Review – Bring You to Your Knees: A Tribute to Guns & Roses
Artist: Various Artists
Movie: Ella Enchanted
Our Rating: 0.00 If you picked the four dimmest attendees at a Renaissance fair and told them to go remake “The Princess Bride,” you’d get something like this cloying stomach-churner, which uses fairy-tale settings and characters to effect a simple-minded satire of modern-day girl power. The pitch: The fair Ella of Frell (Anne Hathaway) wants…

Artist: Various Artists
Mideast conflict
There are freshly painted peach-colored murals on the walls at Tony’s Deli, with new printed menus to match. And that’s good news to customers of the Middle Eastern stronghold on Mills Avenue that dates back to 1977. There are many faithful followers, as proved by Tony’s multiple wins in Orlando Weekly’s annual Best of Orlando…

Review – You Are Being Videotaped

Room with a view and red gravy
As the sun set behind him, a voracious jet-skier was yahooing while he churned up the water on Lake Ivanhoe. On the water and off, dusk is a great time of day to enjoy the view from Gaston Edwards Park, off Orange Avenue — the downtown skyline stands in shadow against the natural light. So…

Like a piece of fresh pita, stuff yourself
There are freshly painted peach-colored murals on the walls at Tony’s Deli, with new printed menus to match. And that’s good news to customers of the Middle Eastern stronghold on Mills Avenue that dates back to 1977. There are many faithful followers, as proved by Tony’s multiple wins in Orlando Weekly’s annual Best of Orlando…
Playboy 50th anniversary tour and welcoming a new Sentinel editor
When we caught wind that Playboy was bringing its 50th Anniversary tour to press its dirty pillows against the windows of The Club at Firestone, we were naturally offended. Not so much because of the blatant propagation of soft-lit sexual fantasy, but because — and everybody knows this — Orlando Weekly is completely and totally…
God don’t make no junk
In early March 1865, one of the final battles of the Civil War was fought at a small southern Virginia crossroads known as Five Forks, in a fiercely rural locale called Dinwiddie County. Scarcely 40 years later, with the social and economic impact of the war still fresh on the minds of those who fought…
Sticky situations
Even though Armistead Burwell Smith IV might be something of a recluse, don’t let him make you believe he’s a technophobe. “We have to watch out that the computer doesn’t take over,” he warns. “Sometimes it’s like a member of the band.” There is an edge of paranoia in his voice, but Armistead Burwell (who…
Say it ain’t so
James Brown, Elton John, Marvin Gaye, Howlin’ Wolf, The Who, Bob Marley … Weezer. Excuse me? Given the status of all the albums that Universal has seen fit to bestow “Deluxe Edition” status on, the self-titled “Blue Album” debut from Weezer seems an odd choice. Sure, it sold a few million copies and sure, it…
Get the point?
“I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to points. I thought, ‘Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn’t, then there’s a point to it.'” — Harry Nilsson Like many kids,…
Smooth talking
In an episode of News Radio, Joe Rogan tells Stephen Root’s Jimmy James character that there is one word that makes judges have to side with you. He explains that all judges belong to a secret order, and if they hear this word, they are obligated to find in your favor, and then leave the…
Hold the mayo
It comes as no surprise to me that I’m currently in the business of crafting pilgrimages out of virtually nothing. You know, like mid-’90s, fat, almost-celebrity-stalking nothing. My friends and I — two girls, a boy, no sexual affiliation therein, tellingly — are drifting around our local elbow of Lake Eola to get to The…
Big ups
If a desperate moment turns into the right moment … will you be ready? You’re a guy. Your needs are simple and few. But vacationing alone is enough to get anybody down. Six days and nights of coming back to an empty hotel room, only to flick on the tube and be bombarded with ads…
News of the Weird
Well, my friends, spring has sprung, the grass is rising, and the birds and the bees are doing whatever it is they do. There’s so much going on in the sporting world that it would be unfair to focus on just one element. So, like Marshall Mathers before me … I’m cleaning out my closet.…
I’m gay and I (kinda) like Bush
Orange County’s Charter Review Commission isn’t used to an audience, much less applause. Its meetings are long, tedious and usually devoid of spectators. The issues — what to call the county chairman, what to do if a commissioner is called to war or dies, whether or not to have partisan elections, etc. — aren’t sexy.…
This deal is a tURD
When we last left the debacle of Pepperhill Park `Problems in Pepperhill Park, March 25`, a city selection committee had sent a letter to Urban Renaissance Development, LLC demanding that the development company produce a plan slightly more in touch with reality for building townhouses on a chunk of property in Parramore. URD, you may…
