#REVIEW: “UNDERWATER”
Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong
Nestled seven miles underneath the ocean’s surface lays a huge deep-sea drilling structure which houses hundreds of workers. As UNDERWATER opens, we see a scantily dressed Norah (a buffed and shorn Kristen Stewart) and hear her spout profound inanities that we, the audience, eventually learn has nothing significant to do with the plot, in a somber voiceover as she tries to rescue a daddy long legs spider from the bathroom sink. Suddenly, all hell ...

#REVIEW: “LIKE A BOSS”
By Mr. Will Wong
Borrowing some ideas from the likes of Romy & Michele's High School Reunion and Bridesmaids, Miguel Arteta (The Good Girl, Beatriz at Dinner) returns with Like a Boss. The Comedy like those Films explores the idea of female friendships tested through the rigours of life and growth. While the Comedy doesn't offer anything particularly new to the genre, that doesn't mean it isn't a fun girl's night out.
Two childhood best friends Mel (Rose Byrne) and Mia (Tiffany ...

#REVIEW: “CATS”
By Mr. Will Wong
We are torn how to look at Academy Award winning Director Tom Hooper's CATS, based on Andrew Lloyd Weber's internationally-adored Musical and also T.S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. On one hand, it is fantastical - a well-intentioned, star-studded, gorgeous-looking spectacle. On the other, it misses the mark its legacy has paved for it. We're certain the legions of fans who adore Cats will find joy at the chance to sing along once again and see its remarkable ...

#REVIEW: HARRY STYLES – “FINE LINE”
By Mr. Will Wong
Harry Styles is back and better than ever with his second Album FINE LINE and we assure you, there's no sophomore slump here. This follow-up to his 2017 self-titled debut is a gorgeous collection of 12 tracks. While his latest effort veered more towards the Rock side, he experiments a bit more to the Alternative with a bit more Pop and Urban intertwined. The melodies are beautiful and the moods are euphoric and uplifting. It didn't take many listens to be sold on ...
