TV, music, movies, and books we're into this week

It's nearing mid-March madness here at Windows Cardinal, and we're keen to kick back a bit this weekend with some neat tunes, a quality movie, or a real folio turner? Need a few suggestions to aid with your piece of cake weekend? We've put together a list of some of the best stuff out there right now.

TV and movies

Hither are some of the movies and Tv shows Windows Central is enjoying this week.

Coco

Recommended past Dan Thorp-Lancaster, staff writer

Despite Pixar movies ruling my life as a kid, I haven't watched one in what feels like ages. But all of the hype around Coco has sparked my involvement, and so I'm going to exist a kid over again this week.

Coco follows a kid named Miguel who simply wants to get an accomplished guitar histrion. But those dreams end up setting off a magical journey into the colorful Country of the Expressionless, where Miguel ends up exploring the history of his ancestors. Plus, at that place's an adorable canis familiaris. What's not to like?

I plan to dive into Coco this weekend, and because its recent Oscar win, I'm expecting quite the journey.

The Lion King

Recommended by Richard Devine, reviews editor

I'one thousand taking the kids to Disneyland real soon then that means a bit of a Disney kick in our business firm.

I Love You lot, Human

Recommended by Al Sacco, managing editor

If you're a fan of 'Apatowian' humor (or jokes by Judd Apatow), you'll love this movie. Of course, it'south not written or directed by Apatow, but yous wouldn't know that by watching it; it has tons of the same actors as Apatow's nearly popular films, and information technology's definitely modeled later on his mode of one-act.

Anywho, I Dearest You, Man is the story of a guy who's almost to go married (Paul Rudd) but who has no male friends. And his bridehoped-for is kind of worried about that. And so before he ties the knot, he goes on a quest to find at least 1 other dude he connects with. That dude turns out to be Jason Segel, a wacky, let-it-all-hang-out kind of guy who'south the polar opposite of Rudd personality-wise. The two start to hang, and hilarity ensues.

Information technology's not a terribly intelligent or nuanced film, merely it's i of those movies you tin watch a few times, and it still holds up well. The jokes are genuinely funny. I've literally watched it half a dozen times (or more than), and information technology cracks me upward regularly every time. Quite simply, I love you, I Love You, Man.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Flavor 12)

Recommended by Cale Hunt, staff writer

I don't remember there's a Telly prove I honey more than than It's E'er Sunny. If you lot've never seen it, information technology's all almost a "gang" of friends who are pretty much the nearly self-centered, despicable individuals you can imagine. And they ain and operate a bar. And they're joined by a character played by Danny DeVito.

Season 13 isn't expected to hit until this fall, and I certainly can't wait that long. I've gone dorsum to sentry season 12 (which is the merely one I haven't watched multiple times) to catch up on the gang'southward exploits.

Music

Here's some of the music the Windows Central team is listening to this week.

Rare Birds — Jonathan Wilson

Recommended past Cale Hunt, staff writer

Jonathan Wilson'southward latest album, Rare Birds, seems a lot spacier and psychedelic than his previous stuff, no dubiousness due to the influence of Roger Waters; Wilson has apparently been playing with him since concluding year.

Still, that'south not a bad thing, and you tin nonetheless tell that information technology'south Wilson behind the controls. Some of the songs near the middle are close to the trademark soft-rock from previous albums, only "Trafalgar Square," which kicks off the album, should give you a adept idea of what'due south in store.

Books

Hither are the books nosotros're reading this week!

The Adult female in the Window — A.J. Finn

Recommended past Al Sacco, managing editor

I just started reading 'The Adult female in the Window' late final nighttime, simply I chop-chop blew through 100 pages and stayed up well past my bedtime considering of it. This volume is the definition of a page-turner.

It's the story of a woman who'due south stuck in her New York City home, because of a recently-contracted case of Agoraphobia, or a fear of open up spaces. Due to the geography of her neighborhood, she has a vantage point into the lives of many different families who live in the buildings around her. Which means she spends her days surfing the web, in bouts of depression over the fact that she can't leave her ain home while drinking wine and occasionally partaking in some good ol' voyeurism.

I'thousand only almost a third of the fashion through the book, so I don't know all that much more than near it, except that a mystery unfolds as the woman helplessly watches from the prophylactic(?) of her domicile. Merely the story is a clear homage to the classic American noir flicks of the mid-twentieth century, and in detail, Alfred Hitchcock, who the narrator lovingly refers to has just "Hitch." The book has hints of Hitchcock'south masterpiece 'Rear Window' sprinkled throughout. It'southward also a twisty mystery that's beautifully written and skillfully paced. 'The Woman in the Window' is the kind of book that literally has me checking my watch regularly to see how much longer I accept to look before I tin can start reading once again. It's that good … and I'm just 100 pages in.

Measuring the Globe — Daniel Kehlmann

Recommended by Cale Chase, staff writer

Gifted to me past a good friend, Measuring the World is the first major novel from Austrian writer Daniel Kehlmann. I'm not far into the story yet, just so far I can see that Kehlmann doesn't listen playing with comedy to beginning the otherwise historical exposition.

This is the fictional story of two very real people, naturalist Alexander von Humboldt and mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, who come across in 1828 in Berlin at a conference. This is also the fourth dimension that Germany was going through some serious changes following Napoleon's fall, and these two characters apparently get seriously wrapped upwardly in it all.
