Like the lyrics of the song used in the trailers, I wanted this movie to “give me something to believe in,” but what I received was a standard, run-of-the-mill action sci-fi movie.

Laufey has always had one foot in the past and one in the present. Her newest album, “A Matter of Time,” proves she’s not afraid to stretch that distance even further.

Aug. 15 brought with it one of the best breakup albums heard yet this year, pop sensation Conan Gray’s “Wishbone.” If you haven’t done so yet, pop in those headphones and buckle up for an emotional rollercoaster of an album about heartbreak, bitterness and overcoming.

With the resurgence of Y2K fashion, celebrities and downturned stock markets comes spin-offs and remakes of our beloved childhood movies.

In this performance, the cast and crew of Baylor Theatre have lifted the words straight from the pages of your sophomore year English textbook and breathed new life into this classic story of revenge.

Seven years after its cancelation Daredevil has risen from the grave, with an entirely different set of showrunners. Despite the show’s higher budget, returning cast, CGI, and slick new look. There are still multiple plot holes, and weak storylines that hold it back from being a near-perfect season.

His latest album release, “WITHERED,” features a mix of new songs and released singles. Mostly full of slower tunes, the album encapsulates the energy original fans have grown to love and expect from d4vd.

Released on April 11, this slow-burning psychological thriller doesn’t rely on predictable tropes or recycled plot lines. Instead, it offers something visually striking, emotionally intense and cinematically different. If I could rate it, I’d give it a solid four out of five stars.

At its core, Reacher is a power fantasy. It lets its audience imagine a world where injustice doesn’t go unpunished — where a six-foot-three giant like Reacher can show up and save the day whenever needed. It’s this same fantasy that made season one a smash hit years ago. While season three tries to go back to the same basics that made it popular, it unfortunately falls short of the high standard’s set.

We’re officially one Tunesday closer to spring break. Keep on sticking it out. In the meantime, here are some pop and indie hits from this weekend to keep you going.

Tate McRae has undoubtedly made waves in the pop music scene with her incredible stage presence and fun, flirty lyrics. But does her newest album, “So Close To What,” which dropped Monday, solidify her among the pop icons of her generation?

Centineo does a great job also carrying the show’s humor. The same boyish charm he showed in To All the Boys I Loved Before makes him shine like a diamond in this new season.

“Companion” struggled to find its identity. It’s a jack of all trades in the sense that it fits into a ton of different genres, but it truly was the master of none. It wasn’t scary enough to be horror, wasn’t funny enough for comedy, wasn’t romantic enough. Any genre you’d think of — it wasn’t enough.

While this film might not do enough to satisfy the most dedicated Bob Dylan fans, it’s good enough for me. I’d recommend this film to anybody who’s ever even heard of Bob Dylan and his music. Even my sister who hates Bob Dylan thought it was a good movie.

What happens when you mix Y2K hysteria, campy death scenes and a cameo from The Kid Laroi? You get “Y2K,” a time capsule of chaotic fun that doesn’t take itself too seriously. This movie blends nostalgia, humor and a dash of absurdity into an unforgettable cinematic experience.

After weeks and even months of choreographing, practicing and dancing ‘til they drop, the performers of Pigskin had their moment of glory tonight. After the homecoming court was announced and the curtain was dropped, it was showtime.

Some may find it an inspiring reflection on the nature of civilization, while others may be frustrated by its narrative inconsistencies. However you feel about it, I think the film did its job.

On the other hand, while it seems like repetitive components of this album are sometimes there to take up space, people can’t forget that Coldplay has always been able to say a lot through saying a little. They do this through their unique music and sounds, and sometimes repetitive phrases help better communicate their message.

I typically am a sucker for musicals — “La La Land” and “Moulin Rouge!” being some of my favorites. However, both of those films provided both a compelling narrative and emotional interest — aspects that were absent from this sequel.

Bring a box of tissues and run to see this heartwarming comfort movie to remind yourself that everything will be alright as we approach the midterm season. Enjoy an hour and 40 minutes of beautiful animation and adorable animals, and rest assured — there will be no dry eyes by the time the credits roll.

Starting his career in 2015 with the release of “Bcos U Will Never Be Free”, O’Connor set a new standard for the indie music community, creating a new genre known as “bedroom pop.” His music creates a narrative for teenage boys — talking about hard-to-discuss topics like love, depression and loss.

Being someone who was first frightened by the eclectic sandworms when I was 6 years old but immediately fell in love with the film, I did not have a second film on my 2024 bingo card. With that being said, my bingo card is now in the trash, and I am eager to announce that “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” is a masterpiece sequel.

The album is appealing to listen to because Strait effectively uses nostalgia in two ways: by reminiscing various parts of life, and incorporating stereotypical country tropes and characteristics to his sound.

Rhett is well known for his ability to combine traditional country music with pop, providing a modern mix that is refreshing to hear. However, Rhett took this album a step further with songs that could be classified under all sorts of genres including old country, new country, rock, pop and more.

I’m not going to lie — I walked into the Waco Cinemark with expectations for this movie that weren’t exactly positive. Based on comments from friends and on social media about themes of supposed glorification of domestic violence in the film and simply knowing Colleen Hoover’s reputation for raunchy romances, I wasn’t expecting “It Ends With Us” to be my cup of tea — and it really wasn’t.

With a fan base in the millions, the critically acclaimed original is placed on an exceptionally high pedestal for its world building, original music, redemption arcs and so much more. However, this should not be the same standard for other renditions of the story.

The Dutch Bros menu is more complicated than a girl’s Starbucks order and can be difficult to navigate for first-timers. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and try Dutch Bros employees’ favorite drinks.

Illumination and Nintendo did not hesitate on filling the movie in with cameos of every character they could that has been in a Mario game. From Super Smash Bros., to the Captain Toad games, to Mario Kart, this movie had everything thing that you could think of, making it the ultimate love letter to the character that made Nintendo a household name.

With this record, the group showcases their ability to craft a cohesive musical narrative that slowly builds a dreamy state through the chemistry of every track working together.

Even though not all of the songs featured during the concert may have been my personal favorite, Muse made up for it with an amazing stage presence and flawless execution of vocal and instrumental performances by all three members of the band.
