The Himalayan monarchy of Bhutan isn’t exactly the hub of Asian cinematography. It wasn’t until 2003 that Bhutan had its first homegrown feature film, Travellers and Magicians. Like many a good Buddhist tale, it’s about the journey to self-discovery. In search of a better life, Dondup meets a monk while…
ArtServe is serving up more than its usual batch of canvas-based goods this Sunday. Oh, there’s plenty of that, in the form of Sharon Basile’s collection of tropical and myth-inspired pieces. But the gallery is stepping outside itself, so to speak, for a “Meet the Artist Brunch” at Nature Boy…
For the average photographer, a well-lit setting is as important as fresh batteries. Jeremiah Jenner isn’t the average photographer. For him, the shoot doesn’t start till the lights go down and he’s found a properly dour urban landscape. Neon signs advertising sex and drugs, ramshackle dive bars, and run-down carnivals…
The South Florida Fair is showing some real balls this year … footballs, baseballs, bowling balls, and other objects of the pro sports variety. The interactive exhibit “I’m Having a Ball” is the fair’s newest feature, debuting with more than 800 sports artifacts on display. That’s in addition to more…
Nick DiPaolo might not be the most popular guy at church — but he seems to be the first guy that Comedy Central calls when they need help roasting celebrities. DiPaolo has ridden his snotty attitude from Howard Stern’s airwaves through roasts for Pamela Anderson, Jeff Foxworthy, and Denis Leary,…

The big draw at the Boca Raton Museum of Art right now may be “James McNeill Whistler: Selected Works from the Hunterian Art Gallery, Glasgow, Scotland,” but don’t miss a smaller, less flashy exhibition tucked away on the museum’s second floor in the Walter and Lucille Rubin Gallery. “Milton Avery:…
Hands down the funniest bit from the summer’s raunch smorgasbord The Aristocrats was hearing Sarah Silverman tell the infamously profane family-act joke at the center of Paul Provenza’s documentary. Where Robin Williams, Drew Carey, George Carlin, and a hundred other funny folks were serving up naughty variations in various shades…
“Quadriplegics envy paraplegics. You think, ‘Man, they’ve got it made,'” painter Chuck Close once said about his paralyzed life. Close’s comment was his weigh-in about living a relative existence when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It’s also a reflection that would have been lost on the paralyzed artist portrayed in…
For your Heath Ledger holiday-movie options, you have (a) a cowboy in love with another man and (b) history’s most infamous womanizer. Since the name Casanova is synonymous with an unquenchable thirst for straight sex with women (or at least boasting about it), the role might seem to be a…
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was the quintessential late-19th-century artist. He was born into an aristocratic family, started drawing as a youngster, then moved to Paris and slummed around Montmartre. Of course, he had the requisite tragic flaw: his parents were first cousins (aristocrats of the day often married within the family…
So what your saying is, you want to do a little something to celebrate 2006, the Year of the Dog, properly? Nothing big… maybe try your paw at crafting some dog-inspired New Year’s cards, have your fortune read, learn how to make animal-themed pop-up cards, snack on sticky rice cakes,…
When a magazine calls itself MaximumRocknRoll and covers bands with names like the Crucifucks and the Meatmen, you’d think that its readers would appreciate a little sex, drugs, and free-thinking amid the music reviews. However, ask columnist Mykel Board, and he’ll tell you otherwise. Since Board joined the MRR crew…
What’s it take to get the attention of a fire-breathing, blood-spitting, groupie-humping, Polaroid-collecting rock god? If said rock god is Kiss’ Gene Simmons, you don’t need to be a big-breasted female (though that would help). You just need to know where his funny bone is. It sure worked for comedian…
It’s a cultural happening so prolific that event organizers have to splice it into two seasonal segments. The Las Olas Art Fair transforms Fort Lauderdale’s tony downtown district into a pavilion rife with collectibles every January and again every March. The first installment happens along Las Olas Boulevard, from SE…
When the late Robert Johnson first sired the blues with songs like “They’re Red Hot,” he couldn’t have known the extreme to which his influence would one day be taken by Florida’s own Bill Wharton, a.k.a. “the Sauce Boss.” In Wharton’s world, it’s not just the blues that are red…
John Hammond is just like every other blues musician. He’s happily married, white, and like all blues stars, he’s from New York City. Okay, so he’s nothing like the rest, but Hammond delivers a finger-pickin’ and thumb-slidin’ set that will take the word “stereotypical” out of your vocabulary forever. For…
Billy Joel has been pop music royalty for over 30 years. Since the breakout release of 1974’s “Piano Man,” the singer/songwriter/pianist has climbed the golden ladder of Top 40 success, selling over 100 million albums worldwide and being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999. The…
Bobby Collins’s website boasts that the New York Times called him “the most natural comedian working today.” But there’s no date attributed to that quote. It’s fair to assume that “today” was actually quite a while ago, considering that Collins has toured with Cher, Julio Iglesias, and Tony Bennett; that…
Suresh Atapattu, the education coordinator for the Buehler Planetarium, is excited to tell you that, “The Orion nebula is up in our night sky right now! It’s very important because it’s a stellar nursery. Stars are actually being born out of those gases right now. If you look through a…
