Dixie Brewery is Coming Home for Good
Culture
On Saturday, January 25, Dixie Brewing Company will open its doors for the first time since 2005. Dixie's rich history as a brewing company began in 1907 in Downtown New Orleans, but due to the destruction of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Dixie was forced to move elsewhere. Following 14 years of out-of-state production, Dixie's homecoming to New Orleans gives locals many reasons to celebrate. Located just eight minutes from the French...

$20 and Under: A Cozy Dish: Spaghetti & Meatballs
$20 and Under
Italians have a long and storied history in our city. In fact, during the late 19th century, just after the Civil War, there was a huge influx of Sicilian immigrants. It was an emigration so large (an estimated 290,000 individuals) that at one point the French Quarter was unofficially dubbed "Little Palermo." Though the population isn't as...

Film Review: Dolittle
Film
When Hollywood has a
family-friendly adventure film with an all-star cast (Robert Downey, Jr. plus
the voices of Remi Malek, Emma Thompson, Kumail Nanjiani, Ralph Fiennes, Selena
Gomez, Tom Holland, Octavia Spencer) and chooses to dump that film in theaters

Film Review: Bad Boys for Life
Film
For me, the third time really is the charm with the Bad Boys films. I truly disliked the Michael Bay directed Bad Boys (1995) and Bad Boys II (2003). I just don't like the way Bay presents his action scenes - the jittery camera and chaotic editing. It's all custom made for short attention spans. While Bay does have an acting cameo in the new Bad Boys for Life, he didn't direct it...and it shows. Bad Boys for Life is directed by Belgian...
