"Rob has this ridiculous beard and it’s such great, self-effacing, wonderful work he’s doing," James Gray says about his film recounting the life of a British explorer who disappeared while pursuing his lifelong obsession with a mythical city in the Amazon.

Maybe you've waited until the last second to vote. Maybe you were first in line when the polls opened. Either way, you probably don't have an Election Day routine like Paco Palante in "Abuela Votes!" — a Miami-inspired PSA encouraging South Floridians of all ages to cast their ballots today.
Agustina Woodgate sits in the corner of a worn, old futon in her Little River studio, twirling a black glob of myrrh on a toothpick. She sparks the blob occasionally with a lighter, releasing fragrant spirals of smoke. Occasionally, when the incense heats up, she lays it on tiny gray...
In the pantheon of American First Ladies, Jacqueline Kennedy was no Eleanor Roosevelt. She didn’t push for policy, didn’t relinquish her pillbox hat to walk among the needy, didn’t travel to foreign countries as an ambassador and certainly didn’t advise her husband on matters of war. Jackie Kennedy’s role was...
Nearly a year after its launch, Danish-born, healthy fast-food concept Dr Smood is gearing up to open three more locations across Miami. In November, outposts are expected to open inside the Aventura Mall and the Brickell City Centre, followed by a Sunset Harbour shop (1800 Bay Rd., Suite #3) in...

Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk is a small film burdened with the epic, thanks to both its subject and its setting. Based on Ben Fountain’s 2012 novel, it depicts a day in the life of a young soldier (Joe Alwyn) briefly returning from Iraq to be honored with his squad...
Florida's anti-pot lobby is back. And just like in 2014, it's spreading straight-up lies about medical marijuana to try to frighten voters. Two years ago, Amendment 2 netted 58 percent of the vote — just short of the 60 percent it needed to pass. That result likely had something to do...
Move over, South Beach. Miami has a new tourist destination, and it's not yet universally despised by locals. Just five years ago, Wynwood was the kind of place you wanted to be too long after dark. Then artists began moving in, opening galleries, and putting up murals. Soon the relatively small area became a much desired locale for real-estate developer Tony Goldman, the same man who helped turn South Beach and New York City's SoHo into hoppin', shoppin' centers of cultural interest.
Thursday Anthropological studies need not be reserved for remote tribes and dead civilizations. The unique and diverse milieu of Miami citizens is rife with opportunity for the study of exotic plumage and strange customs. "Tropical Wildlife" will put these studies on display with portraits of our city's fair populace taken...
Donald Trump lied far more often than it seemed during last night's presidential debate. Sure, he was called out for his obvious untruths, like misstating his initial support for the Iraq War, and pretending that crime is at epidemic-level rates when it's actually hitting a low point. But he wasn't...
Last year, Commissioner Juan Zapata got caught using his $930,000 office budget to pay for a $30,000 master’s degree from Harvard, justifying it by saying his constituents would benefit from his continued education. That excuse didn't go over so well. Within days, Zapata was outed by reporter Erika Carrillo of Univision and subsequently...

Since classes started this year, Miami Dade schools have tried desperately to keep kids away from the deadly Zika virus. They've handed out bug spray, encouraged long pants and shirts, and monitored for mosquito breeding grounds. So it was curious to see a proposal from school board member and county...
The weekend of October 7 looms large for Roberto Carlos Lange, better known onstage as Helado Negro. On top of dropping his latest LP and coming off a string of tour dates opening for Sufjan Stevens, the singer-songwriter will also perform at III Points, the Wynwood music festival famous for...
Thousands of Miamians have taken to the streets since last week to protest Donald Trump. By all accounts, they've been entirely peaceful. Miami Police Commander Albert Guerra even took to Twitter after a Wynwood protest on Saturday to "thank the protesters for peacefully exercising their [First Amendment] right." But the Miami...
Celebrating the first anniversary of the Bridge Cocktail Lounge — which has become a permanent part of the Local after its insanely popular one-month pop-up — Thompson and Albuerne have developed 11 drinks to help bring a little winter wonderland to Miami palates now through April.
For days after Hurricane Matthew battered the coast of Haiti Tuesday, October 4, people living in the country's most remote areas looked for ways to communicate with the outside world. With cell towers down, they couldn't talk to faraway loved ones or send photos of the damage. Journalists from all over the world parachuted in to survey the destruction in larger cities such as Port-au-Prince, but accessing rural villages was out of the question at that point.
Well, here we are. It's been 17 months since Donald Trump announced his candidacy by declaring that Mexican immigrants are criminals and rapists. It's also been two days since the FBI announced it won't charge Clinton for her deleted emails, but those last 48 hours somehow managed to feel longer...

Each Saturday morning, Tawin Thongsodchareondee rose early in his hometown of Phuket, Thailand, and loaded a tall dented pot with a pig's backbone, mounds of pork trotters, and chicken feet. As it boiled, he made fresh rice noodles before cleaning pigs' livers, stomachs, and kidneys. Then he'd stuff pig intestines...
There is a new high-protein energy bar on the market thanks to a pair of Miamians. Shanti Bar, a handheld snack packed with power and flavor, is now available on shelves at South Florida Whole Foods Markets. Even U.S. soccer star Hope Solo gives the product a thumbs-up.
The Handmaiden, Korean director Park Chan-wook’s Gothic lesbian tale of romance, revenge and (light) bondage, is the kind of electrifying indulgence only he can make. The film is a loose adaptation of Welsh novelist Sarah Waters’ 2002 thriller Fingersmith, about a female pickpocket who poses as a maid for a...
In the wake of the Ferguson unrest — and after years of questionable police-involved shootings in South Florida — the Miami Police Department began equipping its officers with body cameras in late 2014. The cameras, officials promised, would lead to more transparency and better policing.
