TWO TICKETS TO PARADOX
Movie: Primer
EARLY MORNING STUFF DOWN ON THE AVENUE
The first Pita Pit to open in town, out by UCF, has already been distinguished by our Best of Orlando 2004 award for Best Late-Night Restaurant. We know it’s a fast-growing chain restaurant (www.pitapit.com) that’s penetrated the country at an alarming rate, but there just aren’t that many places in Orlando to find fast food…

TWO TICKETS TO PARADOX
Movie: Primer
Movie: After the Sunset
Our Rating: 2.00 This Caribbean crime caper is best appreciated as an extended travelogue of one of the movie industry’s most reliable locations: Salma Hayek’s abdomen. As the distaff half of a retired pair of jewel thieves, Hayek lets her amazing anatomy carry scene after scene of hotel intrigue and seaside scheming. Meanwhile, partner in…

Movie: The Polar Express
Our Rating: 3.00 The boy is getting too old to believe in Santa Claus, and this Christmas he’s teetering in his convictions. One snowy night, a steaming locomotive manifests itself out of the dark and pulls up to a stop outside his house. A gruff conductor steps off the platform and asks the boy if…

LIKE PEEKING UP THE TEACHER’S DRESS
We all know that recurring nightmare in which people find themselves stripped down in front of their colleagues, everything hanging out for all to see. So be sensitive to such a sense of exposure when an intimate exhibit of new art by the art faculty at Valencia Community College opens this weekend: It’s a show…
MERCURY RISING
The results are in. The Environmental Quality Institute at the University of North Carolina-Asheville recently released the interim results for Greenpeace’s ongoing Mercury Hair Sampling Project, which has been gathering hair samples from volunteers nationwide. Out of the 597 hair samples, 126 women of childbearing age (21 percent) had mercury levels above the Environmental Protection…
AVOIDABLE LOSS
It happened in the blink of an eye. An SUV, driven by a 22-year-old sorority president who may have been talking on her cell phone, sailed through a red light and plowed into two little girls. The older girl, 5-year-old Cheney Elementary student Anjelica Velez, died almost instantly. Her 2-year-old sister, Victoria, who was being…
BALLERS
It’s a cold Monday night. The score is Falcons 28, Ravens 21. It’s the fourth quarter, third down with 10 yards to go. The Falcons take their positions on offense, their muscles straining against their crimson jerseys, the Atlanta fans roaring appreciation for the home team. Just as quarterback Michael Vick is about to take…
ALL IS LOST / NO IT ISN’T
OK, so I’m officially over it. I’ve just read the 500th version of the same “Why we lost” or “Why they won” post-mortem on last week’s election. And they all dance around the same themes: George W. Bush’s – or Karl Rove’s – use of gay marriage got religious nuts and other hate-filled illiterates out…
Norah Jones, The Fever, Matt Pond PA and more
Thursday • 11 MATT POND PA Having shed most of his original band lineup, Matt Pond should now be referring to his act as Matt Pond NYC, since Manhattan is where he’s based now and where he gathered up 60 percent of his current band. Still in the fold is cellist Eve Miller (Rachel’s), but…
“Sympathy Canuck”
Now that George W. Bush has been officially elected, single, sexy, American liberals – already a threatened species – will be desperate to escape. These lonely, afraid (did we mention really hot?) progressives will need a safe haven. You can help. Open your heart, and your home. Marry an American. Legions of Canadians have already…
BANZAI BUCKAROOS
Most of the Japanese World War II suicide-mission dive-bombers (“kamikazes”) were successful, but a few failed pilots are still alive (their missions aborted because of weather or equipment failure), according to a Los Angeles Times dispatch in September. These days, they resent being compared to extremist-Islamic suicide bombers, who, the kamikazes say, act out of…
ED AND ME
I won’t get political here, because I’m still in the midst of celebratory ignorance. Halloween, after all, has expanded into a five-day googolplex of abandon in these parts, and I’ve still got four until Kerry sweeps the White House and Edwards is my fun-loving bitch who calls me on my cell phone all the time…

We exercise with the Democrats and the Orlando Mayhem
So after two and a half hours of waiting in line to cast our vote Nov. 2, we wandered over to local Democratic party headquarters to see if we could lend a hand. We didn’t have much time, we explained, but would be happy to do what we could, this being a “historic” election and…
FITS OF MUTATION
The last few years have seen Brooklyn’s wayward anomaly Animal Collective dropped into the musical petri dish multiple times, doused with whatever was lying around beneath the kitchen sink and mutating at an accelerated pace. They have migrated from lysergically laced experimental arrangements toward more accessible folk and pop influences, emphasized in the abundant employ…
WELCOME TO THE MACHINE
Do you trust the future? Not in the sense of whether it will treat you well, or even be rational, but do you trust it to accurately report itself to the present? Well, neophyte publisher John Pace Seavering does. When, in 1919, a mysterious machine starts spewing pages of academic literature from the 1980s into…
