It’s not easy having eyes all over the scene, being around to take in all the wild visuals at all the worthwhile places in the city. There are, however, those parties and gallery openings where a fortunate photographer can point and shoot. Every week, in collaboration with WorldRedEye, New Times…
The Science Art Cinema will finally announce the winner of its short-film contest on Thursday, during a soirée at Frost Science.
The word flamenco conjures the machine-gun snap of heels, arms arched overhead, the flick of red fabric and laser-like glares from beneath the starched black brim of a Cordobes hat. At the edges of a bright spotlight sit a semi-anonymous guitarist and singer providing musical backdrop for all the dancer’s…
DWNTWN Art Days will return for its sixth-annual edition Friday, September 8, with exhibitions, tours, interactive activities, and art parties throughout downtown Miami.
Thursday Pants are not the bottoms of choice in a tropical climate, which is why you’ll see everything from biking shorts to thong bikinis covering the privates of Miami citizens. No Pop decided to immortalize this wide variety of attire in its Pants Zine, which consists of photographs of guests…
November 2016 wasn’t the best time to have a baby. My water broke two weeks after Donald Trump was elected president. The world suddenly felt unstable — and my political worries were compounded by the wails of an alert newborn for whom sleep was not on the agenda.
The original French title of Belgian director Joachim Lafosse’s latest domestic drama is L’economie du couple, which translates (awkwardly) as “The Economy of the Couple.” It’s understandable that a U.S. distributor would opt instead for the rather nondescript and bland After Love — who the hell wants to see a…
Unlike many people who become enamored with romanticized ideas of certain eras of the past, Von Teese maintains perspective on the shortcomings of the period she so adores, transporting to the present the vintage styling of the era while parting with its societal hypocrisies and sexual repression.
For Isabella Cisneros and Ramiro Carranza, the launch of their eco-conscious swimwear line was kind of a perfect storm. Both felt a profound connection to nature, with Carranza turning to the outdoors when he moved to Miami from Argentina as a young man. After watching A Plastic Ocean, a documentary on Netflix exposing dangerous levels of plastic polluting our oceans, the two felt restless about the consequences of pollution and somewhat powerless to make a major, lasting change.
In one sense, Steven Spielberg’s 1977 UFO bliss-out, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, is reprehensible. It is, after all, the story of a daydreamer dad (Richard Dreyfuss) who leaves his family for worlds unknown as he continually trades in one slender, luminous life companion for another: Teri Garr for…
OK, folks: It’s last week of August. The worst month of the year is almost over. Soon we’ll be able to go outside without overheating, getting a third-degree sunburn, or drowning in sweat. Sure, the weather will still be hot — it always is in Miami — but at least it won’t be “I might die if I’m not indoors” hot. That’s something worth celebrating, perhaps with these wonderful free events, including concerts, minifestivals, listening parties, and even a bookstore opening.
The story beats of Patti Cake$, a socioeconomic-sermonizing comedy about a thick young white woman with huge hip-hop dreams and little prospects, are as predictable as the ticking of an egg timer, as generic and tinny as the pulses of a drum machine. I rooted not for Patricia Dombrowski (Danielle…
Live long enough, and people may surprise you. The biggest pricks you grew up with — the bullies or blowhards or preening kings of the high school — grow up, too. Sometimes they even turn out all right. Sometimes they’re even stung, a little, to hear what you once made…
Gilbert Gottfried has been a duck, a parrot, and a scapegoat. Working for an insurance company, AFLAC, and a mega corporation like Disney is all well and good — until you say the wrong thing. Considering the abrasive, brash, and often crude nature of Gottfried’s comedy, it is surprising he…
At last, our long nightmare is finally almost over. No, I’m not talking about President Cheeto (although I wish I were) – I’m talking about summer…
On August 11, 2017, a group of white supremacists gathered in Charlottesville, Virginia, to protest the scheduled removal of a statue of Confederate icon Gen. Robert E. Lee from Emancipation Park. With tension mounting in the city, the so-called Unite the Right rally turned violent the following day, when heated clashes erupted…

I’m sitting at a painted wooden booth at Gramps in Wynwood, sipping one of the bar’s cool Rosemary’s Baby drinks, cheerfully recounting an intense day at Miami’s American Idol open auditions with two hopefuls I met earlier in the day.
It’s a big day for three shelter pups as they make their way to a local adoption event. At the end of the day, will they find homes?
In the February 2016 issue of ESPN The Magazine, Danyel Smith penned a powerful essay on Whitney Houston’s chill-inducing rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at Super Bowl XXV, perhaps the pinnacle of national anthem performances. Smith frames Houston as a pioneer, a symbol of strength, singing that crisp winter night…
In any biz — especially in the movie biz — it’s all about who you know. Finding a place to schmooze with the bigwigs in an atmosphere that’s equal parts professional networking and tropical partying could make your career. So the founders of the Grand IndieWise Convention decided…
Last year, Jason Fitzroy Jeffers launched debuted the Third Horizon Caribbean Film Festival to a city longing for more diverse art. After its success at O Cinema Wynwood with films like Ayiti Mon Amour, Generation Revolution, and Crumbs, the festival is returning to Miami September 28th to October 1st with…
