Twenty years after filmmaker Luis Buñuel made the surrealist classic Un Chien Andalou with Salvador Dali, he fell in love with Mexico, relinquished his Spanish citizenship, and spent the rest of his life making movies there. Mexico has always had a rich cinema history, from the Golden Age of the…
This Thursday through Sunday, the Florida Marlins greet the New York Mets for the first time this season in a four-game set. And if you need any additional encouragement to head to Sun Life Stadium beyond the chance to berate scores of New York transplants, the Fish have you covered…
To call ANR simply a “rock band” would be woefully leaving out a large chunk of their musical stew. Disco, soul, funk, and a large dose of the Purple One all figure into the sound. Still, it rocks. And though they broke up for a minute a couple of years…
On November 21, 2006, a 25-year-old woman named Doris Jiménez was raped and strangled at Sol Fashion, the clothing boutique she owned in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. The same day, her American ex-boyfriend, Eric Volz, a relatively wealthy and successful magazine editor, was 55 miles away in the capital…
Throughout April, students in 12 inner-city high schools and middle schools received a crash course in poetry and classical music. The Dranoff International Two Piano Foundation brought live music and spoken-word performers into classrooms, attempted to present Chopin as the Tupac of his day, and then asked students to write…
Nineteen hours. That’s, on average, the amount of time your mom had to sweat, grunt, and push so you could lie around and play World of Warcraft all day. And you can’t even remember to take five minutes to call her on Mother’s Day? Make this year different. This Sunday,…

Most local bands, especially punks, stopped trying to have any sort of stage presence over the past decade. As musicians worried about being the next Marilyn Manson, New Found Glory, or Miami Sound Machine, they focused on getting famous and ignored the audience. But this Saturday, the Monterey Club has…
In case you hadn’t already noticed, Dave Barry isn’t just a Pulitzer Prize-winning humor columnist. He’s also a shameless self-promoter and gratuitous merchandiser whose online store is packed with all kinds of useless, overpriced crap, including “Dave Barry for President” T-shirts, hoodies, baby bibs, trucker hats, tote bags, teddy bears,…
We’re nearing that time of year when even the idea of taking a walk in Miami makes us sweat, so this month’s Second Saturday Art Walk might mark our last chance to actually enjoy hoofing it. Then, Edge Zones Art will hand over its space to local artist Victor Payares,…
We’re nearing that time of year when even the idea of taking a walk in Miami makes us sweat, so this month’s Second Saturday Art Walk might mark our last chance to actually enjoy hoofing it. From 7 to 10 p.m., the new home of the De La Cruz Collection…
With his novel The Magicians, author Lev Grossman offers an astringent antidote to Pollyanna Harry Potter mania. As he told the Village Voice, he wanted a Potter-like character who was “having sex instead of snogging, or drinking real beer instead of butterbeer, if… his friends didn’t have a Voldemort in…
We’re nearing that time of year when even the idea of taking a walk in Miami makes us sweat, so this month’s Second Saturday Art Walk might mark our last chance to actually enjoy hoofing it. Locust Projects has invited Brooklyn-based independent arts writer Michael Wilson to adorn the gallery…

Sure, eight Tony Awards might impress some people. But for those of us who don’t speak “jazz hands,” music composer Duncan Sheik is reason enough to catch the musical Spring Awakening. Formerly known as a one-hit wonder (“Barely Breathing,” Google it), Sheik is the man behind the riveting music and…
People love stories about revenge. Just think: They even named a deep-fried sandwich after the definitive tale of vengeance, The Count of Monte Cristo. Award-winning playwright Michael McKeever is serving up his own dish of retribution with a brand-new provocative drama, Unreasonable Doubt, opening this Wednesday at Actors’ Playhouse at…
This Sunday marks the kickoff of the weekly bike ride in South Miami called Velo Sundays. It’ll be a 10 to 15 mile (i.e., a two-hour) ride, starting at Dadeland Station and then heading through South Miami, Sunset Place, Coral Gables, before returning to Dadeland via Ponce. For your own…
Distracted is a meditation on medication, a schizo romp through a schizo world that mirrors our own a little too perfectly. Laura Turnbull plays a character called simply “Mom,” the mother of a kid who can’t focus. But who can? Dad (Stephen G. Anthony) is a ball of anxiety, their…
You can learn a lot at New Theatre this month. For example, actress Barbara Sloan, for so long typecast as a vengeful cougar, makes a fantastic screwball, or John Manzelli and Katherine Amadeo really should get together more. They have a magnificent and unfakeable chemistry in Raised in Captivity, a…
The Quarrel follows Rabbi Hersh Rasseyner (Avi Hoffman) and journalist Chaim Kovler (Chaz Mena) through a day in a Montreal park. They are old friends, long estranged, each of whom thought the other dead. It is 1948, and they have only narrowly survived Hitler’s Europe. After their happy embraces, the…
