Witchboard review New Orleans couple channel dead French witch in fun occult thriller

Jamie Campbell Bower gave the standout performance as the big bad in the otherwise ho-hum fourth season of Stranger Things, and in this tawdry but fun occult-themed thriller, like Satan himself, he's back to his same old scene-stealing tricks. Once again, he's not the protagonist but a sinister figure first met literally in the shadows, making ominous pronouncements in that posh-boy accent. When finally revealed, he is dipping his chin and looking up with those uncannily blue eyes like a vogue dancer catching the spotlight. If he keeps at it with roles like this, he could be the Peter Cushing of modern horror, but with catwalk-queen hair, or the goth equivalent of the young Ralph Fiennes in his rent-a-villain era. What's not to love?

5 best New Orleans coffee shops for remote work

The coffee itself should be solid, but I need some reasonable un-caffeinated options, too. I'm usually on the run, so easy parking matters. Be smart: These are businesses, so if you plan to hang around for long, make sure your order justifies use of the table and tip more generously than usual.

The New Orleans That Hurricane Katrina Revealed

It's only the fifty-fourth largest city in the United States-down from fifth largest two hundred years ago-but it occupies a much larger place in the national mind than, say, Arlington, Texas, or Mesa, Arizona, where more people live. There's the food, the neighborhoods, the music, the historic architecture, the Mississippi River, Mardi Gras. But the love for New Orleans stands in contrast to the story that cold, rational statistics tell.

A gay Mardi Gras': the lesbian pop-up bar in New Orleans that was born after Hurricane Katrina

A few months after Hurricane Katrina struck Louisiana in August 2005, Jenna Jordan went on a search for other queer women. She was looking for camaraderie with people like herself who had returned to New Orleans after the storm. Some neighborhoods with sizable gay populations such as the French Quarter were largely spared from flooding, but areas with queer people of color and lesbians, such as Mid-City, weren't as fortunate.

20 years after Katrina, New Orleans schools are still 'a work in progress'

"I was so against charter schools. I thought it was the pits," says Mary Haynes-Smith, the school's longtime principal. Haynes-Smith didn't like what she'd heard from parents that they felt shut out by the private organizations hired to run the charter schools. But as New Orleans crept closer to becoming the country's first all-charter system in the 2010s, the handful of traditional schools left, including Bethune Elementary, started feeling more pressure. "It was a forceful thing," she remembers.
