South of the Border, and Much Further South

For the past 17 years, Cine Las Americas has brought the latest films from Latin America (plus Native America, Spain, and Portugal) to screens in our city.

Moontower 2014, Day 4: Fred Armisen

There are those who like to tear down James Franco for being “Mr. Everything.” If that’s a fair descriptor, then Fred Armisen – actor, writer, producer, director, singer/musician, voice actor, master impressionist, and comedian – is “Mr. Vice-Everything.”

Elegy for an Invisible Hipster: Kelly Wayne Noel

Saturday morning, shortly after 1am, an intoxicated driver, 40-year-old Wade Atwood, took a right turn out of the Wendy’s parking lot Downtown on Seventh Street and was cruising northbound in the left lane of the IH-35 frontage road when he allegedly struck a pedestrian – officials would pronounce the man dead within the hour.
