MUSIC
Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull
These two Latin pop giants first came together on Enrique Iglesias’ 2010 track “I Like It,” and now Iglesias is sharing a whole tour with the Miami rapper/singer Pitbull. Iglesias, who broke in the Anglophone world with late ’90s hits like “Be with You” and “Bailamos,” is still riding on his 2014 album “Sex and Love”; Pitbull released his latest, “Climate Change,” in March.

MOVIES
‘The Florida Project’
Director Sean Baker follows up last year’s uniquely touching “Tangerine” with a rather different tale, centering on six-year-old Moonee, who lives with her young mother Halley at a Florida motel owned by the grouchily paternal Bobby (Willem Dafoe). Moonee’s innocent fantasy life contrasts with Halley’s desperate straits, all amid the surreal, candy-coated landscape outside Walt Disney World.

Tis’ the season for F.W. Murnau’s iconic 1922 silent horror masterpiece, whose hideous, skulking, rodentine concept of Count Dracula, played by Max Schreck, was replaced in the ’30s with Bela Lugosi’s suave, charismatic aristocrat. We won’t say who wore it best, but this Dracula is definitely spooky as ever. This screening at Aeronaut Brewing includes a live soundtrack from Jeff Rapsis.

COMEDY
CatVideoFest
It’s not exactly clear how the common house cat because the unofficial mascot of the Internet, but it seems to be a permeant position, at least permanent enough for the CatVideoFest to be in its fifth year showcasing purest breed of online cat vids—and anyone who’s used the Internet knows that was a lot to sift through.
