Halloween is the unofficial kick start to the holiday season. It’s as good an excuse as any to act like a child, dress up in absurd costumes, and scare the living shit out of people. It’s also the only time of year you would pay for someone else to scare…
There’s plenty of time to wonder, as J.K. Simmons narrates page after page of backstory, whether the creators of The Accountant realized that their dutifully twisty R-rated thriller was actually another superhero story. Yes, it’s got trappings of psychology and adult thoughtfulness, speeches about the mysteries of the brain and…
Art Basel Miami Beach and the slate of art fairs and events that make up Miami Art Week always bring celebrities to South Florida. Madonna’s already made her 2016 Art Basel plans public. According to an announcement from Art Miami LLC, she could be rubbing elbows with actor Adrian Brody…

This is the one where a guy eats his own puke. The one where Divine stabs a boyfriend to death, gorges on his innards, then makes out with her own bloodied image in the mirror. The one where she’s sodomized with a rosary while we see images of the crucifixion…
The river of grass that is The Everglades is rich in history and nature. Soon, it’ll also be rich in art. The Artists in Residence in Everglades (AIRIE) program helps people explore the artsy side of the wetlands, by serving as a hub that allows artists to live and work…
The techniques of verbatim theater go back decades, to at least the 1950s, when young German theater troupes would reenact complicated court cases word for word onstage. Even earlier, in the United States, the WPA paid for a form of this performance with its Living Newspapers, in which theater artists…
For those of us old enough to remember, Homestead is the area that was decimated by Hurricane Andrew. For the rest, it’s one of the few places left in the 305 with affordable housing (if you’re willing to add an hour or longer to your morning commute). It may not…
In American Honey, her 162-minute fourth feature (and the first she’s made in the U.S.), the British director Andrea Arnold sets an infatuation-at-first-sight encounter to Rihanna’s “We Found Love,” a conversation about dreams to Bruce Springsteen singing “Dream Baby Dream” and a moment of camaraderie among itinerant youngsters traveling across…
