We’re well into summer, but it’s “snowtime” in Miami. No, Hell hasn’t frozen over… yet. It’s the return of Slava’s Snowshow to the Magic City. After a record-breaking run at the Ziff Ballet Opera House five years ago, the production is back following sold-out engagements in Buenos Aires, Mexico City,…
We can all agree that summer is pretty awesome. Even if you’re a “grown up” who doesn’t go to school anymore, summers are always that much sweeter than the rest of the year. And for Miamians, it can sometimes feel like summer all year round. But summertime is also hurricane…
It was like Flashback Friday on last night’s episode of Dexter. “Every Silver Lining” opened with an old video of a handsomely dressed Harry talking to a hidden-from-view Dr. Vogel. Harry recounts the first time he snuck Dexter onto a crime scene. Dexter was only ten years old when he…
Summer is here! And while for some that might mean beach adventures and hours spent toasting in the sun, for others it’s convention season. While some folks attend conventions as mere mortals, it’s always more fun to let your super hero – or super geek – alter-ego come out to…
Elijah Wood is a Maniac.The original Maniac hit theaters in 1980, and quickly became a slasher classic by heralding a new era in on-screen depravity. The grimy, gritty film about a serial killer who scalps women and collects mannequins famously depicted a close-up of a shotgun blast to the head,…
The season eight premiere of Dexter aired on Showtime on June 30 over here in the states, but in the UK, its airing date is set for Sunday, July 7, on FOX. The beginning of the end is certainly a cause for celebration, and there’s no better way to celebrate…
“The end begins.” Those are the first words you see on the screen, stained with blood spatter — a la Dexter. When the harmless fly lands on Dexter’s arm and you hear a clap, Dex’s familiar morning routine fills the screen. After locking the apartment door and giving that coy…
Ever wonder what it’s like inside the mind of a serial killer? Well, without Dexter’s brilliant voice-over narration, we really wouldn’t know. But take away his story telling, and how can you get to know Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall)? One way of finding out is by looking at his…
With Friday’s release of The Heat (Sandra Bullock, Melissa McCarthy), another buddy cop movie joins a film library filled with explosions, oddball pairings and broad humor. While the genre’s been compacted into a cliche over the years (especially immediately following its heyday in the late ’80s and early ’90s), and…
Inside Mitrani Warehouse in Wynwood, a Miami filmmaker has assembled a mixture of what is reality and what is representation. The Screening Room, Rhonda Mitrani’s gallery-within-a-gallery, is a new space for video artists and filmmakers to exhibit their art. The Screening Room opened May 16 with the video work exhibition…
With the final season of Dexter quickly approaching — it starts this Sunday! — it’s only fitting to pay tribute to the city where it all began: our vibrant Miami. Even though Dexter himself (Michael C. Hall) says in the pilot: “Miami is a great place for me, great place…
When it comes to social media, celebrities tend to fall into one of several categories. You have your wacky comedy types like George Takei, posting funny pictures. You have your obsessively perfect celebs (ahem, Beyonce) whose every Instagram photo is expertly framed and filtered. And then you have the oversharers…
On my final day in Basel, I would be remiss if I didn’t do a little storytelling and share with you what goes on behind the scenes. Unlike Miami, only a few satellites — SCOPE, Volta, and Liste — attempt to compete with the main Art Basel fair in Basel…
Two things have become quite obvious to me on this trip to Basel: 1. I need more wall space and 2. If I’m going to continue being an art writer, I need to get a very rich boyfriend. When one’s favorite Gerhard Richter at Dominique Levy sells for $25,000,000 before…
Today was the day I ate my words. Gagosian, please forgive me. Hauser & Wirth, keep building. Every terrible thing I’ve ever said about oversized galleries with big bank accounts? I take it back. You are now my reason for being, my everything, because without your support of artists in…
To say that Art Basel has become significant for Miami is a bit of an understatement. Do we even remember what Miami was like before this major event elevated it from vacation destination to cultural hot spot? Those of us that had never been exposed to million dollar art suddenly…

Los Amigos Invisibles With Mr. Pauer and Me vs. Murphy Grand Central, Miami Saturday June 8, 2013 Over the weekend, just as Venezuelan party band Los Amigos Invisibles promised, the crowd at Grand Central in Miami was left “sweating from so much dancing.” The fiesta started with DJ-producer Mr. Pauer…
