As 18 to 35-year olds with liberal arts degrees, low-paying gigs, and strong stomachs for celebrity train wrecks, we caught part of Dancing With the Stars earlier this week and realized the ABC reality competition show is way out of touch with our alt demographic. Surely we’re not the only…
This season of Basketball Wives should have been called Evelyn Lozada & Some Basketball Wives. And while the future Mrs. Chad Ochocinco did take a lot of air time, one person who definitely stood out was Miss Royce Reed. You might recognize the tiny ex-Orlando Magic dancer from her very…

Elizabeth Taylor passed away this morning. We lost another Hollywood icon who might have touched our grandparent’s and parent’s lives more than she did ours, but we still knew her well. It’s a testament to her star power that she continued to make news even well into her 70s. Taylor…
As spacey as its title suggests, Gregg Araki’s latest youth film is an occult mystery set in the ultimate SoCal college playpen. Kaboom is Scooby-Doo with sex, drugs, and tattooed hotties; following on the heels of Araki’s relatively commercial stoner farce Smiley Face (2007), the movie makes you wonder whether…
Last night’s episode of Real Housewives of Miami was like freebasing Ambien and glitter. It was half Sand Man-approved snore-fest and half WTF?. Seriously, we’re hoping that next week’s 90-minute season finale includes wig pulling, table flipping, or Elsa with an electronic cigarette in tow. Hell, we’ll even settle for…
With their seventh film festival a month away, Borscht just released a video tease showcasing their collaborators for this year’s fest. Sure, we posted the line-up of filmmakers and musicians last month. But perhaps you work too hard at your day job and don’t get out much and those names…
Elsa Patton, the true star of the Real Housewives of Miami, seems to have taken a break from cackling over a bubbling cauldron filled with vodka to prevent the steam from melting off her face start her very own Twitter page and to fork over some personal, pre-op photos of…
In a wintry woodland in an unspecified time long, long ago, teen beauty Valerie (Amanda Seyfried) is arranged to marry brooding, hunky, rich dude Henry (Max Irons), but is plotting to run away with brooding, hunky peasant Peter (Shiloh Fernandez). Then–bummer!–Valerie’s sister is eaten by the werewolf that besieges their…
One of the best things about Miami’s Borscht Film Festival is that so many of the people involved in it are committed to working in South Florida. And it looks like that loyalty is infectious and spreading even to those who left the city for bigger opportunities. Take Josie Loren,…
“I feel like this outfit screams ‘I’ve been living in Ohio for the past three years. Take me to your gross apartment and have sex with me,” Aura complains in recent indie hit Tiny Furniture. Comedies of humiliation are usually bred in the minds of those much older and male…
As Lord of the Dance 3D opens tonight for a one-week run at Regal Cinemas Lincoln Road, here’s a quick review: Michael Flatley knows what you think of him. He’s heard it all–cantering megalomaniac, spotlight-humping hambone–and he’s here to tell you that he’s selling out stages around the world without…

Before getting your GTL on in anticipation of her arrival or jumping off the MacArthur Causeway – depending upon where you stand on the whole Jersey Shore phenomena –know that Jenni Farley, aka JWOWW, is only confirmed to be back in South Beach for a day – that we know…
We’re hearing a lot of film news coming out of South by Southwest and it’s not all about Jake Gyllenhaal peeing. And out of all the dispatches, the project we’re most excited about is the new live action Super Mario Bros. movie. It’s got everything: heart, grit, Luigi, the Princess,…
Last night’s Real Housewives of Miami episode was pumped full of a lot of the same: Larsa complains about nannies, Cristy complains about Lea, both agree Lea’s sense of style is not cute. Lea goes shopping with a friend and reveals the way she tries on clothing — over the…
When part one of Basketball Wives reunion aired Sunday and was just OK, we were disappointed. But in last night’s part two, the “wives” really stepped it up. Anything that needed to be brought to the table was brought in a very big way. Things we didn’t even know about…
Brendt Barbur started the internationally renowned, grassroots Bicycle Film Festival after getting hit by a bus in New York City. He took a crappy situation and did something positive for bike riders by promoting biking through arts and movies. After only ten years, the festival is now established in 27…
