Look! Up in the sky — there’s a giant, jelly-like blob heading toward you! Run! No, wait, it’s just a movie projection in the middle of Wynwood. That blob you see is just the 1958 movie The Blob, which is a part of Halloween Nights at the Blue Starlite Drive-In…

Sometimes, we’re short on dough. Hey, there’s no shame, it happens to the best of us — especially if you happen to be a “non-essential” government employee at the moment. And though some might be a little shy to reach out to family and friends to throw us a bone…
Darkness creeps up on you while you’re standing in the middle of a field, and all you can see is an old farmhouse and windmill. Is there enough time to make it there before they find you? Before you can turn to run, the walking dead are upon you, bloody-faced,…
Have you been thinking of some new and creative date-night ideas to spice up the love? Going to the cineplex is so passé, but heading to the drive-in is too expensive. What you need is a combination of the two. Lucky for you, the New World Center and Miami Beach…

The program lineup includes…

Miami is a vibrant city. It might even be described as colorful. And come November, it’s about to get drenched in color – literally. What originated in India as part of a Hindu tradition has inspired a festival of colors, which brings together people, music, and entertainment: the Holi One…
YouTube: a place where anyone can rise to fame within 15 minutes, and those fortunate (or hilariously unfortunate) few remain in our hearts and minds forever in the form of a viral video. In a pre-twerking age, those viral videos would remain a shared inside joke between yourself and your…
