Movie: Bringing Down the House
Our Rating: 0.00 White people sure are funny when they act like they’re down! At least that’s what Steve Martin is hoping as he slips into the loafers of a lonely attorney whose life is changed by a jailhouse mama (Queen Latifah).

Just testing
Here are some quick tips for those who don’t have an entire evening to kill at Seasons 52, the new “test” restaurant on Sand Lake Road from the Darden folks (Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Bahama Breeze). Don’t go there on a Friday night. Don’t go after 7:30 p.m. Don’t try to make a reservation; they’re…
The politics of grief
In February, when WKMG-TV Local 6 aired a “Problem Solvers” series titled “Choice to Grieve” that focused on the trauma endured by women who miscarried — complete with tear-jerking testimony — it was easy to be moved by their loss. Yet miscarriage in and of itself wasn’t the focus of the broadcasts. The series honed…
That’s a wrap
It was an older, tight-lipped group of affluent Orlando residents who gathered in a vacant first-floor office last week, watching election returns on a giant video-projection screen. The results weren’t good: Pete Barr Sr., the ad executive/mayoral candidate tarred by accusations of racial slurs, was trailing by 3,000 votes. His supporters blamed the media. “A…
Two old white guys
In case you haven’t heard — and chances are you haven’t — Winter Park voters will choose a new mayor Tuesday. The election is a low-key affair featuring two affluent, white, gray-haired, suit-and-tied, Republican 60-somethings who collectively raised $25,000. (By comparison, Orlando’s recent mayoral race featured eight candidates who collectively raised more than $1.6 million.)…
Roll out the barrels â?¦
That small inconvenience known as a crappy economy has made this a good time for great buys on some superb wines. Glen Mederos at the Wine Warehouse (959 W. Fairbanks, Winter Park; 407-647-4744) points to a bottle of Falesco Vitiano as a stand-out selection. Equal parts Merlot, Cabernet and Sangiovese, this deep-red Italian was rated…
The campus co-conspirator
“Serving America’s Community Colleges Since 1975” Volume 28 · Issue 3 Hola, dudes and dudettes. With the 2002-2003 school year coming into the home stretch, college students like yourselves are asking themselves a question that’s as old as higher education itself: How can I get my professor fingered as an international terrorist in time for…
Joanie sits on it
I’ve avoided this topic my whole life. Well, not completely. There were those few times in high school with a tellingly named Michelle Burns, with which I had comical friction of the heterosexual variety. But for the most part, I’ve cowered from the all-powerful vagina. The word alone induces a pinch-faced gurgle. I wasn’t made…
