Of all the historic masterworks in the Shakespeare canon, Antony and Cleopatra might be the least likely play to appear in a given company's season, for a simple reason: It's really hard to do. The play, written in 1606, dramatizes nothing less than the collapse of Rome's triumvirate and the...
What becomes a legend most? After prolonged incubation, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom offers the biopic's usual reply: legend itself. Bigger, louder, more expensive legend, brought to bear by the best talents and technologies of the day. The name Nelson Mandela has long been shorthand for the things Mandela shows...

Warhol versus Wookies
Welp. That about wraps 'er up. On Sunday, the Dolphins completed one of the most disappointing, weirdest, deflating and confounding seasons in Dolphins history (no small achievement, all things considered) by once again coming out largely flat and lifeless against a division rival. The Dolphins fell to the Jets 20-6...
It's Christmastime again! It's that time of the year when the weather gets colder and the people get warmer (generally), and when red and green become the most popular colors around town (and on ladies' fingernails). The radio stations start playing that jolly Christmas music, and the cheesy - yet...

Based on the increasing frequency of "Art Basel" Google Alerts in our inbox, Miami's art extravaganza is fast approaching. Which means the city's artists are working like elves before Christmas to churn out as many masterpieces as possible, and the artists of Little Havana are no exception. This year, area...
Dear Elian, I'm writing to offer you a bit of the wisdom that was passed down to me by my Cuban abuelos, because after reading your comments in the interview you recently gave on the heels of your trip to Ecuador, I think it's the least I can do for...
The poker player's white Nikes had just hit the concrete outside New York's John F. Kennedy Airport the night before Thanksgiving. The sky was bruising over with twilight. Terminal 5 was a hectic holiday beehive of passengers hustling for last-minute JetBlue hops. And there was Eric Riley, Jamaican-born, 32 years...

Toxic Ash Closes Douglas Park
At the end of a leafy, dead-end street in Coconut Grove, past actor Christian Slater's new digs and the sprawling grounds of Hollywood director David Frankel's home, sit mounds of rubble. Just a few days ago, this was one of Miami's grandest, most envied private homes: the five-acre, 26,000-square-foot du...
Don't tell Kenton Parker that love means never having to say you're sorry. On the contrary. For the 45 year-old West Coast artist, apologies when sincere are the weft and weave of romantic purity. During a recent visit to Primary Projects' sprawling new space in Downtown Miami, Parker was knee...

Back in 2011, we here at Crossfade included Terre Thaemlitz, AKA DJ Sprinkles, on our list of the World's Least Douchey DJs. It was a nod to her longstanding work as an educator and activist promoting awareness of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender issues. Like many others, we'd first gotten...
The University of Miami's main library is currently being evacuated after a bomb threat. Campus security issued an emergency alert at 10:28 a.m. this morning. A university spokesman confirmed the evacuation but did not provide further details on the threat. UPDATE: Cops have finished sweeping the library and given the...
Last week, the Dolphins saved their season and maybe a lot of jobs; this week, the Dolphins went back to their Dolphins ways. Today, the team is what the record says -- a below-average group that lacks the proper coaching, players, and toughness to pull off wins once it has...
Solemn as a funeral march, humorless as your junior high principal, as Japanese as a grocery-store California roll, Keanu Reeves's let's-mope-about-and-kill-ourselves samurai drama has exactly three things going for it. First, the cockeyed sensuality of Rinko Kikuchi as a spider-puking evil witch who can transform herself into a fox, a...
Uncle Luke, the man whose booty-shaking madness made the U.S. Supreme Court stand up for free speech, gets as nasty as he wants to be for Miami New Times. Today, Luke basks in his candidate's victory. Miami's African American community did something historic last night, electing the youngest city commissioner...
The Federal Food Drink & Provisions has revamped its menu, leaving only three classic dishes behind. Don't worry. Their "biskits" -- recently named best in America by Food & Wine -- are still available. In his new take, chef Cesar Zapata combines Houston, Texas, with a 1930s steak-house motif. The...

On one side, there's the billion-dollar cruise industry and Key West's powerful chamber of commerce sinking thousands of dollars into a campaign to convince islanders to dredge 17 acres of sea floor to allow larger ships and thousands more tourists to visit. On the other, environmentalists, preservationists, and their leader...
For years we have thought the Miami Hurricanes were South Florida's bad boys. Turns out we were wrong. Those seemingly straight-arrow Dolphins are really a big-money fraternity gone wrong. The team suspended guard Richie Incognito Sunday for detrimental behavior. He is part of the Dolphins' six-player "leadership council" and was...
If there's one thing worse than dumb reality television, it's the dumb reality television scandal. We place nobodies who might be better off keeping their opinions to themselves on a national stage because they're a whole lot of odd and a little delightfully stupid, and then act all scandalized when...
