On an otherwise nondescript street in Wynwood, a two-story building seems to be breathing fire in the middle of NW 36 Street between Second and Third Avenues. This is the home of Hell Bound City Tattoo. As soon as you walk in, you quickly realize this isn’t South Beach. When…
We all know that local independent theater usually translates to epic fail. Occasionally, though, we are astounded to find that our $20 didn’t go to waste. And ArtSpoken, a new performing arts venue in Little Havana, really delivers with Ulises Cala’s Los Dictados del Fuego, turning its small stage into…
Florida was America’s film capital until the Puritanical residents of Jacksonville ran those industry heathens out to California in the 1920s. But Miami knows how to treat those denizens of debauchery, which is why they keep coming back to Miami to film movies. In Celluloid City, we spotlight some of…
We could take the easy way out and tell you Los Dictados del Fuego is a play about lesbian nuns set in 1667. That alone might be enough to make you want to see it. Just to clinch the deal, we should also mention the mother superior herself experiences a…

Most people associate open-mike poetry nights with tie-dye, sneaky hits from Pyrex bowls, crusty flip-flops, and the stink of patchouli. But the Bohemia Room at Vlada Lounge is the “Boom Boom Pow” version of those hippie nightmares. Sure, there’ll be some political ranting, but it’ll likely be followed by Marvin…
If you’ve been to a neighborhood pachanga, imbibed lots of refajo, and danced bachata until dawn, you know that Colombians know how to party.

The jury is out on how far we’ve come since the stereotypical portrayal of African-Americans in D. W. Griffith’s controversial 1915 film, The Birth of a Nation, where black legislators lounged around barefoot, guzzled whiskey, and ate fried chicken. Yes, two movies about black teenagers, Precious and The Blind Side,…
