Here’s a great joke. An unhappy married couple get the chance to view, through the goggles of a dimension-hopping mad scientist, how their lives have played out in an alternate reality. The husband, an insecure drip, goes first. Turns out in a world only slightly different from this one he’s…
Yes, you’ve heard it’s bad. It is. But there are some things to like in The Dark Tower, directed by Nikolaj Arcel, the new adaptation of Stephen King’s epic novel series. Just as in the books, an evil sorcerer named The Man in Black (Matthew McConaughey) orders around his henchpeople…
The world needs more awakened individuals. Seriously, where’s the next Gandhi when you need him? And when it comes to getting enlightened, why not start with the youngest generation? The children are our future, after all. That’s what the Conscious Kids Fest is all about.
In the five years since she has been broadcasting conversations via her nomadic online radio station, RadioEE.net, multimedia artist Agustina Woodgate has transmitted from some interesting locations. Her last conversation, concerned with sea-level rise, was broadcast from a boat. The one before that was on a 16-person pedal car on Miami’s Underline below the Metrorail tracks.
We routinely bemoan our daily grind, but it’s a good practice to feel blessed for the mindless labor we engage in for the sake of some paper. So while we gather with family and friends to enjoy the weekend — whether we attend DanceAfrica in Little Haiti, Bill Maher’s show in South Beach, or the Pangea Water Party in Wynwood — let’s remember we’re lucky to not work in an organization like the Trump administration, where our jobs aren’t in constant jeopardy for any reason. Gratitude is the attitude!
Watch out, downtown Miami. David Anasagasti, better known as artist Ahol Sniffs Glue, is opening a souvenir-kiosk-inspired pop-up on Flagler Street called Ahol Sniffs Glue’s Cyber Trap Boutique. The store will debut at the very Miami time of 3:05 p.m. this Saturday with a party fueled by waffles, ice cream, beer, and music.
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…
A new Miami Vice TV series is in the works, but what does it mean for the Magic City?
“Don’t shoot the messenger.” That’s the age-old expression reminding us not to blame the bringer of bad news. It isn’t their fault, after all. But what if the messenger is kind of a dick? Can we at least punch him? Bill Maher has made a career of dropping bad-news bombs on the public during times of political wars, which is just about always.
Frost Science’s new exhibition, “The Mechanicals,” will present more than 60 automata.
After selling its landmark building for $88 million in 2015, ArtCenter/South Florida recently announced the appointment of a new president and CEO, Dennis Scholl, the former vice president of arts for the Knight Foundation. With an extensive background in the local art scene as an executive and entrepreneur, Scholl was…
Give Putin this: The man knows how to deny his government’s elaborate, outrageous conspiracies violating international laws and norms. To this day, despite the 37 medals that have been stripped from his nation’s Olympians, Putin insists that Russia never engaged in a longrunning campaign of doping its athletes and then…
Thursday Even if you haven’t smoked lots of psychoactive drugs, you’ve probably spent more time than you’d like to admit staring at those screen savers that change shapes based on the music that’s playing. PAMM’s latest Free Community Night is taking this concept to a new level with Sacred Geometry,…
At the Tidally United Summit, taking place August 4 and 5, a group of archaeologists, geologists, academics, activists, and local legislators will gather at the Native Learning Center in Hollywood to discuss the impact of climate change from an angle that’s often overlooked: its effect on indigenous communities and cultural heritage.
Man, it’s a hot one. This summer is a miserable mixture of extreme heat and rain. Instead of suffering outside, keep dry and cool inside one of your local art cinemas. With the continuing growth of the repertory cinema scene in Miami, there are a ton of options for classic films to improve your cinematic literacy while also providing a good time.
Only slowly does it become clear that Comrade Detective, a star-driven meta-prank cop-show curio, isn’t supposed to suck. This fact hit me early in the second episode, a full hour into this squirmiest of prestige streaming series, when the comedy’s winking premise — that we’re watching a well-regarded but propagandistic…
In 2014, the German-born, Miami-based artist Dara Friedman’s film about a local man, Ishmael Bermudez, earned a showing at Art Basel Miami Beach. The film followed Bermudez, a character who lives on a valuable plot of land in the Brickell area, where he believes archaeological remnants of an ancient native…
Who came out on top and who got the short end of the lightsaber Florida Supercon 2017?
I sincerely hope that there’s a five-hour cut of Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit somewhere, a version with cleaner through-lines, deeper characterizations and a more organic narrative. But the version that we have right now — a messy, troubling beast clocking in at around 150 minutes — is riveting in its own…
Little Havana’s first boutique hotel is getting its own play. This fall, Miami Motel Stories will use immersive theater to narrate local history at the historic Tower Hotel in Little Havana. Inspired by Paradise Motel, a play written by local playwright Juan C. Sanchez, Miami Motel Stories in a spin on the original piece.
It’s August, which means it’s even hotter than July and you need TV now more than ever! The planet is hot, but you watching TV in your underwear with a fan pointed directly at your swimsuit parts is even hotter! Have at it! Manhunt: Unabomber, Aug. 1 (Discovery) Essentially, this…
It’s hard to imagine a less promising film title than An Inconvenient Sequel. Maybe Another Imposition Upon Your Time? It’s clear, in the opening minutes, as we watch him shake off the slights and smears of his critics, that Al Gore is too savvily upbeat a technocrat to give the…
