The university announced in October that it would serve as the site for the Donald Trump-owned beauty pageant, a decision made ostensibly to raise the school's...
The new Brooklyn is generally derided as a wilderness of double-wide strollers, young men with the facial hair of Canadian loggers circa 1852, and artisanal everything. But in Wild Canaries, a modestly scaled murder mystery/comedy from writer/director/star Lawrence Michael Levine, today's Brooklyn is a place of danger and intrigue. Just...

Miami is best summed up by a series of floating images: half-naked babes slathering pounds of baby oil on South Beach, palm trees swaying in the sun, dudes playing dominos whilst smoking puros, and close-ups of the Cuban Sandwich. It is the quintessential Miami sandwich. While its roots have been...
No show wears its love for language and land more proudly than FX's Justified, which ended its six-year run this week. Based on a novella by Elmore Leonard and starring squinty-eyed sex symbol Timothy Olyphant, the hillbilly noir never received the critical adulation or the audience one might expect for...
Rememember James O'Keefe, he's the young right-wing troublemaker who briefly caused a national scandal that brought down ACORN back in 2009? He posed as a pimp, trying to elicit help from volunteers at the community organization in undercover videos. Yeah, that guy. He's still around, and his latest subject is...
When Peter Hook takes the stage at Grand Central this Friday night to perform the music of Joy Division, he will be playing on the same stage Peter Murphy performed his tribute to Bauhaus two years ago. Before Murphy took that stage, Miami New Times had a nice long chat...
It's not often we witness a film that has a sympathetic protagonist who happens to be a police officer, much less one that actually deserves the audiences' attention. But the South Korean film A Girl At My Door, is exactly that. Actress Bae Doona stars as the police chief of...
The proposals for a new supermall called American Dream Miami have caught international headlines, especially since the mega-project is set to include a roller-coaster, water park and even a ski-slope.

It's no secret that County Commissioner Xavier Suarez is gearing up a campaign for mayor. Now, the former city mayor's first real broadside at county hall is closer to heading to voters: a petition that would cap most county salaries at the same pay earned by Florida's Supreme Court Justices,...
George Gray, all five feet eight inches of him, flies up the court like a Chihuahua released from a cage. He bursts through midcourt, dribbling at hyperspeed, and weaves around two towering defenders near the goal. Just before slamming into another, an enormous center beneath the rim, he spins instinctively...
Food isn't all that makes a French brasserie. Sure, there's tangy cheese and the rich, peppery aroma of steak frites. But just as important is the frazzled waitress with a pack of cigarettes peeking from her purse. And then there are the throngs of caf�goers, who crowd the sidewalk to...
We take pride in our diversity here in Miami, and growing Little Haiti neighborhood is posed to be one of our city’s next hotspots.

The Claudia Quintet brings its signature sound to Miami Beach on Saturday as part of this year's Subtropics XXIII of music and sound art. "The great thing about this band is that it is unconventional music, but very accessible," says John Hollenbeck, who formed the group in 1997 in New...
A year ago, Telescope Thieves' Mario De Los Santos was feeling pretty lonely. "I always felt like the odd guy out," he says. "At the time, if you were a producer or a beat maker, you'd get booked for shows and be the only beat maker among guys with bands."...

When sexy bad boy, and self-proclaimed old man, Anthony Bourdain heads to your town, and invites nearly every person in town (unless you're in the media, ahem) to appear on his incredibly popular CNN show, Parts Unknown, you watch the goddamned thing when it airs. I figured as a sort...
Miami Seaquarium's resident orca, Lolita, may be one step closer to winning her freedom. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced today it has ruled to include her in the Endangered Species Act (ESA) listing of southern resident killer whales.
