Theater Review | ‘Desert Films’ at the David Lynch Film Festival in Ojai
In celebration of filmmaker David Lynch’s canon of titillating, surrealistic mysteries, the historic Ojai Playhouse screened a mini-film festival of the director’s best work over the MLK weekend. Along with films like Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, and Lost Highway, the event also offered a new theatrical work, a pleasantly bizarre one-act based on the Lynchian style and aesthetic. Titled Desert Films (written by James Franco, directed by Franco and Peter Gold, and starring Franco and Blaine Kern III), the play is an unexpected tarantella of offbeat intensity and peculiar comedy.

In Santa Ynez Wine Country, the Best Tacos Can Be Found on the Highway
In our Dining Reports, we share a firsthand perspective of a recent restaurant visit, covering everything from the vibe to must-get dishes. See more in the Eater app. The Santa Ynez Valley is Southern California’s preeminent wine country, a stretch of manicured vineyards and oak-dotted hills that unfurls as you descend Highway 154 over San Marcos Pass from Santa Barbara. The bucolic serenity draws a sharp contrast from the asphalt metropoleis to the south, and, in recent years, the valley has also become a culinary destination. Many of the celebrated restaurants in the area are designed to serve affluent travelers and the winery owners who love them, but for casual Mexican antojitos there is one stellar choice for smoky grilled meats, citrusy al pastor, and fresh corn and flour tortillas — the gleaming roadside Airstream of Highway Tacos.
