Comedian Daniel Reskin is celebrating his 26th birthday with a ukulele-wielding lesbian singing a little ditty about joining the Christian right to piss off her ex-girlfriend. This display does not disrupt his celebration. In fact, it’s very much a part of it. Reskin is in the midst of hosting the…
Multiple mistresses. A womanizing king who imprisoned or killed their husbands. Nineteenth Century political scandals were a lot more intense than today’s freakouts over PG-13 cellphone photos of a congressman’s package. Case in point: Victor Hugo’s Le Roi s’amus (The King’s Fool) modeled on the exploits of France’s murderous King…
We knew last night’s episode of Basketball Wives was going to be good when Royce Reed told Rafer Alston’s fiancée Ashley Walker, “I’m not ghetto, but I’m hood.” So that means what exactly? While she tries to explain the Evelyn Lozada brawl from the last episode, from we understand, it…
Pan American Art Projects’ new exhibit isn’t your typical summer group show. At a time when most local galleries are dusting off their stock and having the ubiquitous fire sale to move brand merchandise, this Wynwood space is delivering a museum-quality show featuring top-drawer talent courtesy of Abelardo Mena, curator…
Road to Nowhere is the first feature by Monte Hellman the Great since 1989’s Silent Night, Deadly Night 3, an ignoble last chapter, that, for an artist who at his peak (Two-Lane Blacktop, Cockfighter) superbly combined an absurdist worldview and snapshot-authentic Middle America. But rather than rehashing the old hits,…
Crack heads are frying the eggs of rogue sacrificial chickens on the sidewalks, there’s pit-stains galore, and your FPL bills are soaring ….Summer’s officially here. And we bet you’re doing anything and everything to keep cool. You’re sucking on Choco-Tacos, wearing your shortest pair of coochie-cutters, and drinking from the…
On the cusp of his live performance at the Seminole Casino Hollywood tomorrow night, we were able to convince Gallagher to let us ask him some hard-hitting questions he would surely side-step. We wanted a phone interview so when we claim that homeboy just basically phoned in his responses we…
Fashion Breakdown: Beanie is a gift from a friend, bow tie, shirt and jacket form Art of Shade, skinny pants from Hot Topic, and boots are vintage…
Last night marked the latest installment of the quarterly Lip Service writing/performance mash-up event, and it provided further shining hope for local writerly types. Apparently, not only are there other people in Miami willing to give aspiring scribes a forum for their real-life stories, but there are people who will…
Check out all the photos from “Enter the Nineties” at Miami-Dade Main Library here.Remember the zine? It was the DIY magazine for the aspiring teenage artist, rock ‘n’ rock journalist, and literary writer. With a bit of imagination, a copier, and staples, you had your very own publication. You almost…
The VH1 hit-show Mob Wives is looking to expand its programming to another city. Miami is on the short list along with Chicago and Vegas. Would the 305 be a good choice? Yes. After all, everyone knows there are six, not five boroughs of New York City: the Bronx, Queens,…
Most people don’t know that with seven galleries scattered across town and sprawling exhibition spaces at the Freedom Tower, Miami Dade College boasts the region’s largest art network.But by next Monday, MDC’s rambling Art Gallery System will experience an even bigger bulge in its seam when it becomes home to…
Dad might not have been to all your little league games (what with his busy “work” schedule) and he might not have been supportive initially when you told him you play for the pink team. Heck, maybe he even frittered away your college tuition with his penchant for the ponies…
The rumors are definitely circulating, but as we have no official release in our clammy little hands, we’ll just say Evelyn Lozada might be writing a novel. (And by writing, we assume that means dictating tales to a bored ghostwriter.) According to the Bleacher Report and Black Sports Online, her…
It’s 10 minutes before a human character appears on-screen in Green Lantern, a personality-free franchise-launcher that opens this weekend. Via a heavily CGI’d prologue, we learn that The Universe is patrolled by a group of multi-species warriors called The Green Lantern Corps–with each member issued an actual camping lantern, which…
Romantic Comedies can be a lot like your romantic relationships. Some are great the first time out and make you certain that they’ll be the “one” forever, only for you to find out on a second date or when you see it on DVD that they weren’t all that wonderful…
Oh, Miami in mid June! We raise our fists against you! Why does the air feel like a moist armpit? And where have all the weekend events gone? We squeezed and squeezed the calendar this week, and the following eight events dripped out. Our top pick is the Art and…
In Submarine, which opens this weekend, Oliver Tate (Craig Roberts), a rampant 15-year-old only child, has two presiding preoccupations, detailed in rapid voiceover: a broody classmate, Jordana (Yasmin Paige), and the flatlined sex life of his parents (show-stealers Noah Taylor and Sally Hawkins), brought to crisis by the arrival of…
Naked Hiking Day takes place this year on June 21, a Tuesday. Seems like an innocuous day to get out of your underwear and gallop out in the open air. Instinctively, it makes sense. It’s like, yes, go back to your roots, be all tribal and shit. But then the…
Fashion Breakdown: Dress from a boutique in Las Vegas, necklace Forever XXI, shoes from Rampage, bag from Nordstorm, watch by Michael Kors, nail polish from Walgreen’s – “I think it’s called Electric Orange and it was 99 cents.”…
The WNBA’s Miami team, the Miami Sol, may no longer be around, but that isn’t because Miami women don’t know how to slam. Deborah Magdalena, the local founder of SWAN (Supporting Women Artists Now) realized that 305 women needed a court of sorts to display their poetry slam prowess. “There…
America has the highest number of undeserving celebrities per capita. If we had a nickel for every Wacka Flacka Flame or Those Guys Who Wrote That Song About Flying High and Ballin’, we wouldn’t need advertisers. Also, we would exchange those nickels to euros because our dollar is weak as…
