If the walls of Mac’s Club Deuce could talk, what debauched tales they would tell. Twisted yarns of sex, drugs, rock ’n’ roll, and celebrities who come for the nonchalant anonymity and stay to get plastered with locals, hookers, trannies, and one poor iguana that got pitched tail-first across the…
We can extol the many virtues of spending an evening with Giant Step at the Delano’s Florida Room, but you’ve probably already heard the hype. And if you haven’t, here are the CliffsNotes: Once a month, new and established artists such as Janelle Monáe, Little Jackie, and Robin Thicke bring…
Rock Band, the videogame, feeds on every young guy’s fantasy of kicking ass by busting out arena-shaking guitar solos, taking names, and getting panties thrown at him onstage. Rock Band Live, the concert tour, is a decidedly more fey affair. Headlined by the rose-vest-wearing emo rockers of Panic at the…
Mystic River author Dennis Lehane Dennis Lehane, author of best-sellers turned box office hits Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone, is as Boston as the Dropkick Murphys and “Sweet Caroline” at Red Sox games. But he’s actually a South Florida guy, too. Lehane studied at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg…

Ostensibly, Zack and Miri Make a Porno should be money-shot Kevin Smith: Pals make a porn to pay the bills and, in the process of gettin’ it on for the video cam, cum to realize their years-in-the-making friendship is really a love affair. Awwwww, how sweet. In other words, it’s…
On a double bill with L.A. Confidential, Chinatown, or almost any film made after 1970 about institutional corruption in Los Angeles, Clint Eastwood’s Changeling, a period drama based on a 1928 Los Angeles missing-child case, would come off as faintly geezer-ish noir lite. As LAPD scandals go, the case of…
For fans of the deathtrap-redemption horror series and its central figure, John “Jigsaw” Kramer (Tobin Bell) — and realistically, only the diehards are buying tickets at this point — there’s good news and there’s bad news. On the plus side, Saw V director David Hackl, who conceived most of the…
Hello, Kitty: I’m a 48-year-old man with a wife, two kids, and a strong libido. My wife has lost interest in sex. It might have to do with the fact that I have been jobless two years, leaving her to support the family. But she also complains that I don’t…
The mixtape cannot achieve perfection. Place Adrian Belew side by side with the X-Ray Specs, and you might draw undue attention to Belew’s geekiness. Pair Patti Smith with the Rolling Stones, and she might come off as a blowhard. On almost any mixtape, at least one song will fail to…
Some people want to get scared on Halloween. Others only want to get “scared.” It’s easy to tell which kind of person you are. Did you pay full price to see Saw V, only to peek through your fingers and giggle your way through the movie? Are you prepared to…

Driving in South Florida is not fun by any stretch of the imagination. If you’re not stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, you’re being cut off by a driver who insists on waiting until the exit is 15 feet away before leaving the passing lane. Rather than let road rage get the…
Spanish films often include plots involving young, struggling artists sleeping with older women; funerals that turn into occasions for lovemaking; and scenes in kitchens where people are cooking naked. In fact, according to the Spanish National Institute of Film, unless a flick includes both food and sex (and preferably in…
National fatigue for November 4 set in a while ago, but the campaigns still kept plugging along. Doesn’t it seem like so long ago that Barack Obama and John McCain were seen as long shots for their party candidacies? Wasn’t this supposed to be Hillary Clinton versus Mitt Romney? A…
In a perfect world, this year’s presidential election would have been as simple as lounging in front of a TV set and indulging in a little couch-side commentary. Anchors would report the facts, pundits would plead the case for their side of the issue, and Americans could proceed to spew…
“Nice haircut! Where’d you get it?” Your usual answer to that question is the name of a swishy salon. Wouldn’t it be great to have an interesting story behind your cool new haircut? To be able to say, “I got my hair cut in a park, during one of the…

Let’s face it. When we think of ancient artifacts, the first thing that pops to mind is John McCain. After all, he’s as stiff as a mummy, and his politics seem embalmed in a faded age. This Saturday, clear your mind of the petrified blowhard at the Lowe Art Museum,…
In the works of Jane Austen, dance ignites powerful passion. This is an amazing thing given that, in Austen’s time, men wore wigs, and women corsets. Even as ribs groaned and beefy Englishmen pranced, couples fell in love. Fast-forward 200 years to the discovery of the female thigh. If a…
For responsible, grown women, composure is key. Rarely do they get shaken, miffed, or rattled, but when certain situations transpire, even the strong can fall prey to fandom, eliciting high-pitched squeals that make neighboring canines’ heads snap. One such event happened this past May on NBC’s Today Show with a…
