For the last five years, Brothers Osborne have been one of the more compelling acts operating squarely within the confines of commercial country music. The Maryland brother duo has built a strong live following (and earned a pair of Top Twenty hits) based on their no-nonsense balance of crisp country-rock and crooning slow-jams. The former highlight John Osborne’s thrilling guitar theatrics, while the latter showcase Tj Osborne’s nuanced baritone. The group’s last album, Port Saint Joe, was an elegant display of that honky-tonk yin-yang that leaned slightly towards the group’s slower,...

Updated Exclusive w/chart: As more theaters have inched toward opening as Covid-19 safety restrictions are eased in states like Texas, Georgia, and Tennessee, a top 10 box office chart has emerged, and we just got our hands on the last two weekends.
First of all, it’s still pretty grim out there and this gives you an idea of where we are now, and where we can build from as more states open up. There were around 600 theaters (out of the nation’s 5K) open over the May 29-31 frame, and 728 theaters are expected to be back online this Friday.
Next, there’s been some fake news going on out there that IFC’s The Wretched has been leading at the box office, notching No. 1 and breaking records with a five-weekend straight hold. Not...

Dakota Johnson stars as the assistant to an internationally renown music superstar who dreams of becoming a producer in Nisha Ganatra’s latest romantic comedy The High Note. Produced by Working Title Films, this is the second big blockbuster film to be made available by Universal on digital at a premium price during the Coronavirus outbreak.
Written by newcomer Flora Greeson, the film does a great job in laying out an interesting premise but is sadly let down by a screenplay which feels hugely outdated and, let’s face it, more than a little contrived.
After 3 years as long suffering personal assistant to global superstar Grace Davis (a fantastically acerbic Tracee Ellis Ross), Maggie (Johnson) has set her eyes on a brand new career as producer. Although inexperienced, Maggie has a great ear for music and it soon transpires that she knows far more about the business than your average lowly assistant.

Even though Netflix broke many hearts when it canceled “One Day at a Time,” the streamer is doing what it to repopulate its Latinx programming with top-notch comedies from creators of color. Earlier this year, Netflix launched “Gentefied,” a smart and entertaining former web series about a tight-knit Mexican family weathering gentrification in L.A.’s Boyle Heights neighborhood. In March it will premiere the third season of its charming young adult dramedy, “On My Block,” which released its first trailer today.
Per the official synopsis: “They thought life was about to return to what passes for normal in Freeridge, but the stakes just got even higher. ‘On My Block’ is a coming of age comedy about four bright and street-savvy friends navigating their way through the triumph, pain and the newness of high-school set in the rough inner city.”
“On My Block” was co-created by Lauren Iungerich (“Awkward”) and...

Werner Herzog’s ‘Nomad’ Trailer: Auteur’s Latest Film Follows Life of ‘Kindred Spirit’ Bruce Chatwin
For his latest cinematic adventure, iconoclastic auteur Werner Herzog is tackling a subject close to his heart: his bond with travel writer Bruce Chatwin, who passed away in 1989 after privately fighting HIV for five years. The pair were already long-time friends at that point, but even decades after Chatwin’s death, Herzog’s affection and respect for the fellow artist remains deep. Chatwin is still considered one of the UK’s best loved authors, and his work, including seminal books like “The Songlines” and “In Patagonia,” has long been credited with helping to revive the once-staid genre of travel writing.
Per the film’s official synopsis: “Werner Herzog turns the camera on himself and his decades-long friendship with the late travel writer Bruce Chatwin, a kindred spirit whose quest for ecstatic truth carried him to all corners of the globe. Herzog’s deeply personal portrait of Chatwin, illustrated with archival discoveries,...

This summer, Jordan Peele’s much-anticipated fresh take on the blood-chilling urban legend, “Candyman,” will be unleashed on theater screens nationwide, under the direction of rising filmmaker Nia DaCosta (“Little Woods”). This contemporary incarnation of the cult classic is a direct sequel to the original 1992 film, which starred Tony Todd as the title character. Todd returns for this latest update.
Universal’s official synopsis for the film reads: “In present day, a decade after the last of the Cabrini towers were torn down, visual artist Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and his girlfriend, gallery director Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris), move into a luxury loft condo in Cabrini, now gentrified beyond recognition and inhabited by upwardly mobile millennials. With Anthony’s painting career on the brink of stalling, a chance encounter with a Cabrini Green old-timer (Colman Domingo) exposes Anthony to the tragically horrific nature of the true story behind Candyman.
