Candyman (2021) is a reboot while simultaneously acting as a semi-sequel, however, it never entirely commits to being either one. Having seen the original 1992 film would only enhance your understanding of who the Candyman is, but this 2021 edition also easily stands on its own. There are several glimpses of brilliance, but it never entirely amounts to what it aimed to do.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is a blast from start to finish. Packed with action, drop in some drama and make it complete with comedy. This cast works so well together on screen with such chemistry, and they really elevate one another’s performance. Everything felt so fresh and unique in the best ways, and I think everyone will be pleased with different aspects of the movie.
Workplace, dramedy, and satire might seem like quite the hodge podge of words to describe one show, but they’re all accurate characteristics of “The Chair.”
Nine Perfect Strangers premiered on Hulu today, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the biggest shows of the summer (maybe even of the year?)! Based on the bestselling book by Liane Moriarty, Nine Perfect Strangers is set at a boutique health and wellness resort led by Masha (Nicole Kidman) promising its 9 guests a better way of living following their 10-day retreat.
Fans and critics are already comparing the show to Friday Night Lights, so that’s some pretty high praise. Similar to that show, the soundtrack plays a role itself in the series. Jeff Cardoni composed the score for the series, which does an absolutely incredible job at building up the intensity of the scenes and adding even more hype. Jonathan Leahy is the music supervisor for the show, responsible for curating the songs for the series’ soundtrack.
Beckett debuted on Netflix today following its world premiere at the Locarno International Film Festival earlier this month. Starring John David Washington, Alicia Vikander, Vicky Krieps, Yorgos Pirpassopoulus, and Boyd Holbrook, the cast for this action-thriller is pretty great. After a car accident in Greece, Beckett (John David Washington), an American tourist, gets caught up in the middle of a political conspiracy that forces him to go on the run for his life.
Season 2 of “Modern Love” has premiered on Amazon Prime Video today, and it maintains that sense of charm we came to love with the first season. Pulling stories from essays in the New York Times column, there’s something about a thirty-minute slice-of-real-life that makes this stand out from the sea of streaming options. Showcasing love in all of its different forms is what has set this apart, and I’m happy to say that thread is consistent with this second season.

The highly-anticipated Gossip Girl reboot premiered last month on HBO Max, and one of the most widely discussed aspects of the series has been the music featured in the show! I got to talk to Rob Lowry, the music supervisor responsible for the popular needle drop moments and song selections for Gossip Girl.
The Kissing Booth 3 premiered today on Netflix to officially close out The Kissing Booth trilogy. The movie still follows the narrative that fans of the franchise have proven to love, but this iteration takes some unexpected turns that aren’t typical of your classic rom-com.
