Editors’ Picks

Film | Emily Holland, Culture Editor

This week’s pick: “Serena”

I’ve been waiting to see a trailer for “Serena” since filming started in 2012. Reuniting Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper, the film tracks a newlywed couple’s tumultuous relationship as they struggle to run a logging empire in North Carolina during the Great Depression.

Music | Morgan Baskin, Assistant Culture Editor

This week’s pick: Sir Sly’s debut album “You Haunt Me”

They’re moody, seductive and effortlessly cool. California’s rock trio Sir Sly will release their first full album, “You Haunt Me,” on Tuesday.

This week’s pick: Brando Skyhorse, GW writer-in-residence

After attending Brando Skyhorse’s first reading at Gelman Library on Thursday, I immediately Amazon-primed the book. Skyhorse read excepts from his part-haunting, part-hilarious bestseller “Take This Man: A Memoir” – which recounts the web of lies that defined the author’s childhood.
