Movie: The Weather Underground
Our Rating: 4.00 A homegrown terrorist movement with pretensions to Third World revolution, ’60s radicals the Weather Underground make fascinating subjects for a feature documentary. In peeking behind the mask, filmmakers Sam Green and Bill Siegel avoid commenting on their central characters, instead using modern-day interview footage to build a picture of a group whose…

A good if pricey year for wines
There’s good news and bad news for lovers of Beaujolais Nouveau, the newly bottled wine that was released, as is tradition, last Thursday. On the up side, according to Jason at Tim’s Wine Market (1223 N. Orange Ave., 407-895-9463), weather conditions this past summer made for an exceptional Beaujolais season. “Anything you buy is going…
Black wind, fire and steel
When MTV’s “Headbangers Ball” went off the air in the early ’90s, rock fans still holding on to the last scraps of metal the corporate giant threw their way were left in the cold. Sure, what started out as a somewhat interesting Saturday night of hard rock and metal videos presented by the genre’s finest…
Music in every room
Shortly after TV on the Radio finished a show in Cincinnati, an audience member came up to singer Tunde Adebimpe to give him accolades, and then offered one of the worst comparisons ever. “He said, ‘I don’t know what it is, but you remind me of Living Colour,'” Adebimpe recalls. “It was like, ‘Gee, I…
Pass the tomatoes
Don’t panic, but I am making spaghetti sauce. Not to eat, silly, just to rub across my lips in some expression of feigned Italian satiation, and to honor the three interview subjects buzzing at my hotline today. Comedians they are, and they conjure vaudevillian images of rotten tomatoes a-tossing in the direction of suspender-ed disbelief.…
Half-cocked
An Orlando police officer is under investigation after he left a loaded handgun at a school. Kenneth Pinkston was off duty when his personal firearm was dropped inside the auditorium at Kaley Elementary. Two first graders found it Wednesday morning on the floor of `the school’s` auditorium. Orlando Police Department’s policy doesn’t require off-duty cops…
Need more space?
For 23 years, Dennis Hope, 55, of Gardnerville, Nev., has operated a business selling people “official” title to land on the moon, Mars and Venus for about $20 an acre. Although others are in the same business, Hope told the Las Vegas Review-Journal in September that he has earned $6.5 million during that period (an…
We went, we watched, we ate
Fun fact! The world’s first dinner theater, the Barksdale Theater, opened Aug. 1, 1953, in the Hanover Tavern near Richmond, VA. The cast — six actors, two children, one dog, one cat and two pigs — hit on the “dinner” part of the equation when their rural neighbors informed them that dining was a vital…
I, protester
It’s 6:15 a.m., Nov. 20, and cold — or at least, as cold as November mornings in Orlando get. The temperature has dipped into the low 50s, and we’re standing in the parking lot of the University of Central Florida Arena, anxiously awaiting the warmth of a chartered bus due here 45 minutes ago. With…
What I’m thankful for
With Thanksgiving comes a cheap out for columnists everywhere — the what-I’m-thankful-for column. You don’t have to actually talk to anyone, you don’t have to get up off your butt and get out of the office, you don’t have to do anything except offer your witty, informed punditry. So the first thing in my what-I’m-thankful-for…
