THROUGH AUGUST 15 The Cardinals training camp kicked off in July, but there’s still time to see your favorite players as they prepare for the season ahead.

OPENS AUGUST 6 French writer-director Leos Carax returns with his first film since 2012’s “Holy Motors.” Also Carax’s English-language debut, the musical drama “Annette” stars Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard as a stand-up comedian and opera singer, respectively, who find their lives changed after the birth of their daughter, a “mysterious little girl with an exceptional destiny,” according to the synopsis. To make matters more interesting, the script was co-written by Ron and Russel Mael of the eccentric art pop duo Sparks, who also came up with the story and penned original music for it (they even make appearances in the film). Rated R for sexual content including some nudity, and for language.
In theaters (August 6) and on Amazon Prime Video (August 20)
OPENS AUGUST 6 Director James Gunn takes the helm for the Suicide Squad’s latest outing. Sort of a reboot, but also a standalone sequel that canonizes the previous effort, this latest film sees the return of several actors and characters from the 2016 film — Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis and Jai Courtney — along with the addition of some new faces, like Idris Elba, John Cena and Pete Davidson (Sylvester Stallone can be heard as King Shark, too). It looks as if Gunn will bring a new approach to the series, but the foundation of the plot remains the same — the government tasks some bad guys to carry out missions, with bombs implanted in their heads as a form of collateral. Rated R for strong violence and gore, language throughout, some sexual references, drug use and brief graphic nudity.
In theaters and on HBO Max

This installment, however, is a direct sequel to the original 1992 film of the same name — and as such, it sees actor Tony Todd returning as the titular character created by horror maestro Clive Barker. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Teyonah Parris, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett and Colman Domingo also star. Rated R for bloody horror violence and language including some sexual references.

FROM NOTHING TO SOMETHING
Cypress Hill celebrates 30 years of music
By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
Cypress Hill is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its self-titled debut album. When vocalist Sen Dog reminisces about it, he thinks about the groundbreaking act’s humble beginnings.
“There was a lot of McDonald’s and everybody sleeping in one hotel room,” he says with a laugh. “It was a period when we had to work really hard to make something happen. It seemed like nothing was happening for a long time.”
Cypress Hill traveled the nation in a minivan and couldn’t afford a tour manager to drive it. The musicians took turns driving to and from college shows and were afraid of being dropped from their label.
“We showed up at a university and rapped on top of a lunch table, in the kitchen where they were having lunch,” recalls Sen Dog, born Senen Reyes.
Released on August 13, 1991, “Cypress Hill” — despite little traction — was included on a number of best of lists from the likes of Source Magazine, Rolling Stone and Spin.
However, the tide turned and the success of “How Can You Just Kill a Man” enabled Cypress Hill to tour on a bus and “go to Sizzler” for a nice steak. “Cypress Hill” went multiplatinum.
“There were a lot of hard times in the beginnings of that record before it took off,” Sen Dog says. “I was self-doubting, wondering why the record wasn’t happening. We were waiting for our turn, and it happened. I remember being very happy that one of our songs had made it and fans were responding to it at concerts.”
Times have changed and Cypress Hill is headlining the Mesa Amphitheater on August 15 with Atmosphere and New River native Z-Trip (see accompanying story).
At the show, fans can expect to hear classic Cypress Hill hits, as well as the band’s latest single, “Champion Sound,” which was released earlier this spring. The Black Milk produced/mixed track is Cypress Hill’s first bit of new music since 2018’s “Elephants on Acid.”
The song was featured on the soundtrack of the recently released R.B.I. Baseball 21, the eighth installment of the R.B.I. franchise developed by Major League Baseball and is also the featured track for their partnership with Montejo Cerveza.
Cypress Hill recently partnered with Z2 Comics for a graphic novel, “Cypress Hill: Tres Equis!”
According to Sen Dog, Cypress Hill’s setlist will include “a good four or five songs” from its self-titled debut as well as tracks from the band’s 10 other albums.
“These songs have always been special to us,” he says. “Fans will recognize these four — ‘How I Could Just Kill a Man,’ ‘Real Estate,’ ‘Latin Lingo’ and ‘Hand on the Pump.’
“Those songs are meaningful because we had no idea the world would recognize those songs and sing along with them. That’s a special feeling the first time it happens to you. It makes you feel like more of an accomplished musician.”
Sen Dog says the cliché about debut albums is true: musicians have their whole life to write their first record. In Cypress Hill’s case, the album was written in three years.
“It was really personal,” he says. “We were really living the street life, although not as hard as before. We were no stranger to it. That was the whole vibe and mentality we had back then.”
Cypress Hill features a multiethnic lineup of musicians — which includes vocalist B-Real and arranger DJ Muggs — who helped bolster the band’s success.
“We have everything in our band — an Italian, a Cuban, a Puerto Rican and a Mexican dude,” says Sen Dog, who lives in Nevada. “I think people didn’t know that at first. They’re like, ‘What are these guys?’ They had heard us, but they hadn’t seen us.
“Our sound is different. It goes beyond colors. Our message is for the world. It’s a world that has no color to it. No matter what you think of us, we definitely paid our dues.”
