More than a view through children’s eyes, the photographs on display as part of Palm Beach Photographic Centre’s “Picture My World” program offer a look at our community — the people and the places. The exhibit is the result of the program’s goal to use photography and digital imaging as…
Night Watch (Fox Searchlight) Every once in a while, Hollywood needs somebody else to steal a genre and totally reimagine it; it keeps old ideas young, like celluloid Botox. Well, Hollywood’s gonna need one big needle to absorb Night Watch, an insane, insanely cool Russian action/horror/sci-fi brew that’s like nothing…

There is no movie more overrated in recent history than Napoleon Dynamite; it’s to cinema what the Doors are to rock ‘n’ roll, a thing blindly and inexplicably championed as though it were a religion above being blasphemed by nonbelievers. And every time someone tries to explain its appeal —…
Given that John Singleton directed the second movie in the Fast and the Furious franchise, it makes a perverse kind of sense that Justin Lin would follow. Just as Singleton did with Boyz N the Hood, young Lin quickly made a name for himself with a powerful breakthrough film that…
Remember what a fun couple Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves were in Speed? Well, forget that. In The Lake House, Warner Bros.’ slow and heavy kickoff to the summer romance season , Bullock and Reeves play the mopiest lovers to hit the big screen since Tony and Maria channeled Romeo…
Things have definitely looked better for the Florida Frenzy and for indoor football in general. Since its freshman game on March 19 against the creatively named upstate team Osceola Football, it’s been 13 long weeks and ten games for the Frenzy, which sits now at a disappointing 4-6 within its…
Think of it as the kind of porn you can enjoy with the whole family. “Botanical Angels” captures 30 sexy orchids, their petals spread, lips inviting fertilization — you’ll even find one that is bearded. Wowza! Whereas you might feel like a debauchee studying the beautifully rendered anatomy in an…
Valley of the Dolls Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (Fox) Behold The Godfather and Godfather Part II of drag-queen cinema — two movies that provide the gateway to a lifetime of wig addiction. The films couldn’t be more different in temperament — the 1967 original is mile-high Hollywood kitsch,…

About 10 minutes into Michael Cuesta’s 12 and Holding, the following thought came to mind: Not afraid to put children in harm’s way. Twenty minutes later, not afraid was replaced with compelled. As he did in L.I.E. , which introduced child molestation into a fetid tale of adolescent obliteration, Cuesta…

There was a time when people moaned whenever Hollywood would remake — and thus suck the life out of — a classic movie. These days, Hollywood just sucks the life out of movies that weren’t that great in the first place. Ah, progress. Well, June 6, 2006, is upon us,…
Like the Grand Ole Opry plopped into a fragrant barn at the county fair, Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion befits its roots in frosty Minnesota soil through its worldview, Buddhist by way of Scandinavia: Life is about suffering. The wind chill is below zero and so is your spouse;…
In the catalog for “metro pictures,” now at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in North Miami and the Moore Space in Miami’s Design District, curator Silvia Karman Cubiña sums up the two-part show as “snapshots of the city” and says it brings together 29 artists “whose works define, interpret…
The John Wayne/John Ford (Warner Bros.) Featuring the most epic pairing of director and actor in Hollywood history, this 10-disc box spews machismo all over. Wayne and Ford defined not only the western and war-movie genres, but also our culture’s image of rugged manhood. Among the highlights is Stagecoach (the…

Let’s trade, action fans. Give up all 126 minutes of Mission: Impossible III’s digitized bloat and torture games, along with Poseidon’s more modest — yet somehow more numbing — 99 minutes in a computer-generated rain barrel. In exchange, you get roughly 1.7 seconds of a movie you’ve never heard of…

Manufacturing #17, Deda Chicken Processing Plant, Dehui City, Jilin Province, 2005 is not, as far as titles go, a memorable or creative one. But it is apropos for the image, which depicts hundreds, possibly thousands, of nearly identically clad, masked workers in pink scrubs and blue aprons as they do…
In South Florida, you can’t get far without running into a mega-chain store. Wal-Mart and Burger King have taken over the foods we eat and the clothes we wear, but the problem doesn’t stop there – even mega-nightclubs have moved into town, a.k.a. Scores and Coyote Ugly. Is this a…
