I watched James Wan’s 2021 film “Malignant” on a whim with no expectations.
“He’s All That” stars TikTok influencer Addison Rae. Her character, Padgett Sawyer, is a TikTok influencer herself who finds her boyfriend cheating on her with one of his pop-star backup dancers.

Little Simz, real name Simbiatu “Simbi” Abisola Abiola Ajikawo, had been a quiet but dominant force in rap and R&B even before her debut album, “A Curious Tale of Trials + Persons,” dropped in 2015 after four mixtapes and five EPs. She pays tribute to herself as the name of her latest album bears her initials (S.I.M.B.I).
Halsey released their fourth album, “If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power” on Aug. 27, with no singles before the release. It was released alongside a film directed by Colin Tilley, who has directed music videos for artists such as Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber and Britney Spears.
After nearly two years of waiting from the initial announcement of a new album, fans were finally rewarded for their patience on Aug. 29.
It made sense that when we first went Uptown two weeks ago after arriving in Oxford early for band camp, my friends’ faces fell after spotting the new marquee at Brick. It listed a somewhat-familiar, somewhat-new lineup: Karaoke Night on Mondays, Country Night on Wednesdays … and, instead of the beloved ’90s Night, “TikTok Tuesdays.”
Watching David Lowery’s “The Green Knight,” it’s hard to believe it’s based on the 14th-century tale. While I don’t watch that many movies, it has to be one of the most unusually clever and artistically adventurous films I’ve seen in ages.
I didn’t intend to become a Jack Antonoff fan.
Never again do I want to watch someone’s head go through a meat grinder.

Almost 25 years since “F# A# Infinity,” post-rock drone collective Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a meditative experience – a mix of noise, guitar, and vocals twists around, formulating a deceptively precise and metered adaptation of rock's inconsistent sounds.
At 75 years old, Parton’s already accomplished more than most people hope to in their lifetime - but she isn’t done yet. Here are a few other things that Parton’s accomplished that are not only impressive, but have shown her love for making the world a better place:
As a self-proclaimed “Hamilfan,” or fan of the smash-hit musical “Hamilton,” it would be an understatement to say I was excited for Lin-Manuel Miranda’s newest movie musical adaptation, “In the Heights” (ITH).
After years of telling myself I didn’t care about royalty and would never choose to learn more, I decided it was finally time to start watching “The Crown.”
I get my love for music from my dad. I’m sure a lot of people can say that. What most others can’t say, though, is that my music taste mirrors his almost exactly. Though my music taste truly spans all eras and genres, I listen to classic rock more than anything else. My friends affectionately call it “boomer music.”
