Tucked into a pocket of his workout sweats, Steve Rogers — AKA Captain America, the serum-enhanced Yankee Doodle Dynamo who’s spent the past six decades in deep freeze — keeps a notebook of cultural beats he’s missed: Star Wars, Marvin Gaye, Thai food. (“We used to boil everything,” he mock-groans.)…
Our story resumes: Having found a love-like feeling for Jerôme (Shia LaBeouf), “restful domestic comfort” has, at the outset of Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac: Volume II, robbed the young Joe (Stacy Martin) of her orgasm. Naomi Wolf documented a similar problem in her 2012 book Vagina; the similarities between Joe…
Drake Doremus’ Breathe In is a star-crossed romance where your enjoyment level will depend upon your tolerance for what feels an awful lot like potential statutory rape. A toothsome exchange student named Sophie (Felicity Jones) comes to stay with a well-to-do family in upstate New York, triggering a barely dormant…
Why can’t women stay friends? That’s a trick question, of course, but also one that British actresses Emily Mortimer and Dolly Wells — lifelong pals in real life — attempt to answer earnestly and honestly in their new HBO cringe comedy Doll & Em. In the six-episode series, Mortimer and…
You know how weird, old trends always creep their way back to the surface. Leg warmers? They will never stay away for long. High-waisted shorts are cringe-worthy, and no one seems to care because they are so old that they are automatically hip. Even multimedia is going vintage. Have you…
By the time the clock hits 5 p.m. Friday, most of us are in desperate need of a drink. And hey, three-for-one vodka and sodas will most certainly do the trick, but that’s your weekly routine. Why not change it up? Why not celebrate all areas of the food and…
Walks, 5K’s, fun runs, strolls: They are all a great way to not only help a cause that may be near and dear to you but to be a part of your community and start your day off right in a supportive environment. Often, you only see how these walks…
Ever dreamed of being on the hit CBS show The Amazing Race? Are you a witty trivia guru who loves doing things in the name of a good cause? If so, the Salvation Army is almost making that dream a reality by sponsoring a fundraising event mirroring the concept of…
Fort Lauderdale might be best-recognized for its former glory as a spring-break haven. While we still get our fare share of drunken college students, the city and its residents have graduated to a slightly higher level of sophistication. We’ve left behind the funnels of Natty Light for grown-up craft beer…

Dave Barry may be an anagram for “a very drab,” but don’t expect boredom during his book discussion and Q&A on Tuesday night. Barry, who must be buds with someone at BrowardBulldog.org, will hawk his latest book and take questions from the audience from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Boardroom Communications,…
Entering its 19th year, the Palm Beach International Film Festival will host one of its most anticipated lineups yet, hosting 14 world premieres, eight North American premieres, and eight U.S. premieres. Consisting of feature films, documentaries, and short films that represent the talents of filmmakers, producers, and actors from most…
A play dealing with issues of faith, commitment, and neo-Nazis doesn’t sound like much of a comedy, but audiences have been raving about the laugh-out-loud hilarity found in James Sherman’s play The God of Isaac since it opened in Chicago’s Victory Gardens in 1985. This insightful stage production deals with…
Experience a peep show like no other, but first get your mind out of the gutter — this peep show features marshmallow chick and bunny treats. Traditional Peeps are a decades-old tradition, but who knew they would become a huge art movement? The Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery in Palm…
Third- through eighth-graders at the Florida Intercultural Academy in Davie have been honing the art of arts and crafts in preparation for “Paper,” a new exhibit featuring student work at the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood. The students have taken their talents beyond macaroni art, using paper as a…
The Chicano labor leader César Chávez can now join Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela in the pantheon of heroes whose world-altering achievements are dutifully recounted in timid, lifeless films any substitute can pop into the school DVD player when the regular history teacher is out sick. With César Chávez, Mexican…
“The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” runs the cliché and the rather uninspired starting point for The Lunchbox, a slow-building, pleasingly low-key romantic dramedy set in Mumbai. Making his feature-length debut as writer and director, Ritesh Batra throws some emotional and logistical complications at the premise…
Punk rock and Broadway. The two go together like peanut butter and rattlesnakes, which is to say, they really don’t. Or at least that’s what most people thought until American Idiot took over the St. James Theater in New York City on April 20, 2010. Now, two Tony Awards and…
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s name is only about one-seventh the font size of the title on the poster of Sabotage, formerly Breacher, formerly Ten, his third attempt — after the full-auto western The Last Stand and the goofy Stallone-co-headlined prison-break joint Escape Plan — in 14 months at a post-gubernatorial comeback. A…
To hear Darren Aronofsky tell it, in the interviews he’s given recently to the New York Times Magazine and the New Yorker, there was no way in hell he’d let his special-effects extravaganza Noah, years in the planning, be your run-of-the-mill, candy-ass Biblical epic. The ark built by Russell Crowe’s…
Prison: The perfect place to breed… comedians? That’s the gut-busting truth for Joey Coco Diaz. The Cuban-American comic might bring out the massive crowds in Fort Lauderdale, but it’s not before paying his dues. Normally, the dues-paying comes in the form of playing small clubs and opening for no-names. In…
With an all-star cast, Broadway’s smash hit comedy Vanities, written by Jack Heifner and directed by John J. Castonia, will leave you bellowing until your stomach hurts.
