2017 Spring Movie Preview: 9 comedies due in theaters

Let’s be honest: We could all probably use a good laugh right now. This spring movie season, Hollywood is going to try to deliver them, with no fewer than nine comedies on the schedule between now and the arrival of the summer movie season in early May — and including everything from a movie based on the old TV series “CHiPs” to the latest film from the minds of New Orleans’ Duplass brothers.

New music spotlight: Brad Walker

While he’s not busy touring the country with Sturgill Simpson or busy in the studio playing on other musicians’ projects, saxophonist-composer Brad Walker explores new ground with EP1, released February 1. Last year, Walker and his band recorded in Living Room Studios in New Orleans not entirely sure whether or not those sessions would yield a full record or more of a foundation for later sessions.

Hugh Jackman appears in a screengrab from the first trailer for director James Mangold’s ‘X-Men’ sequel ‘Logan,’ which shot in New Orleans in 2016 under the title ‘Wolverine 3.’ Historically, movies based on comic-book characters have struggled to make a mark at the Academy Awards. Heath Ledger won a posthumous Oscar for his portrayal of The Joker in 2008’s “The Dark Knight,” but beyond that noteworthy exception, superhero films must generally settle for nominations in technical categories, such as sound and visual effects.

The top 10 Hollywood South films of 2016

The big 2016 story in the Louisiana film industry is how relatively few major releases hit theaters when compared to previous years, thanks largely to the Louisiana Legislature’s 2015 tinkering with its filmmaking tax incentive program. Granted, there weren’t so few that disappointments like “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back” or “When the Bough Breaks” made our year-end list of the 10 best locally made films of the year — but they were uncomfortably close.

With Trombone Shorty, Famously Hot New Year Brings the Funk at Just the Right Moment

In 2016, one of the biggest albums released by a rapper was really an honest-to-goodness, psychedelic funk record. Indeed, ” Awaken, My Love “, the latest release from Childish Gambino, aka actor Donald Glover , is a loving, fully fleshed-out tribute to some of the genre’s most famous figures – spiraling through the high-winding sensuality of Prince and tripping through the cleverly convoluted excesses of George Clinton.
