Multi-hyphenate actor Clark Gregg understands that hard work and perseverance don’t necessarily pay off in Hollywood. Since moving to Los Angeles in 1992, the star of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has directed two feature films and scripted three, none of which are the work he’s best known for. Gregg knows…

One of the biggest selling points of 21 Jump Street, the 2012 TV-remake comedy, turned out to be its seemingly unscripted lunacy, the way it put Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill in police-shorts outfits and let them riff on their characters’ mutual ineptitude. Sometimes you need a little flapdoodle, and…
As a rising blues musician, Gina Sicilia is leaving her mark with her soulful voice that bellows influences of country, Americana, R&B, and pop music. Her voice has generated a reputation as a dynamic roots-music vocalist. Sicilia has made appearances at some of the biggest blues festivals in North America,…
Whether you think you’re into it or not, fashion is a big part of how we define ourselves. Even those who throw on a T-shirt and a pair of shorts every day are making a statement of some sort — it’s the “I’m too busy, too cool, or too hungover…
This Saturday night, South Florida’s premier gay and lesbian wind ensemble invites audiences to revel in the moonlight with its production A Little Night Music. While most will recognize the title (an English translation for Mozart’s Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major) from the popular romantic Broadway musical…
A good laugh can go a long way, especially when you’re in the weeds and especially when you’re watching Kevin Nealon on the epic HBO series that paints him as a stoned accountant and business advisor. But you don’t have to get your Nealon fix by just watching the show;…
Sunday will be your last chance to catch the comedy Captain and Co., which debuts at World & Eye Arts Center this Saturday at 8 p.m. The local play is written and directed by Helen Reynolds and chronicles three quirky characters — Captain, Pip, and Og — and their travels…
Do you generally prefer knowledge of the universe to be delivered to you in a sultry yet confident drawl spoken by a fine mustached gentleman? Same here. (Because Neil Degrasse Tyson is everything!) Alas, it is the summertime rerun cycle, so if you still want your fix of the Cosmos,…

On your Florida bucket list — somewhere between shaking paws with the six-toed Hemingway cats and seeing the mermaids perform at Weeki Wachee — should be a late-night walk to witness a female loggerhead sea turtle lay her eggs. If you haven’t crossed it off your list yet, you need…

It’s easy to forget, in our enlightened and accepting times, that until just 40 years ago, homosexuality was treated as a sexual disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), the guidebook for mental health professionals. Back in 1974, the decision to remove it from the DSM was so controversial…
“‘Home’ — what I’ve come to see working with artists and the special-needs community is that you can’t say that word without getting a visceral reaction from people.” That’s what Jill Slaughter, curator of special projects for the City of Pembroke Pines, quickly discovered when organizing the third-annual “The Sincerity…
We’re still adjusting to Seth MacFarlane as a big-screen star. Not just because his breakneck absurdist humor often demands viewers pause and rewind, but because the man himself looks like a hand-inked cartoon, with his black, pupil-less eyes and an alabaster baby face that, lacking cheekbones that could carve in…
Boil Maleficent down to one newt’s nose-size piece of advice and you’d get this: Don’t dump Angelina Jolie. It’s not a problem most mortals will face, but as seen through director Robert Stromberg’s lens, the antlered arch-villain of Sleeping Beauty is a sympathetic scorned woman, equal parts Gloria Gaynor, Princess…
A romance ripped from the pages of Deuteronomy, Frank Coraci’s Blended posits that the best reason for a woman with sons and a man with daughters to get married is that they can take care of each other’s kids. Quel pragmatisme! In the world of this sitcom love story, men…

You may not need a new excuse to visit independent music store Radio-Active Records, but you probably need a justification for hanging out inside the shop for as long as you do — fondling all the new releases, peeking over cute customers’ shoulders to see what they’re flipping through, and…
