Enjoy a girls’ night out with friends and…
First there are the spray tans and flawless Vaseline smiles, followed by the banana hammocks, perfectly waxed six-pack abs, and the strict and steady diet of egg-white protein shakes and abstinence. For as many stereotypes as we can lob at the professional sports modeling industry, it is with a bit…
You may consider yourself the ultimate locavore. You shop at locally owned boutiques. You bank at a credit union. The only restaurants you frequent are independently owned and operated — no chains, obviously. You buy food from within the state, produce from within the tricounty borders. You buy only locally…
Turn your World Cup frenzy into real-world aspirations this Saturday when South Florida’s premier professional soccer team, the Fort Lauderdale Strikers, hosts open tryouts for its upcoming fall season. Perhaps you have all the makings of the next Neymar Jr. or Lionel Messi and just haven’t lived up to your…
World-renowned Michael Godard, nicknamed the “Rock Star of the Art World,” will be exhibiting his latest collection in Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale on Saturday.

Whether it’s cancer, chronic pain, seizures, or glaucoma, most of us have someone in our lives who could benefit from the legalization of marijuana. (There are also those who would argue that marijuana should just be legalized outright, but that’s another cause for another day.) If your issue is one…
The ’80s were a great decade for millions of reasons: neon spandex, matching scrunch socks, big crimped hair, hair metal, those decorative plastic things that were used on the bottom of T-shirts. While we love everything that you could possibly imagine about the fashion, the music (hello, Bon Jovi) and…
Some causes are worth celebrating for an entire month. June is Pride Month, a 30-day-long chance to raise awareness for LGBTQ rights. The bevy of events on the calendar to celebrate prove there are more ways to recognize Pride Month than marching in a parade. One group in particular is…
The Rover, Australian filmmaker David Michôd’s followup to the brutish family drama Animal Kingdom, is a postapocalyptic Western from the Outback, a stretch of land that already looks like the world has been blown away. All Michôd needs to convince us of the devastation is a title card pegging the…
If you think summer movies are clamorous, try a current Broadway musical. Watching Jersey Boys onstage is like soldiering through some extreme-eating contest where you’re force-fed dessert for three hours. It’s all falsetto heroics and hustled-through character drama, every beat of every scene overscored, overrehearsed, and overbearing. And it’s often…
Recently, Star Wars fans, along with much of the planet’s pop-culture collective, nearly ruptured the internet in their enthusiasm to share set-building photos from next year’s long-awaited new feature film. But these weren’t shots of just any set. They depicted the construction of the Millennium Falcon. You’ve never heard of…
Ravenous is a film-shaped UFO: It’s so delightfully weird that its very existence defies logic. Imagine a film that makes A Modest Proposal–style satire out of Dracula’s gothic horror tropes in the spaghetti western milieu of The Great Silence. It’s a pitch-black comedy about Manifest Destiny and cannibal frontiersmen. Set…
“Wherever you live in this world, basically . . . you are alone. Even if [we] have support systems, we’re really alone.” Those words, shorn of sentimentality, are offered—and received—as motherly balm in the documentary When I Walk. Filmmaker Jason DaSilva, having turned his camera on himself to capture the…
Katrin Gebbe’s Nothing Bad Can Happen is a gutting German drama that asks if martyrs can be accomplices to their own torture. Its modern saint is a homeless teenager named Tore (Julius Feldmeier), a born-again punk rocker who rolls with a group called the Jesus Freaks. He doesn’t attend an…
If you’ve ever fought off insomnia by watching 4 a.m. infomercials (or an MSNBC special on the life of Mark Zuckerberg), you’ve likely experienced that bubbling gut reaction to someone else’s seemingly silly but lucrative idea — “Ugh, that’s so simple… why didn’t I think of that?!” The thing is,…
Gooooooooaaaaaalllll! That familiar, ever-lingering howl coming out of living rooms across the globe can mean only one thing: The World Cup frenzy in Brazil has begun. The quintessential quadrennial event that is planet Earth’s number-one sports competition took over television screens last week. For most of us, however, a visit…
Drawing inspiration from books by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Amado Mio is an Italian show written and directed by Massimo Stinco that encapsulates nostalgia, adventure, thrill, war, music, and sexuality all in one. The story follows a teacher and his three students during the summer of 1944 as they escape WWII…
For all of the modern products and procedures aimed at making the section of a woman’s body between the breast and hip bone shrink, harden, or just disappear from view altogether, there is an equally powerful alternative dance movement working to reclaim the belly region as a visible source of…
An accurate re-creation of the Beatles’ album Abbey Road will be presented instrumentally Friday by a traveling ensemble.

Anniversaries tend to be more of an excuse to celebrate, but for Amanda Linton and her tattooing hubby, J.R., they truly have a reason to throw a party and invite everyone in town. They have created a special place with Ink & Pistons, one that not only creates some of…
If you’ve realized during beach volleyball games that your skills aren’t quite up to par with what you’d like, you can refine them or take some tips from the pros at the Dig the Beach Open Volleyball Tournament on Fort Lauderdale Beach this Saturday and Sunday. The event is open…
Everyone loves a birthday party. You get to drink, dance, eat, drink, and eat some more. In our estimation, few occasions are more enjoyable than that. Whether it’s for your 1-year-old nephew (even better because it’s not your kid), your 21-year-old cousin (just make sure you leave before the vomiting…
