Elizabeth Taylor passed away this morning. We lost another Hollywood icon who might have touched our grandparent’s and parent’s lives more than she did ours, but we still knew her well. It’s a testament to her star power that she continued to make news even well into her 70s. Taylor…
The U.S. is notorious for teaching its public school students American history at the expense of world history (which just might be slightly more important). The American education system sucks and Florida, always one to get left behind, consistently is consistently suckier than most – ranking in the bottom 25%…
Sure, James Franco is hot. Super hot. And hey, when an actor’s been involved with projects like Freaks and Geeks, Spider Man, Milk, Howl, and Pineapple Express (we’ll just pretend like Eat, Pray, Love and Tristan & Isolde never happened), it’s easy to like them. Because those are all cool…
As spacey as its title suggests, Gregg Araki’s latest youth film is an occult mystery set in the ultimate SoCal college playpen.

Last night’s episode of Real Housewives of Miami was like freebasing Ambien and glitter. It was half Sand Man-approved snore-fest and half WTF?.

In some religions, when you die, you get your ticket punched to Heaven or Hell; never mind the get-out clause. In others, there’s the notion of a sin bin where you receive a time-out until Judgment Day or the Resurrection comes.Catholics, however, have a place called Purgatory, or an in-between…

We love the idea of nightclub as gallery. Next-door neighbors Bar and the Vagabond change their walls so frequently it’s like a never-ending series of different venues each month. One night you can party in a graffiti-clad urban jungle and the next in a cartoonish play-land. And in April, the…

Playing at the GableStage at the Biltmore, Superior Donuts is Tracy Lett’s enjoyable follow up to his Pulitzer Prize winning August: Osage County (currently playing at the Actors’ Playhouse).
