On Oct. 21, Taylor Swift dropped her new studio album: “Midnights.” The album was written on the premise of 13 sleepless nights she has experienced. Swift’s stories tell tales of self-loathing, revenge and love. Her newer music before this record found a home in the indie-folk genre, while “Midnights” is her return to pop. The album sounds much different than her previous pieces of work while still intricately lacing in concepts and sounds found throughout her discography.

1993’s “Hocus Pocus” may not have garnered the warmest critical reviews when originally released, nor was it a darling at the box-office. However, thanks to years of reruns on television and DVD sales, the film has grown beyond a cult following and become an essential part of the Halloween season. Despite this rise in popularity over the years, a sequel always seemed to be mere whisperings and rumors amongst fans. Even with the three leads — Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy — showing plenty of interest in returning to their roles, the film never seemed to get off the ground. That was until 2022, nearly 30 years after the original. The Sanderson Sisters are back to run amok in Salem in “Hocus Pocus 2.”

“Don’t Worry Darling” is a film about Alice (Florence Pugh) and Jack Chambers (Harry Styles), a picture-perfect vision of “young love”, who live happily in an eerily utopian neighborhood with their ‘50s style home, cars and wardrobes to match. Every day, the wives stand in the cul-de-sac and kiss their husbands goodbye as they simultaneously drive off to work at the mysterious “Victory Project ‘’ for their cult-like leader Frank (Chris Pine). The only explanation given to the wives is that the men work on “the development of progressive materials.” The husbands are forbidden from giving any details about their top-secret work. After the men drive off in their fancy cars into the desert, their wives turn back and clean every inch of their already pristine homes, go shopping with bottomless checking accounts, swim at the country club pool, take dance classes, listen to Frank’s hypnotic propaganda about the Victory Project, cook a five-course meal and meet their husbands at the door with a cocktail. In this picture-perfect world, the only rule the women are given is to never leave.
If you are looking for a book to leave you feeling absolutely empty, Jennifer Saint’s newest novel “Elektra” is for you. Like her other book, “Ariadne,” Saint stayed true to the Greek myths with an emphasis on morals and fate. From cover to cover, “Elektra” is an in-depth, heart-tearing story about rage, revenge and grief. Saint spared no detail and pulled me in chapter after chapter in her gutting rendition of the Battle of Troy.
