As you might have guessed and/or feared, Will Gluck’s screen adaptation of Peter Rabbit departs fairly significantly from Beatrix Potter’s beloved children’s tales. But though the film insists on its own irreverence a bit too much at the outset — it opens with a group of birds inspirationally singing, “You’re only as small as your dreams,” before they get abruptly knocked out of the sky — it offers plenty of lively fun once it settles down, and wisely keeps the pandering to a minimum.

An average renter household in the Magic City needs $1,558 saved to break even after the holidays.
It's an unusually cool August night in downtown Miami, and the hum of cars racing past on the nearby MacArthur Causeway is muted by a boisterous crowd wearing sky-high platform shoes, glitter, and heavy eyeliner. Close to 1 a.m., as the horde cracks hand fans, Jupiter Velvet, bathed in a...
Attorney Stephanie Langer has a saying for the enormous challenge of taking on a school district that's failed a special-needs student: It's like being "a gnat on the side of a cruise ship." Even with a strong case, a parent is in for a gruelingly long and expensive battle against a heavily lawyered system.
In a pivotal scene of the 1978 kung fu classic The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, the protagonist poses an existential question: “Do men have a right to say what they believe in? Or must they always do what the government says?” It’s a simple line that has come to define the film’s overarching theme — the oppressed versus the oppressor — and one that resonates with the multitalented artist RZA 40 years later.
Over the weekend, the second edition of House of Creatives Music Festival took place on Virginia Key, bringing indie favorites such as Metronomy and WhoMadeWho, as well as beloved crossover acts Alt-J, Washed Out, and MGMT. Turbulent weather made enjoyment of the last act — the weekend’s most anticipated performance — difficult. Rainfall and the threat of lightning strikes forced MGMT to take the stage more than an hour after the band's scheduled time, resulting in a set that was as short as it had been anticipated.

Most attorneys don't deserve the bad rap their profession has gotten. But when a lawyer hires an unlicensed doctor to help sell fake marijuana certificates for $800 apiece that supposedly give people legal cover to grow weed, he has earned a bit of that ugly reputation. And once SWAT teams start kicking those clients' doors down and hauling them off to jail, it's probably time that lawyer lost his license.
The absolute worst thing you can ask Florida's current cadre of politicians to do is solve a problem. Tallahassee is, by design, filled with barely literate Cro-Magnons who basically just put their name on whatever bill a lobbyist places between them and a free sandwich. Floridians saw the worst of...

Over the past two years, the mobile apps that put almost any dish a couch-bound eater could want within a moderate wait has also put Miami restaurants in a pickle.
Robbie Elias was about to quit the music business when his father-in-law suggested he watch a music documentary. "It had Phil Spector in it," Elias recollects. "He started talking about making the Ronettes song 'Be My Baby.' It got me digging into soul and pop music from the '60s." After...

Imagine thoroughbred racing at its most idyllic, and you’d arrive at Keeneland Race Course on the outskirts of Lexington, Kentucky. The parking lots are made not of asphalt, but of grass. Early arrivals tailgate not by sipping Bud Light, but cups of brown liquor, likely procured at one of several...
Any given night, a stroll through the streets of downtown Miami feels like a walk through a dystopian wasteland. Abandoned storefronts in forgotten buildings line dimly lit sidewalks; displaced bodies litter alleyways, their makeshift bedrooms haphazardly strewn under overhangs. It's not hard to imagine the area as the scene of a futuristic nightmare despite the best intentions of city officials and developers aiming to make downtown the next epicenter of luxury in Miami.
Few pockets of Miami-Dade are more hellishly clogged with hair-rending traffic than West Kendall. So passions ran hot when Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez held a town hall there yesterday. Fresh off a trip to China, where Gimenez cooled on his dreams of a new high-tech bus system, the county mayor was...
Gun-toting thugs are besieging Miami-Dade's inner-city neighborhoods, and county cops are missing in action. Since early December, more than a dozen people, including children, have been shot in unincorporated parts of Northwest Miami-Dade. Five of the victims are dead. On January 3, two others were fatally gunned down in Liberty City and Little Haiti.
Among the many ways Irma blew South Florida’s cover as being unprepared for a major hurricane is the infuriatingly slow return of cell and internet service, a situation that has resulted in tens of thousands of people being unable to reach family, friends, and loved ones, let alone go online, for days.
Inside a rundown Lauderhill strip mall sits Hair and Such, Nothing but Wings II, and the Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office, where ballots are being recounted in three closely watched statewide elections.

A recent meme popularized (maybe even created) by music writer Dan Ozzi poses as a multiple-choice survey. The query is as follows: "You’re a punk dude over 30. Choose your path: CrossFit, barbershop culture, craft beer, MMA, Facebook rants, enamel pins, Tinder creeping.” Funny and topical, sure, but also timely because it forces into perspective the aging environs of South Florida’s punk-rock third wave.
Today, Orangetheory Fitness is the fastest-growing women-owned company in the U.S., an exercise phenomenon with 750 studios and half a million members. But it started much more humbly, when Ellen Latham began offering Pilates classes in a spare room at her Pembroke Pines house. The year was 1996, and Latham,...
Hope you're planning on some barbecue at Tortuga Music Festival this year, 'cause it's a straight-up sausage fest.
These days, the U.S. Army predominantly recruits from Southern states. According to 2013 enlistment data, Georgia and Florida have two of the nation's highest per-capita rates of locals joining the Army. However, a study released earlier this month by researchers at the Citadel, one of the military's major universities, issues a warning.
