The sequel to 2016’s fun, but largely forgettable, animated musical returns the core cast (Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Saunders, Tori Kelly, Taron Egerton, and Nick Kroll) to follow their dreams again, this time to the big city where the execs (Bobby Cannavale and Chelsea Peretti) are only interested in them if they can get legendary rock star Clay Calloway (Bono), who no one has seen in 15 years since the loss of his wife, as part of the show. Joining them this time around are street-dancing lynx (Letitia Wright) who teaches Johnny, an elephant ice-cream vendor (Pharrell Williams) who catches the eye of Meena, and a self-centered yak (Eric André).

Featuring interviews and clips from the likes of Björn Borg, Billie Jean King, Keith Richards, Patrick McEnroe, and John McEnroe and his children, the documentary McEnroe examines the tennis career of the volatile former No. 1 tennis player in the world whose mouth often got him in trouble his talent would have to back up. I don’t know that it strikes new ground for those familiar with his career, but there’s still plenty worth checking out for tennis fans.

With so many vampire movies made over the years, filmmakers have looked to put their own spin on the concept by offering something new.

Riverdale – The Complete First Season

  • Title: Riverdale – Season One

Adapted from one of the longest running comic series, Riverdale brought the characters of Archie Comics to television albeit with a less wholesome vibe than their source material. In some ways it’s so unrecognizable, it took me some time to sit down and give the show a chance. However, despite the modern updates the show turns out to have more going on that you might expect.

The First Season introduces us to the core characters Archie Andrews (KJ Apa), Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart), Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes), and Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) providing various friendship and relationship drama and a mystery to solve involving the disappearance of one of their classmates. In terms of crime solving it delivers, and thankfully with a lack of supernatural causes (unlike The CW’s Nancy Drew.).

Red Notice

  • Title: Red Notice
  • IMDb: link

An overly-convoluted heist flick from writer/director Rawson Marshall Thurber, Red Notice relies on the odd-couple buddy-comedy interactions between smart-ass thief Nolan Booth (Ryan Reynolds) and FBI Agent John Hartley (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) forced to work together to beat another thief (Gal Gadot) from acquiring all three of Cleopatra’s legendary jeweled eggs while being chased by an agent of Interpol (Ritu Arya).
