Throughout history, many great men have offered profound words of wisdom. Ron Burgundy is one of those men. “The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show and see if she likes the goods,” he said. Follow his advice this weekend…

Dates can cause all sorts of anxiety. It’s easy for the voices in your head to spiral out of control. “Is the conversation going to be interesting? What if we like each other? What if we hate each other? What am I going to wear?” Although we can’t help you…

This past June, City Theatre’s annual Miami production of “Summer Shorts” — a festival of short-form plays — was certifiably nuts. The shows were weirder than David Lynch’s Twitter feed. There were works about former B-movie baddie Mothra, bickering dolphins on a subway train, a nail-filing vampire, a wing-growing adolescent,…
Delicacy of touch isn’t a particularly valued commodity among American filmmakers. We like pioneer swagger in our directors; particularly in the age of the blockbuster, open-ended questions and eyelash-fringe feelings are suspect.

How would those Bronze Age storytellers who shaped and handed down the myths of Ancient Greece fare in a modern screenwriting seminar? All that elusive, improvisatory strangeness, that alien sense of causality, that emphasis on origins, not just of franchisable characters but of everything in the natural world, right down…
You can guess the plot of Disney’s Planes — it’s just Cars 2 with wings, an international romp that pits a humble country bumpkin against a fleet of literally jet-setting competitors in a race around the world. With pit stops in four continents, more cultural stereotypes than the Eurovision song…
Movie stars shouldn’t be subject to the rules of gravity, as we mere mortals are. One of the great pleasures of watching actors is to see them move, and when yesterday’s youngsters start creaking, we feel it in our joints. That’s not to say actors can’t age gracefully, or that…
Miami is one of the most famous cities in the world, and rightfully so. The metropolis is well-known for a number of specialties. But coming up Thursday is an event that will focus on one of Miami’s greatest culture offerings. No, it’s not the Cuban sandwich. And no, it’s not…
