We’re hearing a lot of film news coming out of South by Southwest and it’s not all about Jake Gyllenhaal peeing. And out of all the dispatches, the project we’re most excited about is the new live action Super Mario Bros. movie. It’s got everything: heart, grit, Luigi, the Princess,…
Last night’s Real Housewives of Miami episode was pumped full of a lot of the same: Larsa complains about nannies, Cristy complains about Lea, both agree Lea’s sense of style is not cute. Lea goes shopping with a friend and reveals the way she tries on clothing — over the…

Today is Everything You Think Is Wrong Day. And everything we’ve learned thus far about Elsa Patton, the real star of the Real Housewives of Miami, is completely false. Yes lies, ALL LIES! But step back from that cliff’s ledge, my friend, in honor of today’s holiday, we’ve decided to…
When Aldo Castillo was hired as associate director of the Miami International Art Fair (MIA) last year he didn’t expect that the experience would land him a higher profile gig on the international stage. “I was hired by International Fine Arts Expositions to organize the seven fairs the company operates…
It’s easy to mock the world of professional modeling from behind the comfort of our laptop screens and the forgiving waistbands of PajamaJeans. (Pass that bag of Late Night All Nighter Cheeseburger Doritos, please.) But every day, professional clothes hangers, we mean models, must face grueling denial, physical fatigue, and…
Remember the show Quantum Leap? Probably not. In the show, there’s this physicist, Sam, who becomes lost in time following a time-travel experiment. A new Miami spoken word night, Words & Wine, is like a whole season of this show (in a good way), starting with the venue, the American…
When part one of Basketball Wives reunion aired Sunday and was just OK, we were disappointed. But in last night’s part two, the “wives” really stepped it up. Anything that needed to be brought to the table was brought in a very big way. Things we didn’t even know about…
Brendt Barbur started the internationally renowned, grassroots Bicycle Film Festival after getting hit by a bus in New York City.

There are signs of this everywhere, from the ever-so-popular, ever-so-ridiculous Bravo Housewives to the tugging of pigtails at the playground. There are,…
There are a few people whose minds we would love to get inside of to really understand the way they think: President Barack Obama, Oprah, and Charlie Sheen, of course. Add to that list, Basketball Wives’ Evelyn Lozada. Why? Well, the bitch is nuts. As we reported last week, TMZ…
On a chilly night, during the Second Saturday Art Walk, in a dark yard beside Dorsch Gallery in Wynwood, four men sit at tables arranged in a square, their faces lit by the glare of their lap-top screens. All around them sounds twitter, gurgle, buzz and flow from four large…
Set in Uptown Chicago, Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Tracy Letts’ Superior Donuts, which opens this Saturday at GableStage at the Biltmore, tells the tale of Arthur, a former 60s radical and owner of a rundown donut shop, and the offbeat friendship he shares with Franco, his young African American employee…

We suppose the homeless herds who graze in South Beach’s Lummus Park — a small stretch of greenery that separates Ocean Drive from the actual ocean — are going to have to pack up their shopping carts and loiter elsewhere from 1 to 4 p.m. on Wednesday. Victoria’s Secret’s PINK…
The initial impression of the World Premier of Billy Corben and rakontur’s new documentary Square Grouper, a chronicle of South Florida marijuana smugglers in the 70’s and 80’s, was that attendance was a bit sparse. Clearly Austin hasn’t heard whom Billy is rolling with these days. Corben himself joked during…
No reality show is complete without a reunion to look back at all the moments where your cast mates talked about your behind your back. Is there a better way to end a journey then calling out people to their faces? We think not. And consider all the drama on…
