Wine geeks claim the nectar of the gods is representative of the human condition. A little too much rain and you’re left with rot; too much sun, on the other hand, and you’re stuck with a burnt, dried-up raisin; it’s all about finding the right balance between planting the right…
An artist sees the world beyond the simplicity of nature, but sometimes the simplicity in nature is what principally draws the artist to create. The world is one’s oyster, except, for the artist, it is the paint for one’s canvas. Join members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities…
Since the Beatles first appeared on American TV 50 years ago, tribute bands all over the country have tried to replicate the British rock band’s legendary hits. But between bad wigs and even worse Liverpudlian pseudo-accents, most artists just can’t pull it off. The Fab Faux is not one of…
Running for a good cause makes us feel great, but its impact on participants depends on whether they have been affected by the focus of the fundraiser. Addressing the likelihood of a child having a congenital heart problem, Tour de Broward is being sponsored by the Cardiac Center at Joe…
What do football and the future have in common? Much more than just an excuse to shove guacamole in your face. Syd Kitson used to be in the NFL, putting in years with the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys. Now, he’s taking one step to change the world. Kitson…

Sushi has become the go-to food for those looking to keep it light when dining out of the house. The only problem: It’s freaking expensive. Learn to do-it-yourself at Publix Aprons Cooking School on Monday, March 3, at 6 p.m. The hands-on class will explore a number of exotic maki…

What do you choose to keep private? These days, it seems all you need is a device and a password for the opportunity to share your deepest or most mundane thoughts with the world. But while we have chosen to make privacy a fleeting concept, embraced only by those who…
We’ve entered an age in which people have no idea how old they are. Fifty-year-olds lament “I still feel 30 in my mind” and sometimes dress like it. Some 30-year-olds may cling to the destructive habits of their 20s, but plenty more march dutifully into full-on family- and career-building mode,…
Goodbye, Facebook. Goodbye, iPhone. Hello, Saint Vladimir’s,” dropout Rose Hathaway (Zoey Deutch) groans when she and her best friend, Lissa (Lucy Fry), are dragged back to the titular school they ditched when they ran away to live normalish lives in Portland. Despite their year outside the gates, human culture remains…
Each year when Comedy Central announces a new roast, everyone has two questions on his or her mind: (1) Who will the target be? And: (2) What will Jeffrey Ross do? Now dubbed the “Roastmaster General,” Ross has made a living out of tearing people to shreds. He killed so…
Congratulations, Detroit. In 1987, Paul Verhoeven’s RoboCop cemented it as the most violent city in the world, an honor the Motor City resented for decades until its powers that be realized they may as well erect a statue of Peter Weller and milk the tourism. Twenty-seven years later, the attention…
The big news out of the Berlin Film Festival was that Shia LaBeouf, here to promote Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac: Volume 1, behaved like an ass on the red carpet at the movie’s premiere last night. He showed up in a proper tuxedo, but also with a paper bag over…
Though it’s difficult to pinpoint the typical Berlin Film Festival film, I’ve attended the festival enough times to attest that most pictures in the competition lean toward the somber end of the scale: You’re more likely to see a drama about immigrants in tough circumstances or children left to fend…
The endless love in question unfolds in that universe where shy, bookish teenage girls are always catalog-model beautiful, not a pimple in sight or a pound overweight, not a garment from Hot Topic darkening their closets. The movie tells us that 17-year-old Jade Butterfield (Gabriella Wilde) is “awkward” and has…
Director José Padilha’s long-delayed RoboCop reboot has arrived, and it’s neither an unalloyed (see what I did there?) triumph nor the travesty that partisans of Paul Verhoeven’s subversive Reagan-era classic had feared. At least, and at most, it’s different, taking bold liberties with the original text, as remakes should. One…
Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, both of which publish special daily issues at the major international festivals, may be the most famous movie trade magazines. But every morning at any of these festivals, including Berlin, most critics I know – and probably plenty of industry people, too – turn to…
Ah, Valentine’s: The one day of the year you are obliged to show the person you’re with (whether short- or long-term) how much you care. If you fail to do so, you’re going to be facing a major problem. Prepare yourself. NOW! • Puppy Love: There’s no better way to…
