TV & MOVIES 'Till'
Based on the true story that helped spark the civil rights movement, Danielle Deadwyler stars as Mamie Till Mobley, a mother seeking justice for her 14-year-old son, Emmett Till, who was abducted and brutally lynched in a racist attack in Mississippi in 1955. DETAILS Review: ‘Till’ grippingly reorients an American tragedy'Ticket To Paradise'
George Clooney and Julia Roberts reunite for their sixth movie together. In the rom-com directed by Ol Parker (”Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again”), the duo plays contentious exes who travel to Bali on a joint mission to stop their daughter (Kaitlyn Dever) from marrying a guy she just met. DETAILS Review: Julia Roberts, George Clooney bring charm to ‘Ticket to Paradise’ ‘Descendant’ One of the year's standout documentaries , Margaret Brown's "Descendant" takes a wide lens to the discovery of the Clotilda, the last known ship to bring African captives to the American South for enslavement. As Brown has said, the discovery of the ship — sunk near Mobile, Alabama, after it brought 100 Africans in the mid-19th century decades after the international slave trade had been outlawed — is "just the tip of the iceberg." Speaking to many of the Clotilda descendants and others in the community around Africatown, where many of them settled, Brown ruminatively explores past and present, heritage and community. The film, which debuts Friday, Oct. 21, on Netflix and in select theaters, was a prize-winner at the Sundance Film Festival. DETAILS ‘Raymond & Ray’ In Rodrigo Garcia's "Raymond & Ray," on Apple TV+ Friday, Oct. 21, Ethan Hawke and Ewan McGregor play half-brothers reunited for their father's funeral. Written and directed by Garcia ("Nine Lives," "Albert Nobbs"), and produced by Alfonso Cuarón, the film mixes catharsis and comedy as the two reckon with the damage done by the abusive father. DETAILS ‘Ghostwriter’ Young viewers are in luck this week. "Ghostwriter" returns Friday, Oct. 21 on Apple TV+, with new stars Princess Mapp, Nour Assaf and Daire McLeod. As the pals attempt to solve an ongoing ghostly mystery, they find themselves in the company of characters inspired by "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," "Charlotte's Web" and other stories. There's a promising newcomer with Netflix's four-part animated series "Oni: Thunder God's Tale," also out Friday, Oct. 21 and including Momona Tamada, Craig Robinson and George Takei in the voice cast. In a world of "oddball gods and monsters" inspired by Japanese mythology, untested Onari is determined to guard her village from the enemy called the "Oni." DETAILS ‘Doc Martin’ "Doc Martin" is getting a proper and extended farewell on Acorn TV. The 10th and last season of the British comedy revolving around an irascible small-town doctor (Martin Clunes) began this week with two new episodes, followed by one new episode weekly through its next-to-last episode on Nov. 28. On Dec. 26, the documentary "Doc Martin — A Celebration" will pay tribute to the series, followed by its finale on Dec. 29. The big question: Does Doc revisit his decision to resign from his practice in Portwenn? Eileen Atkins is back as Doc's daunting Aunt Ruth, with Lesley Nicol and Rupert Graves among the guest stars. DETAILS ‘Documentary Now!’ The purported goal of IFC's "Documentary Now!" is to honor innovators in the genre. Its real mission, of course, is to make us laugh, and it's garnered the usual impressive names for the six-episode season, which began Wednesday. Helen Mirren is back as host, with guest stars including Cate Blanchett, Harriet Walter, Jonathan Pryce, Nicholas Braun and legendary pop singer Tom Jones. The two-part season opener, written by John Mulaney, stars Alexander Skarsgård as a German filmmaker fighting nature and more to make his masterpiece — as in "Burden of Dreams," which detailed Werner Herzog's quest to make 1982's "Fitzcarraldo." The series is also available on AMC+. DETAILS ‘Adventures in Moviegoing’ With Halloween approaching, a rush of horror films are making their way to most streaming services. One currently streaming series on the Criterion Channel takes a different tact, with 11 films picked by Ari Aster, the director of a few of the most nightmare-inducing films of recent years: "Hereditary" and "Midsommar." In "Adventures in Moviegoing" with Aster, the director chooses films that have shaped his life, from Kenji Mizoguchi's "Sansho the Bailiff" to Lucrecia Martel's "The Headless Horseman." DETAILS |

Taylor Swift Stay up until midnight on Friday, Oct. 21 for the latest Taylor Swift album, appropriately named "Midnights." The standard-issue album will have 13 tracks, which tell "the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life," the singer-songwriter posted online. It's been nearly two years since Swift's last studio album, "Evermore." The new album has one known main collaboration — "Snow on the Beach" with Lana Del Rey. Other titles are "Karma," "Anti-Hero" and "You're On Your Own, Kid." The only other clues to what the album sounds like are posts of photos with producer Jack Antonoff and a glass of white wine. DETAILS ‘Songs and Stories from the first three MSB albums’
Michael Stanley Band members Jonah Koslen, Tommy Dobeck and Daniel Pecchio will offer local music fans a blast from the past this weekend. The trio will unite to share songs and stories from MSB’s first three albums live on the Kent Stage on Friday, Oct. 21, and Saturday, Oct. 22. In honor of the concerts, legendary Cleveland photographer Janet Macoska has unearthed a never-before-seen collection of images from Michael Stanley Band’s iconic Oct. 29, 1976 concert at the Agora. The show was one of three performances preserved to make up MSB’s 1977 live album “Stage Pass.” Koslen (guitar), Dobeck (drums) and Pecchio (bass) each performed at those concerts, which will surely be one of the many stories told this weekend. Tickets for both concerts are still available on the Kent Stage’s website. READ MORE Marcus King at the Agora
Guitarist Marcus King’s latest album, “Young Blood” -- produced by the Black Key’s Dan Auerbach in Nashville -- takes stock of the singer, guitarist, songwriter and bandleader’s struggles with substance abuse and a bad relationship break-up. He says the confessional songs are also getting him the strongest responses he’s ever had on tour. King performs at 7 p.m. Sunday at the Agora in Cleveland. Tickets are $35 to $65. Agora, 5000 Euclid Ave., Cleveland. 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 23. DETAILS Babyface That smooth sound you hear signals the return of Babyface. On "Girls Night Out," the 12-time Grammy Award-winner has collaborated with next-generation R&B/hip-hop stars such as Ari Lennox, Doechii and Queen Naija. The project's first two singles, "Keeps On Fallin'" with Ella Mai — plus a video that stars Tiffany Haddish and Kendrick Sampson — and "Seamless" with Kehlani, are seductive, slinky R&B jewels. The album, out Friday, Oct. 21, reminds Babyface of another project he did that explored stories from his collaborators. "The process for it reminded me of when I did 'Waiting to Exhale' and I'm excited for the world to hear." DETAILS a-ha If you think a-ha is only known for "Take On Me," take on this: The band's 11th studio album, "True North" out Friday, Oct. 21, sees the Norwegian stars perform and record with the Arctic Philharmonic orchestra, spinning off a full-length film in the process that weaves together the songs and recurring vignettes in which actors portray life in the north. "'True North' is a letter from a-ha, from the Arctic Circle, a poem from the far north of Norway with new music," says keyboardist Magne Furuholmen. Single "I'm In" is a glorious, slow-burning anthem. DETAILS Arctic Monkeys The cover image — and later the title — of Arctic Monkeys' new album came from a photo taken by drummer, Matt Helders. It's a oddly mournful shot of a car alone in a parking lot. "I had a hunch when I saw it for the first time that it should be the next record cover," says singer Alex Turner. "The Car," out Friday Oct. 21, is the band's seventh studio album and features 10 new songs written by Turner. Singles include the lush breakup song "There'd Better Be a Mirrorball" and "Body Paint," which sounds almost rock opera-esque with David Bowie-like flourishes.
