Smiling at her students, English teacher Carmen Gallardo hosts a class discussion about the AP exam. It is one part of the routine that Ms. Gallardo has to ensure that students learn and understand the subject matter. “She gives us a schedule at the beginning of every quarter that breaks down what we're going to do each class.” strings junior Kayci Estelle said. “I think her sticking to such a regimen not only reflects her navy training but who she is as a person.”

Movies

The Incredibles 2

Flying into theaters on June 15, Pixar’s “The Incredibles 2” continues the super adventures of the Parr family. The movie is expected to focus on Helen Parr (Elastigirl) leaving Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible) at home with their three powerful children. Fans will finally be able to see this nostalgic continuation of a childhood favorite.

 

Solo: A Star Wars Story

With the release of another Star Wars movie, one can expect another line of fans of all ages outside the movie theater in anticipation. A stand-alone installment of the series, “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” has a young Han Solo as the focus of the film. Because the Star Wars franchise is known for releasing their films wildly out of order, the film taking place prior to the 1977 original isn’t unusual. Scheduled for release on May 25, fans can expect something out of this world.

Proud Mary

Released on Jan. 12, Mary is a Boston hitwoman whose life changes when she meets a young boy after a hit goes wrong. Portrayed by none other than Golden Globe winner Taraji P. Henson, this film is expected to be a big hit.

 

A Wrinkle in Time

Based on Madeleine L’Engle’s 1962 novel, “A Wrinkle in Time,” the film centers around Meg Murry, a girl who learns that her father is being held captive on a far-away planet. Meg teams up with her classmate, her brilliant younger brother, and a few others along the way in an attempt to save him. Starring Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, and Mindy Kaling, the film releases on March 9, and is sure to leave the audience with not only a bag of overpriced popcorn, but the time of their life.

 

Albums

Migos: Culture II

Expected to release later this month, “Culture II” is the third studio album of Migos, a popular rap group. “MotorSport” and “Stir Fry” are singles from the album released in 2017. “MotorSport” features Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, while other songs on the album album also feature Travis Scott. Due to Migos’ large following, “Culture II” is sure to take off.

 

Justin Timberlake: Man of the Woods

After five years, Justin Timberlake is releasing an album titled “Man of the Woods” on Feb. 2. His album announcement has stated that it is very “personal” to him, which leaves many hoping to see a new side of the artist. As halftime performer for Super Bowl LII, 2018 is clearly the year of comeback Timberlake.

 

Fall Out Boy: Mania

Rock band Fall Out Boy released their seventh studio album “Mania” on Jan. 19. The album was originally scheduled to be released on Sept. 15, 2017, but was postponed due to the band feeling “rushed,”according to frontman Patrick Stump. After releasing five singles, the album is on schedule and leaving fans in anticipation.

 

Camila Cabello: Camila

After leaving girl group Fifth Harmony over a year ago, Camila Cabello released her first solo album on Jan. 12. Less than a week after its  release, the self-titled album “Camila” has already broken an iTunes record: Cabello is the first solo artist to reach Number One on 99 iTunes charts worldwide. After her single “Havana” took some of the top spots on the charts last year, it is safe it say that Cabello’s solo career is off to an excellent start.

TV

 

Scandal / How to Get Away with Murder

2018 will hopefully be the year of coming together as a society, and television is no exception. ABC has announced a crossover of “Scandal” and “How to Get Away with Murder.” There is no current release date for the episodes, but it is sure to give fans something to die for.

 

Grown-ish

A spin-off of the ABC series “Black-ish,” “Grown-ish” brings a whole new perspective to Zoey, the oldest daughter of the Johnson family, as she enters college. Back in May 2017, Freeform ordered 13 episodes of the show, which premiered on Jan. 3, 2018.  “Grown-ish” shows Zoey dealing with typical college issues in a modern, comedic way.

Castle Rock

We all remember the obsession with clowns that surfaced after the release of “It” last fall. Bill Skarsgård’s reign of horror (the genre, that is) isn’t over as he plans to star in Hulu’s “Castle Rock.” The psychological thriller takes place in the fictional town of Castle Rock and is based on the stories of author Stephen King.
