“I was still in Africa taking pictures and writing articles and sending them back, but money was always a problem. At one point, in order to raise funds, I spent several months hunting crocodiles along the Zambezi River — the idea being that this was a way to earn money…
FRI 10/17 Food. Sex. The connection is undeniable. Two great tastes that taste great together. Anybody who loves food, whether it be eating it, cooking it, or concocting fantasies involving it, should hightail it to the Harriet Himmel Gilman Theater (CityPlace, 700 S. Rosemary Ave., West Palm Beach) for the…

THU 10/16 As if being in school five days a week isn’t enough, the West Boynton Park and Recreation Center (6000 Northtree Blvd., Lake Worth) offers more classes than you can shake a half-eaten crayon at. As part of its Fall Program, the center has lined up the following events:…
SAT 10/18 Everyone’s got his own way of finding release after a long week’s work. Most of the time, it comes in 12-ounce bottles. However, getting wasted every week won’t always cut it. Sometimes you need to refresh your senses, not totally and utterly annihilate them. That’s why there are…
WED 10/22 Let’s take a gander at some of the lyrics from Strike Anywhere’s new CD, Exit English. On “Modern Life,” singer Thomas Barnett screams: “I can’t see a thing when my eyes are wide open/Under the millennium’s shadow hear the rain of justice.” On “In the Fingernails,” he sings:…
Watching Hollywood’s endless stream of John Grisham adaptations — The Firm, The Chamber, A Time to Kill, etc. — it would be easy to assume that Grisham is the worst sort of hack writer, with simplistic morals that usually overwhelm logic and come close to contravening the very law the…
Did you hear the one about the talking dog? Well, of course you did. If you’ve ever been to the movies or watched television, then you know that our otherwise silent four-legged friends almost invariably come to verbal life when the cameras roll. We’ve had horses (Mr. Ed), mules (Francis),…
The Actors Playhouse has a serious personality conflict. The Coral Gables company is known as a purveyor of cheerful lightweight entertainment that’s rather like the upscale chain restaurants that are sprouting near its Miracle Mile location: The fare is uncomplicated and consistent, no challenges and no surprises. AP has had…
If you’re a regular or even occasional visitor to the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood (and if you’re not, you should be), you’ll probably sense immediately that something is a bit off when you enter the lobby these days. That’s because the glass panes on the old-fashioned doors leading…
With a name that immediately strikes curiosity and perhaps deserves a good-natured chuckle, Los Angelinos Kittens for Christian may sound like some sort of teen dance band or a German-rock rip-off. But once the novelty of its moniker wears off, the three-piece band’s no-frills, no-wave style on its major-label debut,…
Stephanie Adams went to Catholic school — all-girl Catholic school — for more than 13 years. Then, she posed for the glossy pages of Playboy. Right now, if you’re a straight male over 15 years of age, you are probably already concocting an elaborate fantasy involving softly lit underage schoolgirls…
THU 10/9 The Fyrplace Gallery (131 N. M St., Lake Worth) continues its traditional conceit of inserting a y for every i as it presents its latest event: Author Spotlyght. In this first evening of the new series, held from 8 to 10 p.m., participants take a close look at…
THU 10/9 Hockey season is finally here. That’s right, after months and months of off-season, and roughly three weeks of tune-up games, the Panthers are ready to open the 2003-04 campaign against the Carolina Hurricanes at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Office Depot Center (1 Panthers Pkwy., Sunrise). The 2002…
SAT 10/11 A few hundred years ago, after the Renaissance but before the smog, artists were still nailing down important concepts such as the effect of multiple perspectives or the effect of light on a given subject. For a lot of big names in the art world of the 17th…
TUE 10/14 Rock ‘n’ roll shows are not typically interactive events. There are those folks who stand like beer-imbibing mannequins far enough from the stage that they don’t look interested. There’s always That Guy who likes to invade everyone’s unspoken personal space while perfecting the Drunk Sway, eliciting glares from…
t’s beginning to look as though the films of George Clooney are less the works of fiction than the products of documentary crews following around the actor leading his enviable life. In film after film, he’s seen dining with beautiful actresses in gorgeous surroundings perfectly lit for an evening’s seduction:…
he opening credits insist that Kill Bill: Volume 1 is “Quentin Tarantino’s 4th film,” when it’s actually his 3.5th; it’s too incomplete to be measured as a whole, half a movie waiting for a proper ending due to arrive in the next volume in February. Till then, we’ll have to…
Talk about counterprogramming. South Florida playgoers tired of lightweight modern plays and musicals can find some heavy — really heavy — drama at the New Theatre in Coral Gables. The tiny troupe often takes on gargantuan projects, and its latest, Long Day’s Journey into Night, is a monster. This three-hour-long…
SAT 10/11 If you’re like most loyal dog owners, the worst part of your day is ditching the pooch back at the homestead while you go out to work or play. Dogs, if they could talk, would rail against the segregated conditions they must face every day. But while you…
SAT 10/11 South Floridians may not know autumn by the chill in the air or the changing of the leaves, but the All Hallows Eve festivities are a sure sign that it has arrived once again. Whether you “trick” or “treat,” the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Health Fair on Saturday…
Pictures are coming in from Iran that Paul Wolfowitz is not going to like. They are not beaming live on CNN or revealing covert uranium reprocessing plants. No fundamentalist hordes shown feasting on the carcasses of freshly slain camels. Instead of the harsh images of the current escalation of tensions,…
