Last summer you blamed “karma” (and your cheating ex-lover) for that weird rash on your bum. But this year you’re gonna thank that bitch for giving you more energy, increased flexibility, and a bangin’ body after an hour of Karma Yoga at the Sports Club LA/Miami. So what’s so karmic…
You might recognize dreadlocked hottie Govind Armstrong from Iron Chef America, or maybe you first laid eyes on him in People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People” issue a few years back. He is recognized for his handsomeness but celebrated for his cooking skills. As the owner of the acclaimed restaurant…
Let the record show — we think Ami James and Chris Nuñez are brilliant artists. Over the three seasons Miami Ink has been on the air, our affections have grown for the locally filmed reality show. Now that the hometown artists have taken their A&E television dough and opened up…
Miami’s tragically hip (along with the not-so-hip) can take pleasure in the latest addition to Wednesday-night parties: N3ON Pony. A free alternative to the pricey reggaeton-meets-techno-meets-hip-hop clubs, N3ON looks to bring the artsy kids out of their usual downtown/Design District haunts and onto the Art Deco streets of South Beach…
It was kind of cute when the Braves went all-in to bring hard-swinging righty Mark Teixeira to Atlanta before the trading deadline, only to go all of 6-5 over their next 11 games with their new first baseman. At the end of that stretch, the Braves were in a virtual…
Director Gus Van Sant brought Matt Dillon’s sexy back with Drugstore Cowboy, gave us Keanu Reeves’s most lifelike performance in My Own Private Idaho, gifted us with Sean Connery’s phrase “You’re the man now, dog” in Finding Forrester, and introduced the world to the toothsome Bostonians Ben Affleck and Matt…

Forget about the X-Games. Check out this video of a 17-year-old Kendall skate rat named John Olin. It’s an entertaining waste of four minutes, three seconds: –Tamara Lush…
A kiss between crazies A riot of blood and wit, The Lieutenant of Inishmore is cinematic, gripping, hilarious, grisly, and poignant all at once. It’s Tarantino live — but with a point. This is theater that demands to be seen. Judging by the Saturday night audience at Gablestage, however, chances…
Even from the cheap seats you could see the venom spewing from Kathy Griffin’s lips last night as she spoke the name “Ryan Seacrest.” “I can’t stand that bitch!” she screamed in her trademark pitch before an enraptured sold-out crowd at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood. “……
credit May we have this dance? Where to go on a Saturday night when you’re a lonely, Cuban, senior citizen (or a person who enjoys watching lonely Cuban Senior citizens dance the night away)? Lighthouse 37, baby (the lounge, not the restaurant). If you’ve ever doubted the aphorism: life begins…
The Lieutenant of Inishmore is a lighthearted political satire prominently featuring four murders, two toenail-pullings, one near-miss nipple amputation, two cats’ brains, six punctured eyeballs, many severed limbs, and something like nine gallons of blood. It is a Grand Guignol explosion of death, violence, and bodily fluids that fuses big…

A second disc of eight…
The latest comic meteorite to hurtle forth from the galaxy of producer Judd Apatow, Superbad is about a couple of chronically unpopular best friends who, after four years stuck on the lowest rung of the high school social ladder, find themselves invited to a legitimately cool party. Goodbye, Friday nights…
It’s impossible to write about David Wain’s The Ten without first making passing reference to Krzysztof Kieslowski’s Dekalog and Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life. The former, originally made for Polish TV 20 years ago and first shown in the United States in 2000, offered a modern-day take on the…
Asger Leth’s documentary explores the Port-au-Prince slum Cité Soleil, identified by a UN agency as the “most dangerous place on earth.” It’s a prismatic, jagged, none too coherent travelogue — a portrait of Haiti’s post-Aristide political chaos centered on the rivalry between two gang leaders or “ghosts”: the charismatic 2pac…
If you asked a random person five years ago what sudoku was, you’d be lucky if they mumbled something about Japanese ritual suicide.
