San Antonio Express-News (Sunday)
The A-List
OUR PICKS FOR WHAT TO SEE AND DO THIS WEEK
1. Home video
Someday there will be a female James Bond. Until then, there’s “Barb & Star Go to Vista del Mar,” a fruity drink-colored musical about middle-age best friends (Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo) who thwart an evil plot while enjoying cocktails, the company of a handsome stranger and healthful outdoor activities. Blu-ray on sale Tuesday.
2. Streaming
Tribute shows can be hit or miss, but “Dolly Parton: A MusicCares Tribute” looks solid. Parton’s songs, of course, are great, and they’ll be performed by the likes of Willie Nelson, Yolanda Adams, Leon Bridges, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry and Parton herself. Wednesday, Netflix.
3. Books & authors
Isabel Allende, Walter Isaacson, Jenny Lawson and Nic Stone are among the big names taking part in this year’s San Antonio Book Festival. The literary celebration, featuring more than 100 sessions, will be entirely online this year. Most events are free, though a handful – including those with Allende and Isaacson – are ticketed and include copies of the books being discussed. Registration required. Friday-Sunday, sabook festival.org.
4. Theater
Classic Theatre continues its outdoor season with “Antigone,” Sophocles’ tale of a woman
2 forced to choose between what she believes to be right and what she is told is the right thing to do. It will be the last show directed by Kelly Hilliard Roush as the company’s artistic and executive director; she is leaving that post May 31. Opens Thursday. 7:30 p.m. Thursdays-Fridays and Sundays through April 25, San Antonio Botanical Garden, 555 Funston Place. $24 to $39, classictheatre.org
5. Movie
The sleek-looking sci-fi movie “Voyagers” wonders what would happen if a group of attractive young people bred and raised to be emotionless for deep space flight suddenly started having feelings. Tye Sheridan and LilyRose Depp are among the hotties. Opens Friday in theaters.
6. Album
Taylor Swift isn’t the first musician
to re-record old songs after losing control of the original recordings, but she’s the most famous and most ambitious. First up is “Fearless (Taylor’s Version),” a remake of her 2008 smash hit, which will include every song on the deluxe edition, the single “Today Was a Fairy Tale” and a handful of previously unreleased songs from the same time period. Available Friday.
7. Art
Pabst Brewing Co. and Wide Awake Creative team up to present “In Living Pixels,” a pop-up of interactive installations by Antonio based-artists Wide Awake, Chris Sauter, Natalia Rocafuerte, Charlie Kitchen, Dom Jimenez and Ryan Hunter.
Opens Friday. 5 to 10 p.m. daily through April 15, Aztec Theatre, 104 N. St. Mary’s St. Masks required. Free, but time slots must be reserved at tinyurl.com/hdwd8cn4 .
