The founders of the Miami Short Film Festival (MsFF) have a great idea for combating the over-prescription of attention deficit drugs like Ritalin and Adderall: instead of making attention spans longer, just make movies shorter! While this ingenious solution to one of America’s pill popping problems does not seem to…

The nights just seem to be getting longer, and we aren’t talking about Daylight Savings! As the contestants get whittled down, everyone becomes a better dancer, which makes Dancing With the Stars harder to recap because there are less things to be mean about. We just have to pray for…
We would like to officially call Steve Ward a groundbreaker. No, we aren’t going to follow that statement with a 🙂 or LOL, which if you remember from the texting episode, he hates. We all have girlfriends that have serious dating issues. And what we really mean is that we…
Sporting a Freegums T-shirt and creating a belt out of teddy bear parts, Miami’s own Brian Burkhardt made his national debut as a top-of-the-line designer on Lifetime’s i>Project Accessory. The show, a spinoff of Project Runway, premiered last week. Burkhardt works with his wife Trisha Brookbank on Triian jewelry and…
Actually, you don’t need to be chemically-altered to enjoy Bollywood (and other Indian cinema). It’s that good. If you’ve never heard of Bollywood, it’s the lovable term referring to the Hindi-language portion of Indian cinema. And as westerners, we can’t tell the difference between Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, or any others,…

The Skin I Live In: Pedro Almodovar’s mad-scientist tale
So it’s finally upon us: Week Seven — the Halloween episode. But the real scares come as the horror of watching Dancing With the Stars without Chaz Bono. We all knew this day would come, but you can’t prepare for it, you know?So last night, one of the best party…
This Halloween, we’re going all out. Our house is covered — ceiling to cellar — in phony cobwebs. We’ve got an unbroken chain of Jack-O-Lanterns lining the perimeter. And, yes, on the porch, completely unguarded, sits a tremendous black witch’s cauldron filled with suckers, bubblegum, chocolate bits, gummi-everything, movie theater…
As we found in our sex survey, a little less than half this city is single. And “master matchmaker” Steve Ward of Tough Love knows why. We all need to be a little sluttier, drop the BS, and lower our standards. On Tough Love last night, Ward introduced the ladies…
Everyone can’t seem to stop raving about last night’s return of Beavis and Butt-head to MTV. What could have been a disaster of epic proportions (you aren’t suppose to mess with a teenage classic) actually turned out to be a great return for the duo. Mike Judge seems to realize…
When someone blurts out, “Fire! Fire!,” it is hard to not think images of Beavis’s bulging-eyeball, tense, clenched-fist fascination of fire. And how can anybody forget Butt-head’s heavily-aspirated laugh? After a nearly 14-year hiatus, Mike Judge’s loveable socially-awkward, porn-loving metal heads Beavis and Butt-head returned to MTV last night. The…

Take Shelter: A portrayal of madness in crazy times
After a week absence, we our back in the saddle with this week’s Dancing With the Stars recap. Where were we last week? Our DVR messed up and didn’t record, most likely rejecting the theme of ’80s week as if it were a surgical malady. Or perhaps our DVR knew…
On Tough Love Miami, the womenn take no time in getting the party started. In the first 30 seconds of last night’s show, Steve Ward announces that one of the days challenges is going to be a sexy photo shoot. This can’t be too hard when most of your contestants,…
