National Tequila Day is Tuesday, July 24, 2018. Tequila lovers can celebrate their love for the famous Mexican spirit by enjoying a buy one, get one free deal on margaritas at Felipe's Mexican Taqueria.
Felipe's classic handmade key-lime margaritas are made fresh to order. The simple recipe includes 100% blue agave tequila, fresh squeezed key limes, a house-made orange liqueur, and agave syrup. Staying true to its mission of curating authentic recipes, the Felipe's team traveled to the Herradura distillery in Jalisco, Mexico and handpicked the Double Barrel Reposado tequila which is aged for up to a year in a charred oak barrel and then re-barreled into a virgin white oak barrel for one month more.
National Tequila Day falls on Taco Tuesday this year. Reposado tequila is the perfect compliment to any of Felipe's authentic scratch-made recipes, especially our tacos. 11 AM - 11 PM Felipe's Taqueria

The Gospel According to André 2017, 93 min, PG-13 Director: Kate Novack Cast: André Leon Talley, Naomi Campbell, Sean 'Diddy' Combs
André Leon Talley has been a fixture in the world of fashion for so long that it's difficult to imagine a time when he wasn't defining the boundaries of great style. Kate Novack's intimate portrait, The Gospel According to André, takes viewers on an emotional journey from André's roots growing up in the segregated Jim Crow South to become one of the most influential tastemakers and fashion curators of our times. Novack's film draws fascinating, heretofore unexplored connections, between the elegance of André's beloved grandmother and the Black Church of his youth and his later iconic, barrier-breaking work at publications like Women's Wear Daily, W and Vogue. Weaving together a wealth of archival footage from the most glamorous moments in fashion history with André's poignant reflections on his life and career, The Gospel According to André is a cinematic monument to one of the most unique figures of 20th Century American culture. Produced by the team who brought viewers The First Monday in May and Page One: Inside The New York Times and featuring commentary from fashion luminaries Anna Wintour, Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford and countless others, The Gospel According to André is an indispensable addition to the growing canon of fashion documentary.

Boom for Real: The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat 2017, 78min, Not Rated Director: Sara Driver Cast: Alexis Adler, Fab 5 Freddy, Patricia Field
BOOM FOR REAL: THE LATE TEENAGE YEARS OF JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT follows Basquiat's life pre-fame and how New York City, the times, the people and the movements surrounding him formed the artist he became. Using never-before-seen works, writings and photographs, director Sara Driver, who was part of the New York arts scene herself, worked closely and collaboratively with friends and other artists who emerged from that period: Jim Jarmusch, James Nares, Fab Five Freddy, Glenn O'Brien, Kenny Scharf, Lee Quinones, Patricia Field, Luc Sante and many others. Drawing upon their memories and anecdotes, the film also uses period film footage, music and images to visually re-recreate the era, drawing a portrait of Jean-Michel and Downtown New York City -pre AIDS, President Reagan, the real estate and art booms - before anyone was motivated by money and ambition. The definition of fame, success and power were very different than today - to be a penniless but published poet was the height of success, until everything changed in the early 1980s. This is New York City's story before that change. Directed by Sara Driver

Mountain 2017, 74min, PG Director: Jennifer Peedom Writers: Robert Macfarlane, Jennifer Peedom Narrator: Willem Dafoe
Only three centuries ago, setting out to climb a mountain would have been considered close to lunacy. Mountains were places of peril, not beauty, an upper world to be shunned, not sought out. Why do mountains now hold us spellbound, drawing us into their dominion, often at the cost of our lives? From Tibet to Australia, Alaska to Norway armed with drones, Go-Pros and helicopters, director Jennifer Peedom has fashioned an astonishing symphony of mountaineers, ice climbers, free soloists, heliskiers, snowboarders, wingsuiters and parachuting mountain bikers. Willem Dafoe provides a narration sampled from British mountaineer Robert Macfarlane's acclaimed memoir Mountains of the Mind, and a classical score from the Australian Chamber Orchestra accompanies this majestic cinematic experience. Directed by Jennifer Peedom.

Gauguin: Voyage to Tahiti 2017, 102min, Not Rated Director: Edouard Deluc Cast: Vincent Cassel, Tuheï Adams, Malik Zidi
French artist Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was an innovator of modern art, known for experimenting with bold color and distorted proportions, along with his contemporaries Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne. By 1891, Gauguin was already well-known in artistic circles, but had grown tired of the civilized world and its political and moral conventions. Leaving his wife and children behind, he ventures alone to Tahiti, consumed with a yearning for new inspiration. Pushing deep into the Tahitian jungle, Gauguin meets Tehura, his muse, who will consume his mind and inspire his most iconic works of art. With Tuheï Adams and Vincent Cassel as Gauguin. In French with English subtitles. Directed by Edouard Deluc.

Love, Cecil 2017, 98min, Not Rated Director: Lisa Immordino Vreeland Cast: Cecil Beaton, Hamish Bowles, Leslie Caron
Oscar-winning set and costume designer, photographer, writer and painter Cecil Beaton was not only a dazzling chronicler, but an arbiter of his time. From the Bright Young Things to the front lines of war to the international belle monde and the pages of Vogue and then onto the Queen's official photographer, Beaton embodied the cultural and political changes of the twentieth century. In this tender portrait, director Lisa Immordino Vreeland (Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel, Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addict) blends archival footage and photographs with voice over of Beaton's famed diaries to capture his legacy as a complex and unique creative force. Dynamic and lyrical, LOVE, CECIL is an examination of Beaton's singular sense of the visual, which dictated a style that set standards of creativity that continue to resonate and inspire today. Narrated by Rupert Everett. Directed by Lisa Immordino Vreeland.

Cold Water - ( L'eau froide) 1994 france/2018 U.S., 92min, Not Rated Director: Olivier Assayas Writer: Olivier Assayas Cast: Virginie Ledoyen, Cyprien Fouquet, László Szabó
An acclaimed early work by Olivier Assayas that has long remained unavailable, the deeply felt coming-of-age drama Cold Water at long last makes its way to U.S. theaters. Drawing from his own youthful experiences, Assayas revisits the outskirts of Paris in the early 1970s, telling the story of teenage lovers Gilles (Cyprien Fouquet) and Christine (Virginie Ledoyen), whose open rebellion against family and society threatens to tear them apart, as Christine is sent to an institution by her parents and Gilles faces an uncertain future after running into trouble at school. With a rock soundtrack that vividly evokes the period, and provides the backdrop for one of the most memorable party sequences ever committed to film, Cold Water is a heartbreaking immersion into the emotional tumult of adolescence. In French with English subtitles. Directed by Olivier Assayas.

Rodin 2017, 119min, Not Rated Director: Jacques Doillon Writer: Jacques Doillon Cast: Vincent Lindon, Izïa Higelin, Séverine Caneele
Paris, 1880. 40 year-old Rodin (Vincent Lindon) finally receives his first state commission, "The Gates of Hell," which will include "The Kiss" and "The Thinker," two of his most famous creations. Constantly working, he shares his life with his lifelong partner, Rose (Séverine Caneele) and his mistress, the young Camille Claudel (Izïa Higelin,) the gifted student who becomes his assistant and a talented sculptor in her own right during a decade of passion, mutual admiration and creative collaboration. Following their painful break up, Rodin continues to work relentlessly while facing both the rejection and enthusiasm provoked by the sensuality and originality of his sculptures. Rodin's statue of Balzac, long in the making and rejected during his lifetime, will become the starting point of modern sculpture. In French with English subtitles, Directed by Jacques Doillon

The Guardians 2017, 138min, R Director: Xavier Beauvois Writers: Xavier Beauvois, Marie-Julie Maille Cast: Nathalie Baye, Laura Smet, Iris Bry
An affecting human drama of love, loss, and resilience unfolds against the backdrop of World War I. The women of the Paridier farm, under the deft hand of Hortense, the family's matriarch (Nathalie Baye,) must grapple with the workload while the men, including two sons, are off at the front. Hortense reluctantly brings on an outsider, the hard-scrabble teenage orphan, Francine (Iris Bry), to help her daughter Solange (Laura Smet). New tools allow the women to triumph over the land, newfound independence is acquired, yet emotions are stirred especially when the men return from the front on short leaves. Acclaimed filmmaker Xavier Beauvois (Of Gods and Men) revels in the mysteries and beauties of the French countryside, here unravaged by war, with painterly images bathed in natural light, yet keeps his focus on the intricate drama that plays out against the upheaval of the Great War. In French with English subtitles.

Damsel 2018, 117min, R Directors: David Zellner, Nathan Zellner Writers: David Zellner, Nathan Zellner Cast: Robert Pattinson, Mia Wasikowska, David Zellner
Samuel Alabaster (Robert Pattinson), a dapper, well-to-do pioneer, is undertaking a journey across the American Frontier to marry the love of his life, Penelope (Mia Wasikowska). Samuel has brought an adorable miniature horse named Butterscotch as a wedding present, and he hires a drunkard who calls himself Parson Henry (David Zellner) to accompany him and officiate at the ceremony. But it turns out that Samuel has not been completely open about his plans, and the once-simple journey grows treacherous and far more complicated, blurring the lines between hero, villain and damsel. A loving reinvention of the western genre that simultaneously honors and hilariously subverts its conventions, the new film from brothers David and Nathan Zellner (Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter) showcases their trademark unpredictability, off-kilter sense of humor, and unique brand of humanism. With Robert Forster. Directed by David and Nathan Zellner.

Ella Brennan COMMANDING THE TABLE 2016, 96min, Not Rated Director: Leslie Iwerks Cast: Ella Brennan
Ella Brennan is a household name in the restaurant industry. Known today as the inspirational matriarch of the rambling Brennan family of New Orleans and the force of nature behind first Brennan's and then Commander's Palace. Fired by her family at one point, she shouldered on. She was the creator of elaborate New Orleans breakfasts and jazz brunches and revolutionized creole cuisine. A pioneer of the modern American food movement, she pushed her chefs to the forefront helping to launch the celebrity chef phenomenon. What many don't know is that when Ella Brennan was a teenager in 1940's New Orleans, the city's food and drink business was in its infant stage, generating less than a million dollars a year. Today, it has grown into a billion-dollar industry for the city, many crediting the Brennan family, guided by Ella for pushing Creole wining and dining into the American mainstream and creating a lasting impact on how Americans eat and drink. Interviews and verite footage with current and former chefs from Commander's Palace, restaurateurs, peers, family and friends will provide past and present glimpses into Ella's unique life and world. This is the intimate and triumphant story of a groundbreaking American woman.

Film Worker 2017, 94min, Not Rated Director: Tony Zierra Cast: Leon Vitali, Ryan O'Neal, Danny Lloyd
Candid, often funny and sometimes shocking, this utterly fascinating documentary gives unique insight into the creative genius of one of cinema's greatest directors-and the man who helped him fulfill his vision. It's a rare person who would give up fame and fortune to toil in obscurity for someone else's creative vision. Yet that's exactly what Leon Vitali did after his acclaimed performance as Lord Bullingdon in Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon. The young actor surrendered his thriving career to become Kubrick's loyal right-hand man and jack of all trades. For more than two decades, Leon played a crucial role behind-the-scenes helping the notoriously meticulous Kubrick make and maintain his legendary body of work. The complex, interdependent relationship between Leon and Stanley was founded on devotion, sacrifice and the grueling, joyful reality of the creative process. Leon's loyal service did not end with Kubrick's death in 1999; it is thanks to his fanatical dedication that Kubrick's oeuvre is preserved in the quality that the master would have demanded. With Ryan O'Neal, Matthew Modine, R. Lee Ermey, Stellan Skarsgård, Daniel Lloyd, Marie Richardson, Pernilla August and others. Directed by Tony Zierra.
SHOWTIMES: Thursday, July 26 at 7PM ------------------------
Full Metal Jacket Stanley Kubrick 90th Birthday Retrospective 1987, 116 min, R Director: Stanley Kubrick Writers: Stanley Kubrick, Michael Herr Cast: Matthew Modine, R. Lee Ermey, Vincent D'Onofrio
In Full Metal Jacket, director Stanley Kubrick rips the skin from the face of war to expose the dehumanizing effect of the military on the people fed to its emotional meat grinder. Through the eyes of an 18-year-old recruit (Matthew Modine)-from his first days in the seeming hell of Marine Corps boot camp as his superiors try to strip of him his individuality and re-create him as a Marine, to the hell of the 1968 Tet offensive-Kubrick reveals the damage done to the collective human soul by the inhumanity of war. Co-starring Adam Baldwin, Vincent D'Onofrio and Lee Ermey. Based on the novel The Short-Timers by Gustav Hasford.
The Shining Stanley Kubrick 90th Birthday Retrospective 1980, 146min, R Director: Stanley Kubrick Writers: Stanley Kubrick, adapted from the novel by Stephen King Cast: Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd
This legendary chiller stars Jack Nicholson as the off-season caretaker of a possessed hotel who slowly goes mad as evil spirits convince him to go after his family with a fire axe. Stephen King's spooky novel is vividly brought to life by director Kubrick, who infuses the film with some of the most memorable images of his career. Redrum! Redrum! Shelley Duvall co-stars.
Eyes Wide Shut Stanley Kubrick 90th Birthday Retrospective 1999, 159min, R Director: Stanley Kubrick Writers: Stanley Kubrick, Frederic Raphael Cast: Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Todd Field
Stanley Kubrick's daring last film is a bracing psychosexual journey, a riveting suspense tale and a career milestone for stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Cruise plays a doctor who plunges into an erotic foray that threatens his marriage-and may ensnare him in a murder mystery-after his wife's (Kidman) admission of sexual longings. As the story sweeps from doubt and fear to self-discovery and reconciliation, Kubrick orchestrates it with masterful flourishes. Graceful tracking shots, rich colors, startling images: bravura traits that make Kubrick a filmmaker for the ages are here to keep everyone's eyes wide open.

Bat Boy: The Musical was inspired by a series of tabloid headlines published in 1992 by The Weekly World News claiming that a terrifying creature, half-man and half-bat, had been discovered in a cave, escaped, and was being pursued by government officials. In Farley, Flemming, and O'Keefe's musical rendering of the story, a group of spelunking West Virginian teenagers discover the creature near Hope Falls. For lack of a better solution, the sheriff brings him to the local veterinarian (Dr. Parker's) home, where he begins to assimilate to human life and become a part of the Parker family while trying to keep his penchant for sucking human blood under control. Meredith, Dr. Parker's wife, and Shelley, his daughter, become increasingly close with the creature, whom they name Edgar, while Dr. Parker becomes more and more wary of his assimilation into the human world. When Edgar tries to ingratiate himself with the townfolk of Hope Falls, he is quickly rejected, and he and Shelley (who fall in love) run away together. After a single night of joyous freedom, tragedy strikes when Meredith finds them and reveals the dark secret of Bat Boy's origin. With a beat-driven rock score that pays homage to the rock musicals of the late '60s and early '70s, Bat Boy provides a compelling theatrical metaphor for the dangers of prejudice and intolerance.

If caterpillars are creeping and termites are swarming, it must be time for Audubon Nature Institute's 2018 season of "Wild Nights'' and "Insect Adventures.''
Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium is once again offering opportunities for up-close looks - during the day and after dark - at the amazing diversity of arthropods living among us.
"Ever wonder which marvelous moths and beautiful beetles are out and about at night,'' asks Zack Lemann, Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium's Animal and Visitor Programs Manager. "And what about the darting dragonflies and active ants that fly and crawl about during hot summer days? Then don't miss this chance to learn about all the fascinating bugs that inhabit south Louisiana.''
The insect safaris take place in Audubon Wilderness Park located at Freeport-McMoRan Audubon Species Survival Center in Lower Coast Algiers and Audubon Louisiana Nature Center in eastern New Orleans adjacent to Joe Brown Park.
Registration for "Insect Adventures'' includes an aerial net, while "Wild Nights'' guests receive a night headlamp and batteries. All participants receive a small insect collection kit and an exclusive "Wild Nights Insect Adventures'' collectible water bottle.
"Insect Adventures'' are held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., while "Wild Nights'' take place from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Meals are not provided.
The cost is $60 for Audubon members and $70 for non-members (plus sales taxes). Guests must be six years of age or older. The adult-to-child ratio is three children per adult.
New Orleans couldn't pass Louis Armstrong's birthday without a grand affair. Held at the New Orleans Jazz Museum at the Mint, Satchmo Summerfest celebrates Pops' birthday with music, food, and a second-line parade appropriately dubbed the "Satchmo Strut." The fest also includes seminars, discussions, and speakers focused on Louis Armstrong and his contributions to New Orleans - and the world.
Don't skip your laundry this week, y'all. Every year, a mass of white clothing takes over Julia Street as guests explore art galleries in the Warehouse District. What started as a way to revive the downtown's art district, has grown into one of the summer's most anticipated events. Channeling days gone by in New Orleans where residents donned white to reflect the summer sun, guests roam in an out of art galleries with handheld fans in tow on this evening celebration.
Don't put those linens in the wash just yet because Dirty Linen Night rolls through the French Quarter the following weekend! Join in as folks stroll down Royal Street to see the art galleries. Shopkeepers give away free dirty martinis and dirty rice too!

The National Underwear Day Parade New Orleans begins and ends at the Elephant Collective art studio, 3610 Toulouse Street in Mid-City, starting at 7 p.m., Aug. 5. Participants, attired in combinations of briefs, bikinis, brassieres, boxers, boyshorts and what have you will circle Bayou St. John in, what's the press release describes as, "a promotion of body positivity and liberation from the tyranny of outer-garments."
The parade will cross the Bayou at the Magnolia (Cabrini) Bridge at Harding Drive if the ongoing renovation work is complete, or Dumaine Street if it is not.
The modesty-free procession is being organized by Ryan Ballard (one of the founders of the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus Mardi Gras marching parade). Asked if he had any dress code guidelines, Ballard said: "If you're wondering what to wear, wear less."
According to online sources, underwear Day was established by the undergarment industry in 2003.

In lieu of charity underwear, participants are asked to pay a $5 admission. A pre-parade gathering party begins at 5 p.m. and the event is followed by a free "extravaganza of exhibitionism" ball.
