The “Christmas movie” may be a genre, a programming event, a family tradition, but what about the “Easter movie”?  Is there such a thing? In a literal sense, of course: “The Passion of the Christ,” “The Greatest Story Ever Told,” Zeffirelli’s series “Jesus of Nazareth” and maybe someday, “The Chosen.” But as we all know — and even argue about (q.v. “Die Hard”), there’s more to a “Christmas movie” than the Nativity. Christmas is a cultural and social experience of weather, family harmony (and tension), peace on earth and goodwill to men, and movies reflect this. After all, the genre’s most popular entries don’t mention the Nativity or Santa Claus at all: not “A Christmas Carol” (nor Dickens’ novel), not even “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Is there an Easter equivalent? Sort of, yes — back in the ...

The two members of Tomora are contemplating their forthcoming debut live shows, a slate that includes an attention-grabbing slot at this month’s Coachella festival. “We’re still kind of working it out, and I’m getting a bit, ‘Oh my God, what’s going on?’” worries Tom Rowlands, best known as one half of Grammy-winning banger merchants the Chemical Brothers, and now one half of Tomora. Rowlands’ mindset, however, contrasts heavily with that of Aurora, his new musical partner.“I don’t have any stress in my being,” the Norwegian singer-songwriter and pop experimentalist says cheerily, sitting on the floor of the duo’s north London label office with her shoes off. “I’m always like: it’s fine,” she shrugs. “Yes, the house is on fire, but we’ll work it out.”On Tomora’s debut album, Come Closer, t...

Hello everyone to the month of April and all the music therein. We missed making an April Fool’s Day issue by one day, so no fooling, we’re going to stick to the truth as we see it and report on the happenings going on this Easter weekend and beyond.  Oh boy, do I remember a Now Playing column from several years ago when Illinois Times did come out on the first of April so I was able to romp through tomfoolery such as announcing Recycled Records was moving to White Oaks Mall and other numbskull nonsense. Mark Kessler said he received many calls that day in disbelief. All I could do was be in disbelief that anyone thought it was anything but an April Fool’s prank. Now we have no Recycled Records and no Mark, but we do have a Dumb Records downtown and at the mall.  With a busy Easter w...

Flannery O’Connor’s mother, Regina, once expressed to her that it would be nice if the Southern Gothic author could write more pleasant stories that people might want to read. I jokingly shared that anecdote with my mother last week when she asked if I couldn’t write something happier than another article on Carrie Prejean Boller. In honor of my mother’s request, here is a selection of films that would edify viewers as we conclude the season of Lent and enter Holy Week. The Nun’s Story, I Confess, and The Philadelphia Story are gems from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Well-executed movies, their themes are profoundly shaped by the Christian imagination. Despite featuring a young Audrey Hepburn in the leading role, The Nun’s Story is often neglected in discussions of Hepburn’s work, ...

Dozens of South by Southwest attendees got an up close and personal post-festival experience last month as Major Lazer’s Walshy Fire took over the Austin Proper Hotel for an exclusive, one-night-only DJ set. Playing behind a makeshift DJ booth in the hotel’s Japanese restaurant, Kappo Kappo, Walshy Fire’s invite-only party drew curious guests and longtime fans alike, as he spun a dedicated set that went well into the early morning hours. For those staying at the hotel, the event was a chance to experience the property beyond the four walls of their suite.
