For longtime Nashvillians, the official start of spring isn’t a week off with the kids or the sundry 80-degree days that dot early April, but the 250,000 bulbs that begin to rear their heads at Cheekwood a couple of weeks after Valentine’s Day. Now in its 13th year, the spring showcase has seen marked growth, nearly doubling its amount of tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils perfectly arranged across the estate’s 55 acres.

Having lived 27 years outside of Tennessee, I’ve had plenty of opportunity to watch the places I’ve lived in grow and change with the times. My hometown of Aurora, IL, has changed dramatically in the past three decades, especially since I moved out as an adult to become a journalist. It’s even changed dramatically in the four years since I moved. It was curious, then, to return to my roots after years of working abroad to discover that Nashville came back with me.

Spartan(VOD Rental) David Mamet’s first-daughter-gone-wild political thriller didn’t make much of a box-office dent in 2004. Regardless, Kilmer’s turn as a rogue secret service agent dedicated to rescuing her from Saudi sex traffickers offers serious John Wayne in The Searchers vibes that proved the former Batman should have been as big of a stalwart action hero as that other bro from Top Gun.

Eighty minutes into his latest #1 movie, A Working Man, Jason Statham has gone beyond scorched Earth on the members large and small of a Russian mob cabal that made the mistake of kidnapping his boss’s daughter for its human trafficking side hustle. But a translucent leather-clad loner with a steampunk machine gun bursts into the frame with his unrelenting stream of bullets and wildman screaming.

An elementary school field trip or two aside, many Nashvillians haven’t spent much time at The Parthenon. But there’s far more to the Music City landmark than the steps that make for the perfect resting place during a Sunday afternoon in Centennial Park.

Holland(Prime) Despite scattershot reviews, this largely Nashville shot Nicole Kidman neo-noir about a smalltown Michigan teacher who suspects her husband is having an affair is an unhinged trip that never quite veers into American Beauty’s urbanite contempt for the rest of us. With assists from Gael Garcia Bernal and Matthew Macfayden, this would have been a heck of a weekend at the art theater circa 2006.

Good afternoon, everyone. I’m thinking of the Trailer Park Boys scene where rockstar Sebastian Bach goes to the model train convention. And as luck would have it, on Saturday, the Nashville Steam Preservation Society is holding an open house to show off their restoration of a 1942 steam locomotive. I’ve been over there to look at the train before. Worth a visit. Onward. 🖋️ Edited by Megan Podsiedlik.

There’s no crying at film festivals. Since the rise of Sundance in the 1980s, the right type of indie film has defined itself by its fringeness–the last holdover of Gen X irony that’s managed to survive in this cultural zeitgeist. Bawling openly is for people who watch The Notebook. But, when Bob Trevino Likes It screened at the Nashville Film Festival last September, the sound of sniffles was louder than the end credits music.
