Over this past semester, I studied abroad in three countries and visited more than 20 cities across five different countries. On paper, all of this sounds exciting, sometimes even glamorous.

Almost 31 years since the first “Toy Story” movie was released, audiences can return to a familiar sense of comfort with “Toy Story 5,” directed by Andrew Stanton. The latest installment welcomes back the gang of toys and places cowgirl Jessie, voiced by Joan Cusack (“School of Rock”), at the center of the movie. Pixar's flagship franchise leans heavily into nostalgia. As sentimental as the movie may be, its overbearing anti-technology message gets in the way of play.

“Leviticus” follows the story of two young boys living in conservative Christian Australia. After they get outed and subjected to religious “healing,” the boys encounter a terrorizing entity that takes the form of the person they love the most. After debuting at Sundance Film Festival, “Leviticus” got added to the Festival Favorites section at South by Southwest.

Modern movie-making now consists of an endless array of franchises. Audiences become exhausted of fourth, fifth and sixth iterations of the same characters, both live-action and animated. “Minions & Monsters,” the third installment of the billion-dollar “Minions” franchise, should feel no different to the others. Instead, upon watch, a passionately made story can be found, reminding audiences of the grandeur and magic movies bring to our lives.

Singer-songwriter Ryan Beatty consistently proves himself a talented penman — and his record Sweet Fortune, which released on Friday is no exception.

25 years after “Legally Blonde” inspired generations of young women to pursue their dreams, Amazon Prime Video returned to the franchise with “Elle,” a TV series prequel exploring the high school years of one of pop culture's most iconic characters. Executively produced by Reese Witherspoon (“Legally Blonde”) and starring newcomer Lexi Minetree, the series attempts to answer a question very few audiences were asking: who was Elle Woods before Harvard Law?

After the media storms and controversy over “Don't Worry Darling” in 2022, Olivia Wilde proves herself a self-assured and exciting filmmaker with “The Invite,” which was released on July 10. Confidently directed and executed to near perfection, the adult marital comedy balances hysterical humor with nail-biting tension.

Countless artists can release hit songs and easy melodies that satisfy mass audiences. Charli xcx remains uninterested with both in Music, Fashion, Film . Instead, Charli creates an aggressively anti-mainstream pop album, one even more so than Brat (2024). A discordant album, its songs lurch between grunge, “rock music” and more spoken word than singing. Beneath the remarkably coherent fractured sound, Charli engrosses her work with feelings of nihilism and her identity as an artist.

After performing the lead single from the then-unreleased album “petal” at the Moody Center in June , Ariana Grande released her eighth studio album on Friday. Despite its floral title, the album's visuals stand dominated by black and white imagery. Grande explores fame and resentment that ultimately leads to self-acceptance, resulting in an album that feels deliberately restrained to convey those feelings.
