The Five

Charlie's Angels
Genre: Action

Charlie's Angels have always provided security and investigative skills to private clients, and now the Townsend Agency has expanded internationally, with the smartest, most fearless, most highly trained women all over the globe – multiple teams of Angels guided by multiple Bosleys taking on the toughest jobs across the world. When a young systems engineer blows the whistle on a dangerous technology, these Angels are called into action, putting their lives on the line to protect us all.

Frozen 2
Genre: Animation

Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and Olaf are going far in the forest to know the truth about an ancient mystery of their kingdom. Fans of the Disney feature have long clamored for a sequel to the musical charmer, if only to spend more time with a cadre of cute characters (including, of all things, a hammy reindeer and Josh Gad as a sentient snowman who has zero right to be as cute as he is) inside an inventive new world. Perhaps they should have been careful what they wished for, if only because it’s about to be upended by a fresh new story.

The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara
Documentary

This Oscar-winning documentary from Errol Morris is a long interview with former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara concerning his reflections on his political career – particularly his influence on the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War. Similar to his own memoir, In Retrospect, McNamara offers his view of the conflict – and the complicated nature of war in general – to put the Vietnam War in a larger context within 20th century American history.

Ramy Youssef: Feelings
Genre: Stand-up comedy

Feelings is an incredibly low-key affair. It’s beautiful how relatable the material is to anyone who grew up in a conservative religious tradition. The relatability of Feelings is its biggest strength. When someone says “why does this comic have to talk about race” they often ignore the reality that mainstream white comics are also talking about race and ethnic experiences. No other special in stand-up history has been so equally explicit and spiritual, often at the same time. It’s beautiful how relatable the material is to anyone who grew up in a conservative tradition.

Hannah Diamond: Reflections
Music album

Making her debut is Hannah Diamond with Reflections – “a story where I am working towards creating a pixel-perfect digital version of myself… I am perpetually surrounded by screens and on display for everyone to see, but paradoxically feel completely invisible to the one person who I wish would notice me.”
