I Just Can’t Get Enough
The long-awaited Entourage movie is now in theaters, and for those looking for what’s essentially a supersized episode of the HBO show (which follows this secret formula: celebrity cameo + expensive car + boobs + “Baby bro!”), the movie version delivers. Is it one of the greatest movies of the year or even week? Of…
Pearl’s Brings History and Cocktails to the East End
If success is defined by passion and mindfulness, the owners and operators of Pearl’s, Columbia Tusculum’s newest bar, are already set with a home run on their hands. Co-owner John Tieman, a local developer since 2005, purchased the building that is now Pearl’s in 2010. The 100-year-old structure was the last-standing two-family residential property in…
15 North (Review)
Fort Thomas is not exactly known as a pizza destination, but with the advent of 15 North, which opened last month, that’s changing. Owners Lori and Ed Gossman left their Italian restaurant in Washington D.C., Roscoe’s Pizzeria, in exchange for a quieter life in Northern Kentucky, opening their new restaurant at 15 N. Fort Thomas…
The Second Coming of ‘True Detective’
After a wildly successful debut season, the second iteration of crime-drama anthology True Detective (Season Premiere, 9 p.m. Sunday, HBO) is under a microscope. How can — or perhaps just can — the first season be topped? While a cop drama featuring Surfer, Dude stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson seemed forgettable on paper, True…
The Elementz of His Style
As an artist with practically an alphabet for a name, it’s fitting that Max Unterhaslberger hones in on one’s signature as a basis for art. “When handed a pen, what would people write?” he asks. “I think the most common thing is their name. Everything humans do is graffiti — essentially putting your mark on…
Inside Out
As a parent of two teenage daughters, I’m not sure I was ever all that convinced I needed to get a bird’s eye view inside the minds of teenage girls, but directors Pete Docter (writer and director of the animated hits Monsters, Inc., WALL-E and Up) and Ronaldo Del Carmen (an art department mainstay who…
Dope
Director Rick Famuyiwa (The Wood) has been rather quiet since Brown Sugar back in 2002, with only one other feature as a writer-director (2010’s Our Family Wedding) and a screenplay credit for Talk to Me in 2007. But he’s riding a strong wave of attention following the reception of his latest coming-of-age dramedy Dope at…
Life is Like a Box of Explosives
I have to admit that sometimes, as a working critic, I love to read the buzz on films to get a sense of the general consensus. It doesn’t matter whether the project is a major studio release — a summer tentpole or a notable awards-season entry — or an indie with box-office sleeper potential. I…
Flower to the People
In the mid-20th century, British florist, author and educator Constance Spry taught generations of homemakers how to decorate their homes in ways that were unconventional, yet highly accessible. Spry encouraged them to arrange flowers, greenery and even — gasp — weeds from their yards in unconventional containers they had around the house, such as baking…
CAC Announces a New Season of Adventurous Performances
You couldn’t ask for a more creatively adventurous, inclusive and progressive performing arts schedule than what the Contemporary Arts Center has planned for its 2015-2016 season. Its mix of dance and movement, conceptual music projects, theater and spoken-word well represents where important new art is going today. Perhaps the most anticipated show — by me,…
Out of Exile
Twin Peaks is the sound of four guys, each barely old enough to drink legally, having fun doing what they love. Drummer Connor Brodner, bassist/vocalist Jack Dolan, guitarist/vocalist Clay Frankel and guitarist/vocalist Cadien Lake James grew up together on Chicago’s North Side, each a lover of Rock & Roll in its various guises — from ’60s Garage…
Crass Behavior and Silly Lewdness Generate Summertime Fun
Critic's Picks A woman pursued by Francis Henshall says, “I know exactly what he’s after. And if he carries on like this, he’s going to get it.” In Cincinnati Shakespeare Company’s production of One Man, Two Guvnors, Matthew Lewis Johnson plays Henshall in precisely that manner, behaving manically and getting exactly what this play aims…
Sound Advice: Justin Furstenfeld with Ashleigh Stone
It’s been 20 years and a lot of hard times since Blue October formed, but Justin Furstenfeld and the gang aren’t done yet. For Furstenfeld, the band isn’t just a way to pay the bills — it’s therapeutic. Over the course of seven albums, he’s used songwriting to deal with break-ups, divorces and a gruesome…
Sound Advice: The Revivalists with The Main Squeeze, Elementree Livity Project and more
With New Orleans being such a saturated hub for soulful Rock & Roll, it’s a definite sign that a band has a good thing going when it breaks through the dense competition and onto the radar of fans across the country. The Revivalists, a seven-piece Rock hybrid formed in NOLA in 2007, have done just…
Sound Advice: The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion with Daddy Long Legs
Musical provocateur Jon Spencer chose the perfect handle for his new project when it was formed back in 1991 — Blues Explosion — and it continues to accurately reflect the visceral sound and fury emanating from his incendiary trio almost a quarter century later. Spencer and his Blues Rock commandos — guitarist Judah Bauer and…
Sound Advice: Beth Hart with Matt Andersen
Life is a series of defining moments and Blues chanteuse Beth Hart has had plenty in her nearly two-and-a-half decade career. Hart competed on Ed McMahon’s Star Search program in 1993, winning the “female vocalist” crown, which teed up her debut album that year, Beth Hart and the Ocean of Souls. Hart’s true breakthrough came…
Morning News and Stuff
Good morning y’all. Did you hear that the city government is grinding to a halt? Only not really, not yet at least. You see, the city must have a financial plan in place by July 1 and there’s a battle afoot over the city’s capital budget. That funds a lot of things like road repairs,…
Council’s Big Bad Budget Adventure
Cincinnati City Council's Budget and Finance Committee today wrangled over the city's upcoming, $1 billion budget, passing the operating portion of that financial plan but leaving a fight over capital spending for another day. Basic services like police and fire aren't under threat in the budget battle — those are paid for from the city's…
Leftovers: What We Ate This Weekend
Each week CityBeat staffers, dining writers and the occasional intern tell you what they ate this weekend. We're not always proud — or trendy — but we definitely spend at least some money on food. Sarah Urmston: I spent my Sunday afternoon under the hot sun with a case of Corona Light and a basket full of Eli's BBQ. My…
Morning News and Stuff
Good morning all. Here’s what’s up today. The back and forth about the city’s budget continues. In a news conference this morning, Mayor John Cranley said he would divide up council Democrats’ budget proposal and put individual spending items to an up or down vote. That’s significant because the five Democrats on council don’t have…
Morning News and Stuff
Good morning Cincy. Here’s what’s happening today. Local activists and the family of QuanDavier Hicks held an emotional rally yesterday at Northside’s Hoffner Park, just blocks from the apartment on Chase Ave. where police officer Doris Scott shot the 22-year-old Tuesday night. The rally was organized by Cincinnati Black Lives Matter and drew more than…
Your Weekend To Do List (6/12-6/14)

Yes, Orange Is the New Black is back for your binging pleasure…
Stage Door: Laughs, a New World and Some Bad Guys
Several productions onstage at the moment have been so successful that tickets are scarce, if available at all: The opening show at Cincinnati Landmark Productions’ Warsaw Federal Incline Theater, The Producers — and in fact, the Inclines three-show summer season — is heavily subscribed, so the chance of finding seats at the last minute is…
Foreign Film Friday: The Wicker Man (1973)
Upon learning of actor Christopher Lee’s passing, I decided to view him in the role he thought was his finest, as the villain in the British cult classic The Wicker Man. It’s a strange film, one that shifts from mystery to horror to baleful Pagan-folk musical with simmering disquiet. Although at the time considered by…
Weekenders: What We’re Doing This Weekend
Emily Begley: Since it’s supposed to stay in the high 80s all weekend (!!!), my boyfriend Mark and I are heading up to Soak City at Kings Island. Other than a potential trip down the lazy river, we’re planning on bringing towels and setting up camp beside the wave pool to read. (I just started…
Local Chefs Cycling Against Cancer
Drew Vogel is one of those people who is immediately endearing without even trying. He is gregarious and enthusiastic, and after just five minutes of speaking with him, even a cold-hearted nihilist will be wholly enthralled and passionate about whatever it is he’s talking about. An adjunct instructor at the Midwest Culinary Institute and a…
Your Weekend Playlist: Rehearsal Dinner
Wedding season has officially arrived, and that means parties, dinners, showers and more parties. Yikes! It’s the perfect blend between terrifying and awesome. This past weekend I had the opportunity to host a dear friend’s rehearsal dinner at a creative space called The Living Room. The bride and groom are in their early 20s, so…

Event: Vintage Base Ball Tournament
Take a time machine into America’s favorite pastime with the Vintage Base Ball Tournament, in which players face off in the diamond as if it were 1869, the year baseball’s first professional team — the Cincinnati Reds — formed. Whether you’re rooting for the Cincinnati Red Stockings or the Cincinnati Buckeyes, you can watch the…
Hozier with Dawes
Every now and then a musician with immense talent reaches the upper echelon of the Billboard charts. They don’t get there because they’re so hot or because they’re dating Diplo. They didn’t win a talent competition. They’re just truly gifted, have worked hard and made it. That is the story of Hozier. The Irish singer/songwriter…
Spoon with The Antlers
Spoon is the most reliable band on the planet, each album a slight variation on frontman Britt Daniel’s long-running love of terse, sharp-edged Rock & Roll. The Austin, Texas outfit’s eighth album, 2014’s They Want My Soul, is more of the same, each song a deceptively simple mix of interlocking parts: insistent beats from essential…

Music: BoyMeetsWorld
The latest Cincinnati Pop/Punk band with the potential to punch its ticket would make a great reality show.

Literary: Mandy Levy
“Buy a thing of arugula from the store. Dump it in a bowl.” This is the beginning of Mandy Levy’s Buffauxlo Chicken Salad recipe from her new book Calorie Accounting: The Foolproof Diet-by-Numbers Plan for a Skinnier New You, a humorous and self-deprecating weight-loss book that feels more like your best friend telling you about…
Music: The Happy Maladies
Even a cursory listen to The Happy Maladies’ slim but impressive Chamber Folk-meets-Indie-in-Jazztown catalog reveals a certain thoughtful deliberation. But the question of sonic intent regarding the imminent new self-titled album by the Cincinnati band sparks an answer nearly as contemplative as the group’s sound. From their 2008 start, The Happy Maladies have exhibited a casual…
Music: Broncho
Over the past five years, Broncho has ridden its love of ’70s Punk and ’80s Indie Rock to a press kit full of praise and the kind of fairly high-profile song placements that couldn’t help but broaden its loyal fan base. Broncho’s fortunes have continued to rise, with the first album’s “Try Me Out Sometime” being…
TV: Orange is the New Black
After a heavy second season that had many viewers wondering if drama would be a more appropriate genre designation than comedy (particularly for television awards), the ladies of Litchfield Penitentiary look to lighten things up in Season Three. Yes, Orange Is the New Black is back for your binging pleasure with a growing solid cast, and…
Music: PHOX
Baraboo, Wisc.’s previous claims to fame have been as the birthplace/onetime operational base of the Ringling Brothers Circus (and other similar outfits, leading to its nickname, Circus City) and as the hometown of Bradbury Robinson, who threw the first legal forward pass in American football in 1906. In the present tense, Folk-flecked Indie Rock sextet…
Live From New York!
Celebrating 40 years of Saturday Night Live, this documentary from Vietnamese-American filmmaker Bao Nguyen (documentary shorts A Tree Falls in the Forest, Julian) focuses on the early years of the show, studying the very young executive producer Lorne Michaels and his collection of comic misfits as they set the stage for what was to become…
Jurassic World
Executive producer Steven Spielberg helmed the first two installments in this gigantic franchise based on Michael Crichton’s books, but for the second time, his hands are off the reins (Joe Johnston directed Jurassic Park III in 2001), allowing someone else to take a crack at taming the genetically modified beasts at the dino theme park.…
Beyond the Mask
The mask in question from feature debut screenwriter Paul McCusker and director Chad Burns (Pendragon: Sword of His Father) is one of identity. William Reynolds (Andrew Cheney) served as a mercenary (a euphemism for a hired gun or an assassin) for the British East India Company before being doublecrossed by his superiors. Now, under an…
Event: Margarita Madness

Thanks for the Maladies
Even a cursory listen to The Happy Maladies’ slim but impressive Chamber Folk-meets-Indie-in-Jazztown catalog reveals a certain thoughtful deliberation. But the question of sonic intent regarding the imminent new self-titled album by the Cincinnati band sparks an answer nearly as contemplative as the group’s sound. “I wouldn’t say we’re going for something,” violinist/vocalist Eddy Kwon…
The Elusive ‘Saint Laurent’
No word can stake a greater claim for being devalued than “genius.” From supreme intellectual reverence to unimaginative efforts of slapping the label on any and every passing thought, genius is no longer that select, once-in-a-lifetime ideal. There is genius all around us, in routine actions, mundane turns of phrase, the recycling of what has…
Noble Denim Founders Launch Socially Conscious Athletic Apparel Company
Noble Denim conquered the world with their Cincinnati- and Tennessee-based line of handmade denim jeans, and now founders Abby and Chris Sutton and their team are venturing into a collection of organic cotton knit basics called Victor Athletics in hopes to make more of an impact with U.S.-hewn apparel. “The goal with Victor is to…
Final Thoughts on the 2015 Cincy Fringe
The 2015 Cincinnati Fringe Festival wrapped up last Saturday, but the glow continues. According to Tamara Winters, Know Theatre’s associate artistic director, “This was a record year for the number of artists who took part — more than 240 — and a record number of performances at 182.” It was a great year for the…
Sealed with a ‘Kiss’
How does an artist simultaneously perform the sometimes-contradictory role of curator, sensitively arranging their own artwork within the framework of an institution, while being deliberately transparent about the slipperiness of holding both roles? Chicago-based artist, writer and “sometimes curator” Matt Morris poses that question and more in his exhibition currently on view at the Contemporary…
When #blacklivesdontmatter to Black People
As Cincinnati Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell prepared to hand in his city manager-ordered 90-day plan to curb this city’s outburst of violence, black folks from Avondale to Westwood, Walnut Hills to Bond Hill to Winton Hills and even murderous black parents under the jurisdiction of the local branch of Ohio Jobs and Family Services behaved…
Surprise, Surprise
It’s no surprise when reporters are surprised by a major breaking story on their beats. Too many reporters have become captives of their sources, turning to the usual suspects when a story breaks, regardless of who breaks it. A recent example involves Cincinnati City Hall and police beat reporters who apparently were surprised by the…
Morning News and Stuff
Hello all, there are a couple big stories happening this morning so let’s get right to them. • First, a Cincinnati Police officer shot a man last night in Northside.

America’s Pastime
One of the most memorable plays in Major League Baseball All-Star Game history occurred in Cincinnati in 1970, when West Side hero Pete Rose pummeled American League catcher Ray Fosse to score the winning run in the bottom of the 12th inning at Riverfront Stadium. The collision lives on as a reminder of Rose’s hard-nosed…

Crustaceans Collide
As a native New Yorker, many of my childhood years were spent seaside — countless summers along the Long Island Sound, eyeing the sand for crabs and learning the proper way to eat every type of clam imaginable. Raw, briny little necks, also known as quahogs, native to the area were my favorite. I could —…
Hit the Road
The very name of Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest, the 14,378-acre nature preserve just 20 miles south of Louisville on Interstate 65, indicates it is far more than just a park or nature center. Make no mistake: Bernheim, run by a nonprofit organization, primarily provides educational and recreational activities related to nature. One look at…
MidPoint Music Fest Announces More Bookings
The second round of acts booked for this year's MidPoint Music Festival have been announced.

Comedy: Johnny Beehner
“I’ve been told that after two or three years of marriage, a lot of couples decide to have babies,” comedian Johnny Beehner told an audience on The Late Show with David Letterman. “My wife and I discussed this and we decided we are not ready for a baby, not even close. Incidentally, we do have…
Lecture: Object Lessons: Thinking Gender Variance Through Minimalist Sculpture
New York-based artist Gordon Hall’s lecture is presented in conjunction with the Contemporary Arts Center’s current exhibition, The Perfect Kiss (QQ)* , wherein artist and sculptor Matt Morris aims to address how gender and sexuality are understood in abstract, minimal artworks.

Literary: Brittany Gibbons
The title of Brittany Gibbons’ new memoir says a lot about the content therein: Fat Girl Walking: Sex, Food, Love, and Being Comfortable in Your Skin … Every Inch of It. The rural Ohio native is a large lady, and she’s not afraid to highlight that fact, but she’s also a lot of other things.…
Broncho with Kopecky, Coconut Milk and Near Earth Objects
