Alabama Shakes reunited for the first time since 2017 at a benefit concert in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on Wednesday night.

The performance took place during the Tuscaloosa Get Up 3 benefit concert at the Bama Theatre. In addition to performances from Mike Cooley of Drive-By Truckers and Lee Bains of Lee Bains III and the Glory Fires, the band’s Brittany Howard was scheduled to play a solo set. Instead, however, she surprised the audience by inviting her bandmates Zac Cockrell, Heath Fogg, and Ben Tanner onstage to join her.

The quartet played nine songs, including fan-favorites like “Hang Loose,” “Gimmie All Your Love,” and “Hold On.” It marked their first concert together since their 2017 appearance at Osheaga Festival; the band announced an indefinite hiatus shortly after as Howard began to focus on her solo work. Though the benefit concert performance shows that the door on Alabama Shakes isn’t entirely closed, it...

Black Christmas. A familiar title if not a familiar film. Already remade once in 2006, it seems Blumhouse decided 2019 was ripe for reinvention of the film – tasking female filmmakers Sophia Takal and April Wolfe with rebooting the series. And it’s not a big a failure as other reviews have made out. Though it’s not without its problems…

“Black Christmas,” a low-budget Canadian horror movie released in 1974, was a slasher thriller with a difference: It was the very first one! Okay, there were more than a few precedents, from “Psycho” (the great-granddaddy of the genre) to “The Last House on the Left” and “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” to Mario Bava’s “A Bay of Blood.” But “Black Christmas,” directed by the not so horror-minded Bob Clark (who went on to make “Porky’s” and “A Christmas Story”), may have been the first movie to draw the slasher components together, almost by happenstance, into a mythological commercial template: the plot that ritualistically knocks off one pretty young thing after the next; the dark-side-of-a-holiday title; the ending that suggests that the evil will just go on.
