Observations on everything “from religion to junk food” are what you can expect from this actor-turned-comedian hailing from New York. Keith Anthony’s act is an intelligent look at life, developed over years of working random jobs before arriving at stand-up comedy. Anthony got into the laughs biz when a friend…
When Blues Brothers 2000 hit the theaters in 1998, some die-hard fans feared that the late John Belushi (a.k.a., Jake Blues) would be replaced by his brother, Jim. But then John Goodman stepped in to play a different character and the issue was sidestepped. The Brothers’ most recent incarnation does…
So the name of the movie is Guys and Balls, eh? What, is it about a gay soccer team or something? Um, actually… yeah, it is. And the title’s double entendre is wholly intended, as is the subtle snickering it invites. This is, after all, a romantic comedy (and a…
The only mission that might be impossible is reminding the world that, before he was the proud papa of a gurgling little TomKitten, Tom Cruise was a respectable actor. And he has a movie coming out this week. Yes, before he jumped the couch, Cruise played a bad-guy-womping secret agent…
The Darwinian theory that schlocksploitation must tighten its twist of the nuts with each new release will be tested strenuously for years — or at least several weeks — by Hard Candy. A pointedly s(l)ick cross between Oleanna and I Spit on Your Grave, thrown like raw meat to Lions…
United 93 — which uses the hijacking of one plane on September 11, 2001, to tell the story of what happened to all four aircraft seized that morning — may be the most wrenching, profound, and perfectly made movie nobody wants to see. There is no reason to think that…
Every year, when ESPN broadcasts the Scripps National Spelling Bee, a tiny flutter of hope rises in anyone who cherishes the life of the mind. Spelling is a sport? Sweet Jesus! For the duration of the competition, the brainy kid who gets his glasses stomped by knuckle-draggers on the playground…
On my most recent visit to the Coral Springs Museum of Art, Executive Director Barbara O’Keefe mentioned that the museum’s current exhibitions, “Collecting Dali” and “Dali on Tour,” which opened in March, had proved to be consistently popular. She seemed surprised. I wasn’t. Critical opinion of the flamboyant Spaniard fluctuated…
Like a flashback, “Elliot Landy’s Woodstock Vision: The Spirit of a Generation” captures photographic images of a rock ‘n’ roll era before the profession was a commercially viable one, let alone a glamorous one. As a result, Landy’s work reflects virtually unlimited photographic access to many musical icons of the…
Aeon Flux (Paramount) Many things about this surreal sci-fi flick defy explanation, but nothing more so than the mystery of how it got made in the first place. On paper, it’s an archetypal setup for a bomb: a mostly forgotten cartoon, notable for its visual style and incomprehensibility, revived as…

It’s an accepted rule of live performance: Don’t wear-out your welcome; always leave the audience hungry for more. But in the case of Midwestern punk legends the Zero Boys, that credo defined the band’s recorded legacy. One EP (1980’s Livin’ in the ´80s) and one full-length (1982’s Vicious Circle) was…
There are many paths to sexual repression, and not all of them are paved by religious puritans. The rejection of worldly pleasure is an idea just as likely to be held by a teenage philosophy student as a gray-locked rabbi. But as Karin Albou’s suggests in her film, La Petite…
:If you’re not sold on the idea of male belly dancers, that’s OK. But if you’re not charmed out of your senses by the belly-dance duo Desert Sin, you must be lacking a pulse. And for those who are titillated by exotic acts of tummy-tumbling, the annual Spirit of the…
Photographer Elliot Landy lives in Woodstock, New York. And yes, he was there on that historic day in 1969 when his town’s name became synonymous with the hippie generation. So maybe, just maybe, Landy has a shot or two of Bob Dylan or Janis Joplin rockin’ the stage. But for…
An orange is orange. Period. Anyone who says otherwise is insane, pure and simple… or, perhaps, from a different culture. In Joe Penhall’s play, Blue/Orange, the question of cultural relativity versus mental illness erupts into a power struggle at a London psychiatric hospital. Christopher, a black patient thought bonkers for…
It’s somewhat clichéd to say that comedian/actress Mo’Nique is large and in charge… but damn if it ain’t true. Like most standup comedians, Mo’Nique has made her rounds on the little and big screens in the past seven years, starting out on the somewhat popular TV series The Parkers, which…
What makes the Paris Hiltons and Lindsay Lohans of the world more glamorous than the average Joe isn’t that they’re rich, famous, and better looking than you – it’s the fact that while you’re sipping a watered-down, ten-dollar rum and Coke with the rest of the peons, they’re laughing it…
Every good metal band needs a symbol to sport – something that’ll look keen on a T-shirt, lunchbox, or anything else on sale at Hot Topic. Led Zeppelin had its trademark Zoso. Slayer has made good use of the satanic pentagram. And now, Finland’s self-proclaimed “love metal” group HIM has…
A half-circle of fast-stepping folk dancers, a guy playing a sopilka, and lots of sashes, boots, and baggy trousers — goodness, it’s A Ukrainian Montage… and it’s coming this Sunday to the Broward Center for the Performing Arts (201 SW Fifth Ave., Fort Lauderdale). Joined by a cadre of vocalists…
