This week brings a mix of new films, books, and theatrical performances to audiences. Among the highlights is Practical Magic 2, a sequel that continues the story of Sally Owens (played by Sandra Bullock) and her daughters, Kylie (Joey King) and Antonia (Maisie Williams), as they confront the family’s long-standing love curse. The film, now in theaters, has been praised for retaining the original's focus on female strength and resilience. A review noted that the sequel doubles down on the core appeal of the first film, emphasizing the power of the feminine in overcoming challenges. Also released this week is Magick by Thomas Waters, a new book that delves into the visual culture of spells, illusions, and psychic powers throughout history. The book explores how these elements have been represented in art, literature, and popular culture, offering a historical perspective on the allure and mystique of the supernatural. It is now available for purchase and is expected to appeal to fans of both history and the occult. From Australia comes Leviticus, a horror film that follows the romance between two teenagers, Naim and Ryan, who are forced to attend a strict sexual conversion therapy session led by a fundamentalist "healer." After the sessions, participants experience strange convulsions and are pursued by an evil entity that resembles the person they desire most. Described by horror expert Matt Jacobsen as a "beautifully made, eerie and emotionally sophisticated horror film," Leviticus is now in theaters and has drawn attention for its intense themes and atmospheric storytelling. In London, the National Theatre is hosting Electra/Persona, a play that merges elements of Sophocles’ ancient Greek tragedy Electra with a stage adaptation of Ingmar Bergman’s 1966 film Persona. Starring Cate Blanchett and Nina Hoss, the production runs until October 10 and offers a dramatic exploration of identity, grief, and transformation. The play has been noted for its powerful performances and intricate storytelling. Fans of the French comedy-drama series Call My Agent! will find a feature film version of the show now available on Netflix. While the film has struggled to match the star power of the original series, it still offers a familiar and engaging look at the lives of a group of reunited former agents, with plenty of humor and camaraderie to enjoy. Finally, the British Museum is currently displaying the Bayeux Tapestry, a historic artifact that recounts the events of the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. Alongside the tapestry, a curated collection of books and articles explores the secrets and stories woven into its threads, offering visitors a deeper understanding of this remarkable piece of history.
