And so there will be. This Friday, the folks at Island Water Sports will take a break from praying for surf to kick off Daytime Radness, a huge fundraiser, sale, and silent auction now in its third year. In between skate contests and autograph signings, IWS will raffle off tons…
Watch the Florida Panthers battle the Minnesota Wild (0-1-2) in their fourth home game of the season at the BB&T Center in Sunrise on October 19 at 7 p.m. After last year’s NHL lockout and finishing with the lowest points in the league last season, the Panthers (1-2-0) are kickstarting…
October is “Adopt a Shelter Dog Month,” and to celebrate, Pets’ Broward is hosting a family and dog-friendly community event called “Let’s Fetch Their Balls.” There is nothing more satisfying than rescuing a pet. In fact, Channing Tatum could remove all the calories from a chocolate cheesecake and feed the…
In a time when few of our political leaders are worth of hero worship, superheroes continue to thrive. For decades, they have been the subject of the biggest blockbuster movies, the toy of choice for millions of youngsters, and the main characters of some very important (comic) books. Though many…
Got your weekly exercise routine intact? Yeah, we didn’t think so, slacker nation. It definitely takes ample discipline to hit the gym on a regular basis, and avoiding junk food isn’t exactly on many people’s minds nowadays. That’s why it is so admirable to meet the beautifully toned and buff…
Tonight, laugh and scream your way through two parks for a spooky outdoors horror adventure. Hugh Taylor Birch State Park in Fort Lauderdale is the ticket to make your skin crawl as ghouls and critters come out in full force. This family-friendly scare fest includes games, haunted carriage rides, howling…
Horses are high-maintenance: They smell, they poop, they need to be fed. No one has time for that, especially serious polo players. And even for the less serious polo players, bikes are much cheaper than buying a horse anyway. Granted, bike polo won’t replace Ralph Lauren’s emblem anytime soon, and…
Do you have an undying love for Dachshunds? Do you like to dress your Doxie up, teach it new tricks, or are you looking for more to add to your family? Look no further than Dachstoberfest! Despite being a temperamental breed, Dachshunds are a joy for owners to show off…
When it comes to the Caribbean, most people think of reggae, Rastafari, and getting high — and hey, all three are all right in our book; however, you should probably expand your mind, mon. There’s a lot more to the islands than meets the stereotype. Starting on Thursday, the second-annual…
This isn’t L.A., and big-name screenwriters aren’t under every street lamp smoking cigarettes while clad in all-black ensembles. But that doesn’t mean BroCo doesn’t have its own reservoir of untapped film talent waiting to be released to the public. The Adjusted Lens series welcomes the community to Broward College’s South…
Palm Beach island probably doesn’t have an issue with hunger — it’s one of the wealthiest zip codes in South Florida — but the county’s best chef, Clay Conley, is doing his part to help out with a fundraising event for No Kid Hungry on Sunday, October 27, at 6…
What’s illegal at Disneyland? Dogs, drugs, alcohol, pamphlets, flags and large coolers. Not listed? Secretly shooting a feature-length movie. But Disneyland couldn’t have imagined director Randy Moore would have the courage to film Escape From Tomorrow on location — and that it would be so horny. In the black-and-white theme…
There are definitely some geeks out there who are worried about Zero Charisma. Does the movie take a lot of cheap shots, or does it for once accurately show what it’s like to be a geek? Zero Charisma is more of a nuanced character study than a broad comedy, and…
Tom Hanks has built a career out of playing aggressively noble roles, so it’s only natural to want to see him taken down a peg. But it’s no fun to watch him suffer at the hands of Somali pirates in Paul Greengrass’s true-life adventure Captain Phillips. Hanks plays the commander…
During his 2012 presidential campaign, Republican candidate Herman Cain rhapsodized about the fence he’d build on the U.S.-Mexico border: 20 feet tall with barbed wire, electricity, and a moat. “And I would put those alligators in that moat!” he cheered. For Machete Kills, Robert Rodriguez built that fence but left…
Like all kid protagonists in movies, Wadjda’s Wadjda wants one pure thing so much that the very concept of want shades into need. If this plucky Saudi Arabian girl (played by preteen Waad Mohammed) doesn’t get a bicycle, it seems, some fundamental quality of hers might not survive her adolescence…
Interactive dinner theater, as we know it, is something of a Catskillian tradition — tacky, disposable, with a low standard of quality and a lower audience denominator. The takeaway from the Coral Springs Center for the Arts’ Polter-Heist production — the first in its 2013-14 Sherlock’s Dinner Theatre season —…
Something’s seemed different about No. 1 American action hero Bruce Willis lately. His action movie output in recent years has mostly been stunt casting in mediocre sequels (The Expendables 2, G.I. Joe: Retaliation), or supporting roles in little-seen B-movies (Setup, Catch .44, Fire with Fire), as if he’s in a…

The movie follows early-20s filmmaker Max Barbakow as he erects a narrative told through…
In our nearly seasonless South Florida, we miss out on experiencing beautiful fall foliage at the turn of the summer-to-fall season. Though this might be a bummer to many, there’s still hope to celebrate fall fun this Friday during Broward Parks’ Hayride and Campfire Series. The nostalgic evening begins with…
Rarely is one person a worthy actor and comedian. It’s like rappers and athletes: It’s one or the other. And then there is Angel Salazar. Before there was Carlos Mencia and Gabriel Iglesias, he was on a stage with a mic. But the Cuban-American comedian has way more than just…
Do you know what you are eating? Seriously. Do you have any idea what is actually in your food? Neither do we, since our food is allegedly mislabeled. So put down your hamburger and greasy fries and find out this Saturday at World Food Day 2013. Fair warning: The truth…
