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…
In February of 1995 Charlton Heston called Rush Limbaugh’s radio program to read from Jurassic Park – the book, not the movie. In his best Old Testament boom, Heston declaimed a speech about man’s hubris that Michael Crichton had written for Dr. Ian Malcolm, the chaos theoretician played onscreen by…
Jeff Orlowski grew up wanting to be a nature photographer. But like so many in that field, his work now focuses less on capturing Earth’s natural wonders than it does on cataloguing their steady demise. “This is an entire field of professionals who are witnessing firsthand the falling apart of…
About 10 minutes into Marti Noxon’s eating-disorder drama, To the Bone, Ellen (Lily Collins) sneaks away from her overbearing stepmom, Susan (Carrie Preston), to chug warm water from a public-bathroom faucet (a trick to fool the body into thinking it’s full so that it will burn more calories). A fellow…
If you’re a Miamian, chances are you’ve embraced climate change as fact (or live in an ideological bubble). The evidence is all around, and it forecasts rising sea levels, warming temperatures, changing wildlife patterns, and increasingly volatile storm seasons. While the majority of Florida voters seem content to elect officials who deny this now-obvious science in favor of short-term profit, many Dade County denizens live with the effects of climate change every day.
Thursday In case the terrible traffic and rudeness have distracted you, here’s a reminder: The city you live in is a tropical vacation destination. And though it might be tempting to jet off to a place like New York to see some new faces, you don’t have to, because the…
Located between the neighborhoods of Allapattah and Model City, 7th Avenue Sunday has a bourgeoning sense of energy, excitement, and diversity.

A few months before 40-year-old writer Luis Felipe Garcia began his eight-and-a-half-year stint in prison, he was selling liquid acid at a party when he accidentally dosed himself with the equivalent of 200 hits. At the time, the author of the new collection of short stories, Missing, was taking buprenorphine,…
It’s 9 p.m. on a Friday, and the Mutiny Hotel in Coconut Grove is but a sleepy ghost of drug-addled days past. Isis Masoud, a tall, pretty, expectant mother with clear brown eyes that almost match her rusty-brown hair, sits on a gold vinyl couch stacked with embroidered pillows in…
You’ve undoubtedly heard of the Cannes Film Festival, the annual film-preview extravaganza held in Cannes, France. But have you heard of the Canine Film Festival? No? Well, it’s pretty much the same but with one small difference. You can probably guess what it is.
Dueling images of Catholic nuns portray either holier-than-thou punishers in habits or hippie types with acoustic guitars, like the postulant Maria in The Sound of Music. Both stereotypes obscure the fact that, in real life, a lot of nuns are just … kind of weird. At one of the many…
In third grade, Ashley Bellinger, a scrawny 8-year-old with a head too big for her body, was running around the playground at recess when a group of four classmates stopped her in her tracks. ”What’s wrong with you?” they asked, surrounding her. “Why are you black and your grandma and mom are white? Why are you so dark?”
We’re approaching July’s mid-point, which means we’re halfway through the summer months. For many of you you’re either just coming back from blowing your savings on a fancy vacation or trying to save pennies for an impending trip. You’ve got your priorities in order, so we’re here to help ease…
Somehow, while we were worrying about superheroes and star destroyers and hot rods and whether Captain America could beat up Superman or whatever, the goddamned Planet of the Apes movies became the most vital and resonant big-budget film series in the contemporary movie firmament. And they did it with the…
Scarface is indisputably one of the greatest movies shot in Miami. It was inspired in part by the city’s cocaine epidemic of the ’70s and ’80s. It included characters who had arrived here via the Mariel Boatlift. And its remake will soon be casting in, of all places, Atlanta.
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…
This weekend, you have several options: You can reminisce about the past with shows from Paul McCartney and Metallica and parties with Andy Rourke and ’90s R&B, or you can live in the present with local art from the MUCE Summer Series and More Light or film from up-and-comers at the Miami Independent Film Festival. Or you can say f*** it…
It’s the journey, not the destination, for two artists and a photographer from Spain who have embarked on their biggest project yet: a 45-day mural-painting journey across the United State called Survibe. Last week, one of the stops on their Survibe tour landed right in the heart of downtown Miami, at the Centro Cultural Español de Cooperación Iberoamericana (CCEMiami).
Joining a wave of migration to Little Haiti — one that includes galleries such as Emerson Dorsch, Mindy Solomon, and Nina Johnson, as well as other cultural organizations — Exile Books has opened a storefront in the heart of the neighborhood. After three years in a small Wynwood studio, the small publisher is spreading its wings…
The 88th MLB All-Star Game takes place in Miami next week. Here are all the best events leading up to it.
