Although October may usher in the horrors and haunts of Halloween, what lies ahead is far more bloodcurdling. Yes, the holidays are just two months away. Lucky for you, there’s an opportunity to ditch the annual gift-card exchange and find some one-of-a-kind gifts at Sunday’s Indie Craft Bazaar: Paranormal Craftivity…
In their experimental new film, Metallica endeavor to translate the anger and pain in their music into a visual medium. Directed by Nimród Antalis, Metallica Through the Neveris the band’s second big-screen effort, the first being being the 2004 behind-the-scenes documentary Metallica: Some Kind of Monster. That debut, created by…

These concepts are reflected in Francesco Lo Castro’s latest work, his “Geometry” series — and they’re a long way from the lowbrow style that initially catapulted him to art-world fame. These days, 37-year-old Lo Castro is combining ’80s nostalgia and Miami-esque pastel…
It’s 1976, a year when all the groovy girls are traipsing around in tiny suede skirts and all the cool guys have Badfinger hair. One of those guys was English racing driver James Hunt, the charismatic rapscallion who won that year’s Formula One World Championship — the embroidered badge on…
The last time the men in Metallica made a documentary, they let the cameras into their therapy sessions, their private lives, their struggles with their families. It wasn’t good for their image, but it made for a compelling film. This time, they reverse tactics. In Metallica: Through the Never, the…
Kids are assholes, or at least cartoons think so. Animation has inked a grand tradition of cruelty, from Wile E. Coyote’s countless failed firebombings to modern-day kiddie cash-grabs where the most common punchline is a fall or a fart. Can’t we all just get along? In Cody Cameron and Kris…
To paraphrase the Bee Gees, Joseph Gordon-Levitt should be dancing. He’s already done it in (500) Days of Summer, where he led an exuberant ensemble routine that out-Dr Peppered any Dr Pepper commercial. Then there was his smashing Saturday Night Live re-creation of Donald O’Connor’s “Make ‘Em Laugh” — like…
Mild spoilers up to The Bridge’s ninth episode below. Artisanal murders are all the rage these days. On Showtime’s Dexter, NBC’s Hannibal, and Fox’s The Following, small-batch, labor-intensive, sold-with-a-story slaughters have become TV’s equivalent of the Cronut. Handsome, intelligent, and mannered as court eunuchs, serial killers have become the new…

Most South Floridians have had a dangerous — and highly intoxicated – experience on the notorious bus loop. That’s great when you’re 21 and all, but if you’ve passed that mark by a few years, there’s probably a good chance you — and your insides — just can’t hang anymore…
A band of self-proclaimed “bicycle weirdoes” is on the loose in Fort Lauderdale. You may have spotted them riding around downtown on weeknights sporting decked-out rides and spunky helmets with spikes. RiSKi Action Coalition — as they call themselves when being serious — care about more than mere amusement; they…
Let’s face it: Savoring the rich complexities and fine nuances of small-batch beers is spiritual. Taste buds worship each flavor as it washes the palate with hints of coconut, spice, and whatever creative concoction the brew master conjured up. And there is nothing quite like enjoying good beer while seated…
Jimmy Buffett should be the patron saint of old Florida. His music and serious alcohol consumption bring back memories — or at least spur the imagination — of days sitting around drinking margaritas with friends while sitting out on the sand overlooking the water with goofy tropical-inspired tunes playing away…

Scientific fact: Everyone likes free stuff. You love getting hooked up with a drink at the bar, and your grandmother loves shoving the dinner rolls in her purse. How about something we can all agree on? Free art! Just like the Smithsonian Museum in D.C., the organization has made a…
The Lake Worth scene is one all its own. The small, hyper-artsy community takes artistic freedom seriously in every possible medium. Whether you specialize in playing music, making art, or sitting back and watching either, Lake Worth is a town you will frequent. But one upcoming local event is putting…
During this time of year, the smells of wurst, beer, and sweaty dancing fräuleins make their way across the pond and activate South Floridians into a full party mode called Oktoberfest. From now until the end of October, Broward is engulfed in Oktoberfest hysteria. Don’t be surprised when you start…
It’s hard to find a spirit more tropical — or indicative of South Florida, at least — than rum. Feel free to go ahead and drink some. On Friday, October 4, from 6 to 9 p.m., Don Ramon Restaurant is going to help you in your rum-drinking journey with a…
If one were to pick a meal that best exemplifies the principles of the slow food movement, it would be brunch. Think about it: You’re not going to grab a quick brunch; it’s a long, drawn-out affair. On Sunday, October 6, at noon, Valentino Cucina Italiana is pairing up with…
