Jeff McInnis and Janine Booth's long-awaited Stiltsville Fish Bar opens tonight in Miami Beach's Sunset Harbour neighborhood.
Miamians don't have as many arthouses as those spoiled cineastes in New York City, but movie fans in the 305 have plenty to look forward to when it comes to film festivals. Though local celebrations of cinema don't garner the same glamour as Sundance or Tribeca, they’re very good at inclusivity.
Adam Sandler’s core as a performer has always been his self-loathing. In his best comedies, he weaponizes it with humiliating ruthlessness. (In his worst ones, it wafts pathetically off him like the day-after stink of a drunkard.) Now, he’s given the performance of his life in Noah Baumbach’s free-spirited and...

In 2010, the Florida Housing Finance Corporation, a state body that loans money to build affordable housing, flunked an Atlanta developer called the American Opportunity Foundation (AOF) "due to past defaults, assignments, bankruptcies, or foreclosures" issued against the company's properties in years past. As of 2010, state regulators warned that 22 of the 80 loans listed on the foundation's report at the time were in default, so "AOF is not considered an acceptable general partner."
Filmmaking is not a poor man’s game. Even as digital cameras get cheaper, making a film worthy of release still requires dough to get off the ground, which means the folks who tell stories through cinema tend to come from backgrounds of privilege. That breeds movies aimed at middle- to...
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...

Richard Rodriguez checked the $97,000 Rolex on his wrist again. A crowd milled outside the gate at Miami International Airport, waiting for boarding that was supposed to have begun five minutes ago for an early-morning flight to L.A. What was the holdup? The 37-year-old gym rat with a razored scalp...
Today, legal marijuana flourishes in fields and greenhouses from Homestead to Tallahassee.

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.
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...

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...
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.
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.
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.
