These are our March picks for new media: music, movies, books and shows.
Red Sparrow
In theaters March 2
Jennifer Lawrence continues in her slew of femme fatale roles with her latest release, in which she embodies a Russian intelligence officer who works against a young CIA officer (Joel Edgerton). However, her struggle to retain her sense of self—and her attraction to her target—threaten her mission and the security of the countries.
The Gunners
On shelves March 20
Rebecca Kauffman brings the story of a group of friends, from their teen years in Buffalo to their mid-30s, as they make their way out of their working-class surroundings to their adult years struggling with a friend’s suicide. The night they spend together after the funeral brings a night of nostalgia, one many readers can relate to, as if they were looking back at an old box of photos remembering the people they used to be, reflecting on where their lives have led them.
Electric Café

Dubbed one of the best female vocal groups of all time—selling more than 20 million records worldwide—En Vogue is back with its seventh studio album, including the previously released “Deja Vu,” “I’m Good,” “Rocket” and “Have a Seat” that featured Snoop Dogg. Their long-sought-after performance in 2016 on Showtime at the Apollo initiated the new record deal with eOne, and an international tour is helping launch the album.
The Flash #42
Available March 14
The Flash has a broader following with the CW TV show, but its origins in the comic book world are still going strong with the latest release written by Joshua Williamson. In it, The Flash must team up with an unlikely ally to protect Central City as Gorilla Grodd takes the fight to a personal level and goes after The Flash’s family.
