#REVIEW: “CASINO ROYALE IN CONCERT”
Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong
Until it was eclipsed by Skyfall in 2012, CASINO ROYALE was the biggest grossing James Bond movie in the series. Not only was it Daniel Craig’s debut in the title role, it was also a compelling, well-acted story that did not rely on gadgets and eye-rolling jokey double entendres. The action sequences continue to thrill and amaze, yet in this Movie they just felt more plausible and believable. To experience CASINO ROYALE IN CONCERT was truly ...

E.T.'s universal appeal is undeniable. The 1982 Steven Spielberg classic is one of the first Movies I saw ever which drew me truly to the magic of cinema. I was late to catch-on to its legacy - my first time seeing it on its 20th anniversary in 2002 at my local Cineplex, thanks to Enzo at my local video store. Instead of taking our rental money, generously he gave me and my dad twenty dollars, urging us to go enjoy it in a format that it is ...

Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong
Ominous fog and a healthy amount of mosquito coverage could not stop nearly four hours of music from unfurling at TD Echo Beach last night, presented by TD Music Access.
Indie band Quiet Company briefly warmed up the crowd before Dashboard Confessional took the stage around 8 PM. The typically quiet emo band was nearly unrecognizable in their set, fueled by the infectious energy of lead singer Chris Carrabba. He told fans early on that he had drank ...

#REVIEW: JASON MRAZ IN TORONTO AT MASSEY HALL
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Having been a Fan of Jason Mraz for the last six years has meant seeing him on his last two Tours in Toronto, both of which took place at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre, and seeing him at an even more intimate venue in Massey Hall was a no-brainer. Now what is great about an Artist like Mraz is that he collaborates with Bands and Artists that deserve the exposure in the name of musicality over gimmicks. On this Tour, he brings along longtime Pals ...
