To walk into the Boca Museum’s Federico Uribe installation is to walk into a tropical forest filled with ideas as well as plants and animals. Uribe may not be the first “green” artist, but he is certainly one of the most original. His jungle is populated with plants and animals…
Italian cinema? All you need to know about it you can learn from the ’80s classic Cinema Paradiso. The rich sit in balconies and spit on the lower classes, affairs are consummated in the darker corners of the theater, priests keep all the raunchy scenes to themselves, and, of course,…
One of the pleasures of living in South Florida is that we’re a diversified people, so absorb how awesome it is that the money gained from this festival is dedicated to youth stilt dancers. In Florida, we really like to celebrate — as do the Caribbeans. Expect upward of 3,000…
Do something entirely outside of tradition, yet still throw a gentle nod Oktoberfest’s way. Saturday, Grapevine Juice will host ARToberfest, a night of art, music, raffles, food, and drink at Speakeasy Lounge — this won’t be a local bar’s bastardized version of the main Munich event. Ten artisans — including…
Having a dog is a lot like having a kid. Both are completely dependent on you, you probably take both of them to their respective doctors far more often than you visit your own, and you feel guilty when you leave them home alone to go out drinking. Well, now…
Scoff at a corporate coffee establishment, sure. Get the caffeine fix and move on, or, yeah, work in there — it has the equivalent coldness of a cubicle, in a building one step up from a warehouse. Work in the new Undergrounds Coffeehaus (just moved) if you crave a little…
The tikis are coming! The tikis are coming! They will all be at Kreepy Tiki Tattoo and Monterey Club, when the dashing twosome hosts the finest rockabilly event South Florida has probably ever seen. Revenge of the Tiki III kicks off at 2 p.m. Saturday, when the first musical acts…
From their outrageous outfits to their breakneck speeds and ‘bow-throwing bravado, the Gold Coast Derby Grrls could easily scare the crap out of you. If that’s the case, then the weak-hearted among you would be advised to skip this special Halloween-themed matchup with the Gold Coast Derby Grrls, currently ranked…
Sun Life Stadium hosts soccer, the world’s game, on Saturday night. But Sunday, it’s uniquely Caribbean soca that will be pumping throughout the stadium and even along the streets of Miami Gardens. It’s that time again, folks, when Broward and Miami-Dade come together to sheepishly ogle a long procession of…
A fresh crop of drag queens and kings are hitting the scene in Wilton Manors in search of a throne. For ten weeks, they’ve been in drag boot camp, honing their struts (and tucks?) and primping under the intense tutelage of Twat LaRouge, a fierce, bald, Ursula-like figure, and Chocolatta,…
A woman needs to take care of her body, her breasts especially. They want to be taken care of, felt. They need a checkup, and October is a good month to do so, you know, because it’s Breast Awareness Month. Is there a more suitable place to put the tits…
There is certainly no shortage of ghoulishly themed entertainment in October, but the Coconut Creek Casino (5550 NW 40th St., Coconut Creek) is making a seriously frightening attempt to scare you into deading it up there all month long. In addition to a different harrowing Halloween event every weekend, the…
The good news, thanks to the tradition of exacting standards established by the South Florida Cultural Consortium, is that the work included in this year’s exhibition is of a uniformly high standard. No slackers here. The bad news is that it’s difficult to find a theme or common thread among…
Before the play even begins, the first thing you notice are the lights. They’re everywhere: chicly mounted in foyer walls, hung from the ceiling, and positioned in wall sconces, table lamps, and floor lamps, all of them poised to illuminate the immaculate IKEA set. But when Side Effects does begin…
The good news, thanks to the tradition of exacting standards established by the South Florida Cultural Consortium, is that the work included in this year’s exhibition is of a uniformly high standard. No slackers here. The bad news is that it’s difficult to find a theme or common thread among…
A single scene captures the tricky tonal balance of Jonathan Levine’s cancer comedy 50/50. Adam, the straightedge radio producer played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, has just finished his first round of chemotherapy. It was tough, but the kindly gents IV’d next to him (Philip Baker Hall and Matt Frewer) made it…
No one grieves onscreen quite like Charlotte Gainsbourg, here playing Dawn, made a widow within the first ten minutes of The Tree. When not sobbing or sleeping, she expends her depleted energy wrangling her four kids, ranging from toddler to teenager, who scamper around their stilt-built house in Boonah, a…
Lady Gaga might not do it for you. But give her a pompadour, sideburns, and a dirty white T as her butch alter ego Jo Calderone and that’s the stuff that haunts your wet dreams, no? Same here. Thursday, all preconceived notions of gender stereotypes go out the window as…
The song of the modern-day siren is equally beautiful and seductive as it was in Homer’s Odyssey but not so explicitly deadly, which is nice. For some reason back then, these gals got a kick out of using their seductive voices to lure sailors toward the rocky shores of their…
Did you know that FIU has a beer lab? Yeah. What cool scientists are named B.R.E.W. FIU? The Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism Management brews craft beers, teaching their students — yes, educating them — on exotic beer flavors. They live in a beer world, and we get to…
The South Florida DIY scene is throwing a party, so throw your cookie-cutter duds from the mall into the trash. At Stitch Rock’s Annual Indie Craft Show, all your favorite local crafters and artists will be vending. Stop by the Nevermay booth and peruse May Stafford’s repurposed fashions: funky tops…
How to prepare you without scaring you off — that is the question. Think of Key West’s Fantasy Fest, where tons of folks are half-naked, drinking, having a merry time. There, everything goes. You sign up to see some skin, to see some wild activity, people all over one another…
