  • Terry Rozier vows more in Heat reserve role; Micky Arison among Hall nominees
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Friday - 12/20/2024 - 02:07 PM

    MIAMI — The mandate was rudimentary but nonetheless was reiterated to veteran Heat guard Terry Rozier during a team session ahead of Friday night’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder at Kaseya Center: Just be yourself. Playing deferentially upon entering recent games, and typically not turning to his own offense until later stints now that he has been cast in a reserve role, Rozier said the emphasis from the coaching staff was to attack from the outset. “It’s about being more intent on what we want to do,” Rozier said of the session with coach Erik Spoelstra.

  • The hole deepens in Delray’s code enforcement division | Editorial
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Friday - 12/20/2024 - 02:06 PM

    Something is very seriously wrong in the city of Delray Beach Code Enforcement Division. Ironically, the operation that’s responsible for keeping up a clean and presentable city looks like anything but. The unit has lurched from one controversy to another for months, under increasing scrutiny, but with no resolution in sight. City leaders should demand results from City Manager Terrence Moore, because a city that can’t get the little things right will never get the big things right. A city worker was arrested in October, more than a year after she allegedly threatened to slap two residents with code violations unless they paid her money. The state declined to press charges, citing a lack of evidence, but she was fired after being on a paid suspension for months.

  • The best Christmas movies for every mood
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Friday - 12/20/2024 - 02:02 PM

    By LINDSEY BAHR and JAKE COYLE, Associated Press ‘Tis the season for spirited and winless debates about what the best Christmas movie is. No one needs us to remind you about the obvious holiday movies playing on repeat on cable, whether it’s “It’s a Wonderful Life”, “Home Alone” or “Love, Actually,” or even those holiday adjacent classics like “Eyes Wide Shut” and “The Godfather.” But perhaps you are looking to go beyond the obvious this year (sorry, “Christmas Story,” “White Christmas” etc, etc). Associated Press Film Writers Jake Coyle and Lindsey Bahr have you covered with the best Christmas films for every mood. A movie that feels like a Christmas movie but isn’t, really This image released by Criterion shows Adrien Brody in a scene from the 2014 film “The Grand Budapest Hotel.” (Criterion via AP) “Grand Budapest Hotel”: Truthfully, there’s nothing outside of a little snow to make Wes Anderson’s 2014 delight a Christmas movie.
