The film’s half-baked story about a girl trying to live out her slutty, wonderful, deceased mother’s dream of operating a hotel on a Greek island (all set to the music of ABBA) is so thoroughly entertaining and ridiculous that the cast members can’t help but crack into dumb grins at what they’re doing
There’s an unspoken sisterhood among women with curly hair. Could it be the early memories of straightening maintenance? Probably. The all-too-familiar annoyance of strangers reaching for their hair? Absolutely. The lack of products on the market embracing natural curls? Definitely. Miko Branch and her sister Titi…
All that lashing wind and rain, and Fuqua’s sometimes haphazard storytelling, deny us the grim pleasures of Denzel’s methodical slayings, which often take clever advantage of whatever tools happen to be handy
We’ve heard enough about a certain entertaining Hamilton. It’s time for a new one. London-based DJ Archie Hamilton has made quite a name for himself worldwide, jammin’ everywhere from Amnesia in Ibiza to the massive Sonus Festival in Croatia. He’s a true force in the house and techno spaces…

Miami-born-and-bred artist Haiiileen, real name Aileen Quintana, has displayed her larger-than-life, neo-acid experimental works — from massive installations at III Points to performance art and sculptures at local museums — in the Magic City throughout her career. But when the building that housed Quintana’s studio was sold, she was left with no space to continue creating her art.
Florida Supercon 2018 began with a ribbon-cutting ceremony early Thursday afternoon. Holding the scissors was a Brooklyn kid who was bullied and teased for being different; he was 90 percent deaf. Like so many con attendees, he simply wanted to be stronger than the bullies made him feel and have a place in the world.
As with most horror films, the cast gets whittled down one by one by the killer, in this case, a cabal of folks in black hoods capable of showing up at the characters’ homes at a moment’s notice — they’re maniacally smart, always 10 steps ahead of the gang
Growing up in Miami is difficult to explain unless you’ve lived it. Like most millennials native to South Florida, Audrey Gair found this out after moving away to Baltimore to attend the Maryland Institute College of Art. “I was totally struck by how all of my classmates were white,” Gair reflects…
Despite some distracting narrative choices and sketchy character development (especially with Mara’s character, who, of course, turns into a love interest), the film does eventually find its footing

Van Helsing is a distant memory by the time we reach Dracula (aka Drac) in the present day, feeling lonely at Hotel Transylvania, his secret resort run by and for monsters, where demonic creatures and other surreal abominations of nature are allowed to vacation free of human meddling
The World Cup final, Overtown Music & Arts Festival, The Wizard of Oz, and more of the best things to do in Miami this weekend.
It’s not easy having eyes all over the scene, being around to take in all the wild visuals at all the worthwhile places in the city. There are, however, those parties and gallery openings where a fortunate photographer can point and shoot. Every week, in collaboration with WorldRedEye, New Times…
