Under the threat of virulent Zika mosquitoes, Wynwood’s summer art scene has ground to a halt. Gallery owners seem more concerned with treating standing pools of water and burning citronella than with luring crowds of visitors to see opening-night exhibits. Not Fredric Snitzer, owner of one of the top galleries…
Happy Monday, Miamians. This week brings plenty of events, and the best part is they’re all free. Monday Jazz Jam at Churchill’s: Get jazzy at Churchill’s weekly jazz session. Free Tour at the Adrienne Arsht Center: Walk through the theater, from lobbies to stages — including private meeting…
Miami is known as a melting pot of sorts; gathering and assimilating various cultures and people in one magical metropolis. All of the locales like Little Haiti, South Beach, and Miami’s Design District are distinctive in their own individual way, yet a city is only as strong as the sum…
For the last three years, stand-up comic Paul Julmeus has been busy making a name for himself throughout Miami, most notably as the host of several unique comedy experiences including Gringo Bingo at Wood Tavern and Just the Tip at Yo! Space. And now he’s leaving us for the bright…
Summer is waning, and because the blockbusters this season have proven rather disappointing, it’s time to get back into the classic film groove and check out some of the many options available this month across the Magic City. Here’s what August has in store for classic film screenings in Miami…
James Schamus has been making movies for as long as Ang Lee has been directing them. The two have penned and produced multiple films together, including Eat Drink Man Woman, The Ice Storm, Lust, Caution, and even Hulk. So moving into the role of director for the first time with…
The best time of the week is finally here — the weekend. The next three days are filled with music, art, and boozy beverages galore. From Coral Gables to Little Havana to South Beach, these are the best places to be until the sun comes up Monday morning. Friday International…
Director Paula Ortiz’s brilliant spin on Federico García Lorca’s classic play Blood Wedding unfolds within the film’s first few seconds. La Novia (The Bride) opens with an overhead shot of a woman who appears almost mummified in a torn and bloodied dress. After a sudden gasp for air, actress Inma Cuesta peels…
Suicide Squad, the third installment of the DC Extended Universe series, hits theaters this weekend; and we’re super-pumped (crappy reviews be damned!). So pumped, in fact, that we decided play the part of the film’s secret government agency and create our own antihero team made up entirely of South Florida people…
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…
Monday morning, August 1. Hot and sunny, it’s 10:15 a.m. and 2000 Ponce de Leon Blvd. hardly seems like the address for an art happening. There’s a bit of bliss to be found in the determined faces of business people scurrying in and out of the building, telling of what…
Most of the coverage of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games has rightfully focused on how well athletes, their families, and media members will deal with disturbing circumstances and questionable security once they arrive in Brazil. When the Games kick off this Friday, much of the world will be holding its…
Is surrealist comedy a genre? If it wasn’t ten years ago, it is now that Eric Andre has hit the scene. The Florida native’s strange brand of situational comedy plays on familiar ideas, constructs, and social tropes — and then turns them upside down and competes against a stegosaurus to…
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince, published in 1943, might stand as a children’s classic, but it’s not-so-secretly a story for grown-ups. Kids have long been drawn to the book’s dreamy sense of wonder, to the golden-haired star-child of the title, but Saint-Exupéry’s ruminations on regret, solitude and loss belong…
“The world changed when Superman flew across the sky,” Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller says early on in Suicide Squad. “And then it changed again when he didn’t,” she continues, over somber images of the Man of Steel’s funeral following his (non-)death at the end of Batman v. Superman. Luckily, that…
For more than a decade, Miami Beach has played seasonal host to Art Basel Miami Beach, one of the world’s largest art fairs. And standing at the center of the activity in South Beach is the Bass Museum, the city’s oldest and only major institution. Founded in 1963, the Bass…
Think back on all of the best or most-talked-about shows of the past few decades: The Sopranos. Seinfeld. Mad Men. Nearly all take place in New York City. But how often do you hear about a show set in Miami? Is it not a city worth writing about? Sure, it…
In West African dance, the rhythm of the drums and the movement of the dancer work together in unison, almost as one colorful, throbbing body. Other styles, from ballet to modern, disconnect the two; dancers move to recorded music or to the sounds of live musicians playing the same notes…
Writer Keith Gessen once said that Philip Roth wasn’t a misogynist and didn’t hate women because he spent all his time “thinking about fucking them.” But he did concede that Roth probably thought “women were a foreign country.” In James Schamus’ debut feature Indignation, an adaptation of a late Roth…
David Holthouse, author of Stalking the Bogeyman, which premiered this past weekend at Gablestage and runs through August 28, is an extraordinary talent. He tells stories like few others — with imagination, drama, and a profound understanding of the twisted side of human existence. His play is a powerful retelling…
Last month, 18-year-old Cornelius Tulloch visited the nation’s capital for the first time. The Miami native, who grew up in Ives Dairy, had just won one of only 20 spots on the U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts award list. As an honoree, Tulloch flew to Washington, D.C., to participate…

Monday Music at Government Center: Start your week off with a free concert during your Monday-morning commute. Jazz Jam at Churchill’s: Get jazzy at Churchill’s weekly jazz session.
