Following a few weeks of fright flicks at the cinemas, this week unleashes a big, lively musical for all to enjoy. In The Heights is now out for everyone to see, and it's wonderful. Also out and not wonderful at all, Infinite, a streaming feature starring Mark Wahlberg. Some other interesting new releases - George A. Romero's lost film, The Amusement Park, and the TV continuation of the film Blindspotting, both of which are very worthwhile. Additionally, take a listen to our latest podcast episodes, which includes our take on the third Conjuring film. So, enjoy all of these reviews and more, and be sure to check out my various essays, lists, and new trailers available to dig into as well. Enjoy, stay safe out there, and thanks for reading!
