Candyman directed by Nia DaCosta starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Teyonah Parris, Colman Domingo, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Tony Todd, and Vanessa Williams opened in theaters today. You can read my review of the film here, but the movie’s soundtrack features a variety of songs from Fiona Apple to Jamila Woods. Let’s talk about the soundtrack….
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 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.
Reservation Dogs has been one of the most anticipated shows of the year, a slice-of-life take on indigenous life coming from the creative mind of Taika Waititi and Sterlin Harjo, and it has finally premiered exclusively on FX on Hulu. Here is a look at each of the songs featured in the show in the […]
Ready to fill all of your rom-com desires this summer is ‘Resort to Love’ starring Christina Milian, Sinqua Walls, Jay Pharoah, and Alexander Hodge — out today on Netflix. This film is packed with pop songs, and with good reason, because our main character here is a wedding singer, and Alicia Keys served as one of the movie’s producers. Bring on the music!
We all saw the commercial that premiered during the Super Bowl earlier this year (even though that already feels like years ago). With a phenomenal cast along with an instantly interesting premise, people (myself included) were excited to see what M. Night Shyamalan had up his sleeve for us this time.
