Review – Liberation
Artist: Karsh Kale
Movie: Bad Boys II
Our Rating: 3.00 As Michael Bay movies go, this one’s a real Michael Bay movie: hyperviolent, coarse, misogynistic, homophobic, boldly derivative, unforgivably long and blithely oblivious to the sanctity of human life. (Corpses as comedic props!) It also has just about the best car chase ever captured on screen, a high-octane opera of pursuit in…

Born and razed
Mixing the inspiration of early ’80s hardcore with a healthy dose of sonic chaos, New Mexican Disaster Squad’s brand of punk rock is somewhat at odds with the ska, pop-punk and metalcore that dominates the Orlando scene. And the band’s relatively low local profile is a testament to that. Only occasionally popping up on bills…
Remembering the hunger
Watching George W. Bush go all doe-eyed apologist in the Congo last week really did something to me. Well, it made me look away. But, inevitably, the birthing of the fantastic phrase, “George W. Bush’s African Tour,” pulled me back, way back, to thoughts of a tour T-shirt with a giant guitar shaped like Africa…
Felch me baby, one more time
Dear Tiger Beat reader: Whassup, girlfriend? We don’t always get the chance to chew the fat together, you and us. But this is one of those times when a heart-to-heart seems totally necessary. Which is why — after mucho soul-searching, we promise — we decided to take one page away from our hunkalicious Ashton Kutcher…
This is a bust
Motorist Catherine Donkers got a ticket in Portage County, Ohio, on May 8 for not having her baby strapped in, mainly because she was breast-feeding it while she drove. Rather than pay the $100 fine, Donkers’ husband, Brad Barnhill, demanded a trial with himself as the defendant, in that his First Christian Fellowship for Eternal…
An immodest proposal
After spending a few hours watching the mayor’s Downtown Strategic Transition Team plod through the business of how to revitalize downtown, I’ve decided that I would rather be a hot-tar roofer in hell than have to sit on one of these committees. Not that anyone would ask, but pre-emptively, no thanks. There is simply too…
So long, Scott
Of all the personnel turnover at City Hall over the past six weeks, none has been more significant than the resignation of Scott Gabrielson, the silver-haired, boyish city attorney who turned 58 recently. Gabrielson’s last city commission meeting was June 23, when he was somewhat awkwardly asked to share the council bench with Wayne Rich,…
America, the cable channel
After 9/11, patriotism became the new fashion trend. The flag adorned SUVs and went on sale at McDonald’s. News anchors wore flag pins on their suits and TV news networks incorporated the stars and stripes into their logos. Later, during the buildup to the war in Iraq, conservatives wrapped themselves in the flag anew, questioning…
Malicious prosecution
At about 10 a.m. on Nov. 14, a federal SWAT team swarmed the 10,000-square foot, $3 million Isleworth mansion of Jesse Issa Maali, a 57-year-old, Palestinian-born entrepreneur who made a fortune selling T-shirts to tourists on I-Drive. Coincidentally, It was the same month that Maali’s palatial, marble-floored home was featured on the cover of Orlando…
Caught on tape
See movie review. David Friedman, aka Silly Billy, is New York’s — and possibly the country’s — most famous children’s birthday party clown. Silly Billy has often been featured in fluffy articles, but there are things about his family’s past that are not fluffy at all. In the mid 1980s, the Friedmans of Great Neck,…
For crisp whites and light colors . . .
There are some great summertime wine values out there, and Tim Seaman at Gran Cru Wines (7730 W. Sand Lake Road; 407-226-3322) recommends some from unusual places. The Greek vineyard Boutari has been winning awards with its light, crisp wine made with Moschofilero grapes, what Seaman calls a “perfect summer white” at around $14. The…
Miami — and specifically…
Miami — and specifically Miami Beach — makes most normal people feel like helplessly parochial hicks. It’s what the city does best. All that tropical beauty, all those fast cars and all that hipper-than-thou architecture adds up to a severe sense of Dorothy-style disorientation. But it’s a sense that quickly passes when you realize that,…
Alright for kicks
They’re the punk-rock Beatles and the best British answer to the Ramones. Led by singer/guitarists Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle, the Buzzcocks spawned in the spunky aftermath of a Sex Pistols show. Their facility with melody, melded to a thundering, amphetamine sound, distinguishes them from their late-’70s punk brethren, helping create some of the best…
