Let’s face it. Catching a Florida Marlins day game during the summer can be downright masochistic. No other baseball team holds matchups in a football stadium in the dead of summer when the humidity is at boil-an-egg-in-your-crotch levels. Also, no other franchise has a promotion that features an energy squad…
Just when we think the Miami Heat’s season can’t get any worse, the AP reports Pat Riley might miss a game or two so he can scout during the NCAA Tournament. That makes perfect sense! The team is obviously being coached very well right now, so there’s no need for…
It’s Friday night and finally another week of excruciating employment has come to an end. All you wanna do is kick back with a couple of cocktails, the stronger the better. If you’re looking for the kind of venue that will recharge your beaten spirit, hit up Uva69. Let the…
Boys and their wrestling – so adorable, am I right, ladies? Your man might be a 33-year-old doctor with intelligence and cultural savvy to spare, but once he sits back to watch Monday Night Raw with a fresh brewski in hand, watch out. The inner 10-year-old is about to emerge,…
With the exoskeletal grid of buildings belching over the Big Mango, it can often be difficult to decipher the history behind our growing city. Not to worry, clueless ones. The Dade Heritage Trust is exposing South Florida’s overshadowed roots during March and April with Dade Heritage Days’ Green Spaces &…
The sun is at full blaze, but you’re blocking the rays with your fedora, so it’s not bothering you. The temperature is set to “Hell,” but you don’t mind, because you’re on the shady side of Crandon Park’s Stadium Court, fanning yourself with a program. The folks who should be…
Attention, theater nerds: Get thee to the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts to see the ultimate theater geekfest, Forbidden Broadway, in its inaugural South Florida run. In case you weren’t in high school drama club, Forbidden Broadway is a long-running New York musical revue that spoofs Broadway show…
New York’s biannual fashion week is one of the definitive couture showcases in the world, shining a light on the trends that will rule the style universe for the next year. And although Miami is no Big Apple, it is home to enough snowbirds and imports to give our fair…
Being from Florida, we didn’t know much about hockey before we saw The Mighty Ducks; apparently it’s not part of the Canadian Creation myth involving the half-goat Puck. Cinema always had that power to educate and change perspectives. However, purging notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar from Colombia’s image is a…
Marco Kornfeld Click here to see a slide show of the festival Calle Ocho, the words speak for themselves, but if you need more than that, here’s a recap: It was a thousand degrees outside. Near the main stage, two crackheads passed by a small girl playing with dirt. On…
Nothing says gimme rights like dance music and Absolut cocktails. Tonight’s mission, which really began in 1997 when a couple of jolly fellows got together to figure out a more effective way to say to the tools in Tallahassee, “Please, sir, I want some more,” is Equality Florida’s coming out…
It’s nearly the weekend. Choose wisely. Blogger Gabriel Caro ranks the sexual accolades of countries in this “Latin American Fuckability Index.” An excerpt: “no doubt about it, there’s an implicit hierarchy among countries that influences whether legs will open or close in your proximity.” Big surprise. Argentina and Brazil are…
Although you won’t find a Napoleon, Bluebell, or Snowball in Juan Erlich’s mutant menagerie, his eye-popping c-prints on Plexiglas evoke a sense of Orwell’s Animal Farm. His bizarre beasties appear in lush natural settings devoid of human life, hinting at a dystopian future, or perhaps the aftermath of an eco-disaster…
Female Nudes: Blake Fisher’s fetching silver gelatin prints are reminiscent of the photography of Bill Brandt and Lucien Clergue, and exude a timeless quality. Some of his models are bathed in soft natural light; others are cloaked in a dramatic chiaroscuro. Fisher’s images are often rhythmic and fluid, his models…
No Country for Old Men (Paramount) “A horror comedy chase” is how a grinning Tommy Lee Jones describes No Country for Old Men in the making-of — meanwhile, his fellow actors add to the list such adjectives as “a very primitive ride,” “a rabbit chase through Texas,” and “a very…
For the crime of obliterating high culture, for the crime of getting off on vicarious degradation — and, above all, for the crime of sitting through any movie that resembles the one he’s (re)made — Michael Haneke sentences you (me, us) to Funny Games. Scratch that: to a second fucking…
The English media has spent the better part of a year back-and-forthing over the true-or-false plot points of the 1971-set Bank Job, a movie about the plan to steal nudie pics of Princess Margaret from the bank vault in which they were stashed. More important, and about bloody time, The…
You’ll know in the first few minutes exactly what Patapon has going for it. There’s the goofy premise, which casts you as the tribal god Patapon, lord of a band of creatures called, imaginatively enough, Patapons — little savages that are basically eyeballs with arms and legs. Then there’s the…
I take great umbrage!” the feisty voice of Jiminy Glick says during a recent phone interview with Martin Short from his home in Los Angeles. Reflecting on such absurdities, which frequently come out of his characters’ mouths, Short adds, “I’ll think, I’ve never used that expression in my life…. I…
Not far from Joe Adler’s GableStage, convicted sex offenders live under a bridge because they’re not allowed to live anywhere else. Many of us in the surrounding area are happy about that; we think the bridge is a perfectly good place for those people, if we really must share terra…

So maybe your college years consisted of spending afternoons at the library and nights with your face buried in a book. If you were being studious while your classmates were having sex, sex, and more sex, it’s not too late (or illegal) for you to get in on the action…
