Not everyone regrets getting a film degree. Not everyone sits behind a computer every day doing “blog-journalism” thinking maybe he should have gone with his instinct and gotten a journalism degree.

The film itself certainly doesn’t aspire to anything more. A brightly colored yet cheap-looking affair (director Peter Chelsom doesn’t even try to push beyond the material’s TV roots), the…

First your doctor told you to stay away from their 500-calorie Frappuccinos, saying that they were the reason for your new muffin top. Then finance guru Suze Orman got on the Starbucks bashin’ bandwagon and told you that the $5 beverages were the reason you were $80k in debt. Maybe…
If our fellow countrymen wayyy up north knew that we Miamians weren’t taking advantage of our abundance of pools, sun and sand – we may have another Civil War on our hands. Two weeks ago it was SNOWING up there and we had the nerve to shiver about 65 degrees!…

Many actors have tried, but there aren’t enough cotton balls and walnuts in the world to fill their cheeks to look like those of Marlon Brando. The Academy Award-winning actor and activist has one of the most prolific careers and recognized names in showbiz, and was dark and brooding while…
Miami is far enough from the godforsaken parts of the Western United States that most people down here haven’t heard of Burning Man, the weeklong music/art/camping/rampant-drug-use festival that Californians circle on their calendar the day after the last edition has ended. For the uninitiated, Burning Man began in San Francisco…
You’ve mastered painting by numbers and coloring within the lines, but you still can’t find anyone who will plunk down the dough to own a piece of your handiwork. The forty artists-in-residence at ArtCenter/South Florida are used to people trading moola for their masterpieces, and as a part of the…
In the early 1940s, certain intelligence agencies of the U.S. government used cannabis to extract the truth from captors with a bad case of cat-got-your-tongue. The THC back then had been proven to cause loose-lip syndrome, but the street-level strains sold now seem to only promote the sale of late-night…
Yeah, it’s 4/20, but for once we’re not talking about smoking another Swisher Sweet cigarillo. We’re talking about National Park Week and a three-hour tour that doesn’t end with you making a phone out of a coconut. Problem is, you probably don’t have a boat, and unless you plan on…
