New movies to stream from April 13-19<\/p>\n

\u2014 Sadie Sandler, eldest daughter of Adam, is starring in the new Netflix comedy \u201cRoommates,\u201d about a college freshman and her boundaryless dormmate (Chloe East). Nick Kroll and Natasha Lyonne<\/a> play her parents in a cast that also includes Francesca Scorsese, Carol Kane and Storm Reid. It\u2019s streaming on Friday, April 17.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Edgar Wright\u2019s new take on Stephen King\u2019s dystopian 1982 novel \u201cThe Running Man,\u201d<\/a> starring Glen Powell, will be streaming on Prime Video on Friday, April 17. The movie flopped at the box office, making less than $69 million on a reported budget of $110 million. Reviews weren\u2019t the greatest either. The Associated Press\u2019 Jake Coyle wrote that, \u201cfrom the start, the darkest shades of King\u2019s book have been snuffed out of this blandly entertaining remake that swaps out the brutalist 1980s nihilism of the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie for a satirical portrait of America lacking in bite and prescience.\u201d But, Coyle added, \u201cif there\u2019s one aspect of Wright\u2019s film that feels genuinely connected to today, it\u2019s the movie\u2019s media metaphor.\u201d<\/p>\n

New music to stream from April 13-19<\/p>\n

\u2014 It has been exactly 10 years since Zayn Malik<\/a> became the first member of One Direction<\/a> to release a solo record. His 2016 album \u201cMind of Mine\u201d was a declaration of autonomy for the young performer, ambitious R&B tracks from a strong singer known for his breathy falsetto. He was playing to his strengths then, and has continued to do so in the decade that followed. On Friday, April 17, that arrives with the release of \u201cKonnakol,\u201d his fifth full-length record.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Brooklyn-based R&B\/soul singer-songwriter Yaya Bey<\/a> is on a roll. Just last year, she released \u201cdo it afraid,\u201d an album full of surprises: \u201cMerlot and Grigio\u201d featured Bajan dancehall artist Father Philis, the dance-y \u201cDream Girl\u201d had echoes of Prince and \u201cRaisins\u201d was jazzy. That sense of experimentation is also found on \u201cFidelity,\u201d out Friday, April 17. It\u2019s a cathartic collection; an expression of grief and love following the death of her father, the revered rapper, producer and Juicy Crew member Grand Daddy I.U.<\/p>\n

\u2014 He\u2019s one of the biggest names on the planet to the contemporary electronic dance music fan in your life: The house superstar John Summit will release \u201cCtrl Escape\u201d on Friday, April 17, via Experts Only and Darkroom Records. It\u2019s an equal opportunity record, one for the ravers and those who prefer to watch Ultra Music Festival<\/a> performances on YouTube from the comfort of their own living room, alike.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The English disco-pop singer Jessie Ware<\/a> will release \u201cSuperbloom,\u201d also on Friday, April 17. She\u2019s as ready to soundtrack a late night on the dance floor as she\u2019s ever been \u2014 like on the single \u201cRide,\u201d which interpolates the theme from the 1966 spaghetti Western film \u201cThe Good, the Bad and the Ugly\u201d and melts into her sequined synths. \u201cCome be my cowboy, baby, come, let\u2019s ride,\u201d she sings, more discotheque than honky-tonk. \u201cYou know I want you, I need you tonight, tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

The drama followed them home. The first two episodes drop Wednesday on Peacock.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The moon has been in the news a lot lately, so it\u2019s a good time to pay a visit courtesy of Capcom\u2019s Pragmata<\/a>. Unfortunately, the lunar base where it\u2019s set has been rocked by a massive moonquake \u2014 and some parts of it have been weirdly altered by a mysterious substance called Lunafilament.

Before you know it they\u2019ll be making friends, falling in love and having kids. And you can send your character to visit another human\u2019s Switch. Get to know Mii on Thursday.<\/p>\n
