In adapting for the screen the long, hard story of Colin Warner — a Trinidadian native who, as a Brooklyn teenager in 1980, was wrongfully convicted of murder and sent to prison for more than 20 years — Matt Ruskin’s Crown Heights moves along in a counterproductive hurry. Scenes rich...

It has a long and storied history, first as Miami Beach Municipal Auditorium, then the Theater of Performing Arts, and later the Jackie Gleason Theater. But 2017 is the tenth year the building at 1700 Washington Ave. has been known as the Fillmore Miami Beach. To mark the occasion...

Robert DiCrisci, CEO of the Miami-based pharmaceutical startup NextSource Biotechnology, was roundly criticized all over the world last week after the Wall Street Journal reported that NextSource had bought a 40-year-old brain-cancer drug and raised its maximum price to $768 per pill.
When you grow up here, you see Basel as a kind of abstract happening. It's something your rich friends get to go to while you're stuck at home prepping for Christmas and Hanukkah. Beyond the beaches and the walls of Wynwood, life goes on and celebrity sightings are nil. It's just another week, but with worse traffic.
Tracy Young’s 25-year career is a history lesson about Miami’s infamous house scene and the woman who spread it world-wide. It’s hard to imagine the legendary DJ—who has worked with Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, and Gloria Estefan—as anything but an electronica virtuoso. But Young decided to make beats knowing...

Thursday Don't let the stately new museums of mainstream musical artists food you. Miami culture is weird. It's always been weird. And weirdness will stay at the core of this town's ambiance as long as the International Noise Conference continues raging. Each year, Churchill's Pub hosts entire days full of...
Since 2015, Miami-Dade’s school district has been sending suspended students to off-campus sites, where they allegedly receive one-on-one instruction and counseling as an alternative to out-of-school suspensions. Two years later, district officials praise the program’s success, though little data is available to confirm it. However, this past month, local nonprofit Power U released a report that discredits these centers, calling them enablers of the school-to-prison pipeline. In most cases, students — predominantly black and Hispanic youth — were not only forced to sit in silence for hours every day but also struggled upon returning to the classroom.
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...
Deep in the Everglades, just off the Tamiami Trail, a seven-foot-wide propeller perched on an airboat violently slaps the wind. To drown out the deafening sound, Anastacia Dorst cups her hands tightly over her ears. Still, the narrow path of rippling water ahead feels more airport tarmac than wetland. The...
Since 1933, Flamingo Gardens in Davie has been home to South Florida's tallest tree — the Terminalia superba, otherwise known as the korina tree. Throughout the tree's lifetime, it has survived bolts of lightning, gunshot wounds, and even the wrath of Hurricane Wilma. Alas, the hearty behemoth was no match for Irma, a Category 4 storm that tore up South Florida September 10.
Despite, or probably because of, the density of its plot, Mr. Robot is almost more enjoyable if you don’t really know what’s going on

A roundup of ten cultural organizations you can support on Give Miami Day.
From Lana del Rey to Wigwood, these are the best things to do in Miami the week of February 1 through 7.
Florida finally has a champion to fight for the most unfairly treated group of people in America — white, Christian conservatives. Florida Rep. Joe Gruters filed a bill today that would add discrimination against "political affiliation" to the list of infractions Florida classifies as hate crimes, and though he insists the law would apply to both liberals and conservatives, Gruters' social media posts make it pretty clear which side he's worried about.
This weekend, Marco Rubio fell victim to Godwin's Law, the adage that, given enough time, every internet discussion will eventually devolve into an inappropriate comparison to the Nazis. Sadly, Rubio is actually a U.S. senator, so his insane comparison of the Iran nuclear deal to a Hitler-appeasing mistake is a bit more troubling than a Twitter user calling his enemy Goebbels.
Earlier this summer, natural gas began flowing through a new, 515-mile long pipeline from Alabama to Florida, quashing the hopes of thousands of environmentalists and activists who had fought against it. Then, within weeks, the Sabal Trail pipeline began leaking a smelly odorant up in North Florida. On Tuesday, those...

A few weeks before the November 2016 election, all 67 county elections supervisors in Florida got a call from the FBI with a warning: Hackers were trying to break into their voting systems. The FBI insisted no one had been hacked yet, but told supervisors they needed to be wary.
De Vries clearly remembers spending their two-hour date warding off Weinstein's advances. “I kept taking his hands off my legs,” she recalls.
As of 8 a.m. today, Hurricane Irma is still a record-shattering monster in the Atlantic. As the storm churns 15 miles west of Saint Martin, Irma packs 185 mph sustained winds and frighteningly low central pressure of 918 mb. Irma is pounding the Leeward Islands, has Puerto Rico and the Bahamas in its sights, and — as of now — still looks like a very real threat for Florida.
