Steve Coogan is at a fancy dinner, but he’s not doing any Michael Caine impressions. Instead, he’s brooding with resentment of his workaholic congressman brother, Stan (Richard Gere), and grappling with the realization that his son might be a psychopath. It’s all supposed to be harrowing, and the British comedian...

In the courtyard of an oddly palatial, Spanish-style ophthalmology office in Palm Springs, Florida, a man in an open-front vest and gray face paint stands on the edge of a gurgling water fountain. Suddenly, he swings a roundhouse kick at an older man in a bowler hat and a long...
Big things are happening in nerdom. Game of Thrones is back, we have a new lady Doctor, and Spider-Man: Homecoming has redeemed a character whose recent big-screen outings had put the franchise in more peril than Gwen Stacy’s neck.
You know the drill: It's New Year's resolution time, so put on your big-boy pants and put your energy toward accomplishing something you feel will result in a better version of you this time next year. Every late December, people pinpoint something they feel they can improve about themselves, but...
A red door is, biblically speaking, a sign of protection, an echo of the blood rubbed on posts and lintels during Passover to keep God from smiting you and your home. But like most things that the Bible insists are positive, the red door also comes with an undercurrent of...
Santiago Perez grabs for the carabiner, but it slips from his frostbitten fingers. His glove liners are worn away, so ice crystals form on his skin. Fearing he might lose digits, he tries to flex his hand inside the cavity of an unwieldy mitten, but it merely twitches. Nothing can...

At her home in the tiny village of Palm Springs, just outside Lake Worth, Anna Mae Kiger started each morning the same way. After rising around 7, she walked down the driveway to pick up her newspaper. Then the 75-year-old Air Force veteran hoisted an American flag high up a...
The 2017 Cannes Film Festival wrapped up last Sunday with a slate of generally predictable (and perfectly worthwhile) awards. And while it may have been a somewhat lackluster year for the festival’s main competition, there were plenty of cinematic treasures to be found on the Croisette – even a couple...
Lake Worth’s Everymen is a difficult band to pin down. Their sound is an amalgamation of attitudes and instruments that can best be described as "folk-punk" but that transcends both of those genres. It’s a sound they’ve tirelessly shared on tour with the rest of the nation, and even Europe, for years.
So. Last night was fun! We learned that our calculations were off and America, in fact, contains more racist white people than were previously accounted for. Also Florida, the one state that has the most to lose as a result of climate change, saw fit to elect...
A culture of misogyny and macho bullying at Magic Leap, a high-profile, billion-dollar virtual-reality startup based in Broward, has put the company behind schedule on its launch date, according to a new lawsuit.
Nasty, brutish and not short enough, Ben Wheatley’s Free Fire has a simple — and ultimately simpleminded — premise: to protract what would normally be a brief shoot-out scene to the majority of the movie’s 90-minute running time. On the surface, this reductio ad absurdum has a kind of pleasing...

It wasn't an April Fool's joke, but it felt like it for hundreds of people who spent Saturday, April 1, at the Fort Lauderdale Pizza Festival. The inaugural event, which took place at the city's War Memorial Auditorium, was successful in drawing a large and eager crowd, many of whom stood in line for hours without receiving any food or drinks. In reaction, dozens of attendees swarmed the festival's Facebook page Sunday to report their experience. Numerous public posts to the page, including some pictured below, have since been deleted.
It was a big year for 3030 Ocean in Fort Lauderdale. Last October marked not just an all-new look compliments of a complete renovation transformation of the Marriott's iconic flagship restaurant; it also marks the first year since Chopped champion Adrienne Grenier took over the kitchen as executive chef. In...
Since the early '90s, South Florida has been a hotbed for DJs and electronic music. Hip-hop and rock are, arguably, tied for second place in the region's musical popularity contest. But the politically bluer part of the Sunshine State is also home to an overwhelming number of country music fans...
Donald Trump repeatedly declares that this election has been "rigged" against him and, at Wednesday's debate, announced that he'd leave the country "in suspense" on whether he would accept its outcome on November 8. Yesterday he said he would only accept the results "if I win." Now the Guardian reports...
When you’re the son of a famous father, it’s all but inevitable that comparisons will be drawn between you and your dad. And when your name is Guthrie — as in Woody Guthrie, the iconic folk singer — certain expectations inevitably follow. Arlo Guthrie has built a formidable career filled with classic albums, but the turmoil that’s gripping the nation inevitably prompts questions about what his pops would do.
Following a tragic 2016, Surfer Blood's John Paul Pitts is learning to chill out. For many people in the United States, 2016 was a shit year. For John Paul Pitts, frontman and vocalist of Surfer Blood, it was an especially rough 12 months. Last May, founding band member and guitarist...

If civilization were to end tomorrow — and who the hell knows, it just might — we could learn a lot about building the next one from the films of Hirokazu Kore-eda. Back in 1998, the Japanese director had his U.S. breakthrough with the wildly acclaimed After Life. Since then,...
Mira Nair’s Queen of Katwe is a true-life tale transformed into an inspirational fable. That’s not novel for the movies, but in this director’s hands, the results are mostly enchanting. The film follows Phiona Mutesi (Madina Nalwanga), an impoverished Ugandan girl who became a chess champion at the age of...
You won't hurt Judy Czerenda's feelings if you tell her the veggie burger she serves tastes exactly like a McDonald's cheeseburger. "It's not at all offensive," says Czerenda, who runs the two-month-old Now Burger booth at the Yellow Green Farmers Market. "There's a reason McDonald's is one of the biggest restaurant chains in the country. They spent millions to create their burger, and if mine tastes just as good without any bad ingredients, it's not disparaging. It's great."
Of all the dishes on the menu at celebrity chef Geoffrey Zakarian's new restaurant, Point Royal, the lobster roll is the item worthiest of a trip to the strip of A1A where Hollywood meets Hallandale Beach. There's no chopped or minced meat here. A whole Maine lobster is steamed until...
