“Sing 2”
5/5 Stars
“Sing” was one of the most pleasant surprises from Illumination Studios since “Despicable Me.” Fortunately, “Sing 2” proves to be just as charming as its predecessor and preserves the franchise’s status as, perhaps, the most compelling Illumination franchise to date.
“The Suicide Squad,” “Black Widow,” “Summer of Soul” and “Jungle Cruise” were films that created noise in a summer movie season with many releases.
“B.I.T.C.H.”
Megan Thee Stallion
Released Jan.
“Insatiable” is a wild and satirical Netflix series.
“Slide”
H.E.R, YG
Released Sept 27
RCA Records/Sony Music Entertainment
H.E.R’s smooth vocals blend with the chilled-out backdrop of “Slide,” her latest collaboration with rapper YG.
Florida-based band Wage War is one of the latest metalcore groups bursting into the mainstream.

“Missing Link” is a visually spectacular stop-motion film about friendship and finding one’s place in the world.
Neil Marshall’s “Hellboy” (2019) has the aesthetic sensibility of a Hot Topic: It’s cheap, insincere and reminds you of other places you’d rather be and other films you’d rather see.
Labrinth, Sia and Diplo joined forces and conceived an album, perfectly balancing their styles and strengths to produce a masterpiece that is as exceptional as its creators.
Khalid’s new album, “Free Spirit,” is the record of the summer, made for wind-whipped midnight car rides, relaxing in bed on an easy Sunday afternoon with a cup of coffee or for a gloomy, rainy day with thunder rolling by.
