Mira Nair’s Queen of Katwe is a true-life tale transformed into an inspirational fable. That’s not novel for the movies, but in this director’s hands, the results are mostly enchanting. The film follows Phiona Mutesi (Madina Nalwanga), an impoverished Ugandan girl who became a chess champion at the age of...

Jane Seo blazed across the finish line at last weekend's Fort Lauderdale Half Marathon with a stellar time of 1 hour 21 minutes. The professional New York food blogger's blistering 6:15-per-mile pace earned her second place among the thousands who raced. Seo paraded around the finish line while grinning and gripping a gaudy medal.
This time of year is supposed to be Miami's dry season. That definitely wasn't the case the second day of Ultra Music Festival 2017. Gray clouds hung over Bayfront Park and eventually drenched the festival. However, it wasn't exactly like last year's storm. In 2016, several performances were scrapped. This year, the show went on.
A pudgy man in a white lab coat, protective goggles, and a white hardhat ambles down several long rows of potted marijuana plants. An industrial A/C unit cranks frigid air into the capacious grow room, located inside a 300,000-square-foot warehouse just outside Tallahassee, while an array of high-pressure sodium lights...

This weekend, more than 1,300 boats will make their way to Virginia Key — by land and by sea — for the 76th edition of the Miami International Boat Show. For boat lovers, it’s a seafaring extravaganza. But not everyone is pleased about the arrival of the annual trade show.
Miami has seen a lull in Zika cases lately, which makes sense because it's low season for Florida's mosquitoes. But once the weather warms up, clouds of Aedes aegypti will return with the virus. Fighting the virus hasn't been easy. Pesticides aren't very effective and have run up against public pushback. But a new study says another problem has also hampered anti-Zika efforts: the flood of memes, #fakenews articles, and straight-up incorrect reporting that followed the virus.
Bands with a single common noun as their name are usually either attempting to remain obscure or have a shit idea of what makes for good marketing. Of course, that’s only true until they hit it big and bury both Merriam-Webster and Oxford in Google search results. British bands have...
Republicans claim to be a party of good old Christian values. They take photo-ops at church, post prayer psalms on Twitter, install unqualified Christian moonbats to run the Department of Education (See: DeVos Betsy), and quote Jesus in public whenever it's convenient. But despite the fact that Jesus spent about...
2016 has been awful for many, many different reasons. But one of the biggest turds fate has left on our pillows this year came in the form of the United States of America's presidential campaign. In the end, when the dust cleared and Marco Rubio finally agreed to stop playing...
The term "Latin music" could no doubt use a bit of updating. These days, it's a painfully vague descriptor, akin to asking someone if they enjoy "European music" — a genre that contains everything from Adele to German death techno. (That's probably a thing, right?) Luckily, few acts in the...

Miami is in the midst of the most spirited debate it's had regarding campaign-finance reform in years. Barring the results of legal appeals and a counter-suit filed this week, a group of activists has forced Miami-Dade County to let its citizens vote on a measure that would cut political donations...
The South Beach Wine & Food Festival has long regarded music as part of a successful weekend. Past headliners such as KC & the Sunshine Band and Ziggy Marley have rocked the tents. This year, several events seamlessly blur the lines between music and food. As William Shakespeare said: "If music be the food of love, play on."
Let's all take a moment to formally congratulate state Sen. Frank Artiles, who has long been one of Florida's worst politicians, for shooting himself directly in the foot and all but guaranteeing he'll never win an election again. After years of filing hateful, anti-LGBTQ bills, allegedly punching college kids in the face, smearing Black Lives Matter activists as terrorists...
Some artists reflect in their work the world they see around them. Others aim to change the world around them into a futuristic alternative. Over the past three decades, Phoebe Legere has proven herself to be the latter in her work as a singer, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and painter.
Red-light camera operators are the tow-truck drivers and repossession kings of today's drone-flying, surveillance-obsessed world. Camera companies place tiny, cheap lenses on traffic lights, wait for you to inch too far into an intersection, and cackle into the sky as they and the cities that hire them siphon a few hundred dollars from your wallet. The cameras themselves might not even be legal in Florida.
The Turkey Point nuclear plant sits on the southern edge of Miami-Dade, but that doesn't mean it's the only county affected by the Florida Power and Light plant. Last year, Miami-Dade officials sanctioned FPL and warned that the canals used to cool the plant's wastewater were leaking into Biscayne Bay. Radioactive materials were...

Miami's cross-bay bridges are a treasure. Some of the city's purest joy comes when you're careening over the Julia Tuttle or Rickenbacker Causeway with the windows down, watching Biscayne Bay sprawling out under you as you laugh maniacally at how cool your life is compared to your college friends' lives up north. It's a small joy Miamians get to experience year-round.
The best time of the week is finally here — the weekend. The next three days are filled with music, art, parties, and boozy beverages galore. From Coral Gables to Little Havana to South Beach, these are the best places to be until the sun comes up Monday morning.
Dr. Ivan Rusilko is a strong believer in the power of intravenous vitamin therapy. The Miami Beach physician, who's also a former model, two-time Mr. USA, and erotic-fiction novelist, custom-mixes IV concoctions he says can boost energy levels, improve sex lives, and strengthen immune systems.
Larry Flynt is, to say the least, one of the more polarizing figures in American entertainment history. The 74-year-old Kentucky native is the founder of the infamous Hustler, a porn magazine that since 1974 has pushed the boundaries of the public’s sensitives. It was his contribution to the porn industry that brought him wealth in the form of a diversified empire that now stretches into casinos, hotels, films, and retail outlets.
