The Fighter is based on the true story of Lowell, Massachusetts light welterweight champ “Irish” Micky Ward, but, starring Boston working-class hero Mark Wahlberg, it plays as a Rocky-fied fairy tale for our time: Consigned to Palookaville, a sweet, unassuming boxer with more heart than brains steps up — all…
A brave, odd duck of a romantic comedy from James L. Brooks, How Do You Know strays as far from a barrel of laughs as a writer-director formed by network television can get without losing his grip altogether. Reese Witherspoon stars, in fetchingly scanty frocks, as a pro-athlete newly cut…
Fans of all shapes, sizes, and ages watch the Bad Girls Club Miami and why wouldn’t they? Who doesn’t love to watch female lushes beat the crap out of others and each other? It’s entertainment at its finest. And people not only like watching the show, they like reading about…
Before there were terrorists, there were older brothers. They convinced our five-year-old selves that vacuum cleaners were really crazed, human-eating machines and that Brussels sprouts were actually decomposing alien heads. Thanks to them, we are now veggie-hating adults with really dirty floors. But local filmmaker Daniel Cardenas should appreciate his…
We are worried about Miami. We’re not going to be like Khloe Kardashian and compare anything to the “R” word, but the Magic City has been through some trauma. First, we were violated by the Jersey Shore, then Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami, and then Bad Girls Club. And let’s…
We all make fun of the kids from the Jersey Shore like it’s our job, especially here at Cultist (because it actually is our job). But apparently, the joke is on us. Did you know that Mike “The Situation” and Pauly D are two of the top ten biggest earning…
A massive project, taken up lightly by Disney in the giddy post-Lord of the Rings atmosphere and dropped upon failing to return the requisite billions, this third adaptation from C. S. Lewis’s seven-volume (!) Chronicles of Narnia comes underwritten by a new studio, 20th Century Fox, and with a new…
Airily disregarding the Hemingway Unadaptability Principle, this quaintly racy version of Papa’s most hated novel has a few bullets in its barrel: Dynasty scion Jack Huston, as the Hem avatar, is dull but physically a perfect fit; the Mediterranean tourist-porn is addictive; and the story, unique in this particular corpus,…
If there’s one thing we know about South Florida, it’s that it has a large population of singles. Why? There are a ton of beautiful people in the 305; there’s always a good time to be had as well as lots of beds to wake up in. And guys, if…

Add Jennifer Lopez’s crotch to the list of things we’re hoping to see in our holiday stocking this year. J-Lo is reportedly trying to stop her ex-husband, Ojai Noa, and his agent, Ed Meyer, from releasing and marketing sexy videos made during the couple’s short-lived marriage, according to Radar Online.In…
We have some of the best news ever. No, Sarah Palin isn’t taking a vow of silence. No, the Miami Heat haven’t announced that they are getting their shit together. Bad Girls Club is looking for new gals to join the gnarly gang … and they are looking in Miami.Even…

Tangled: Disney’s latest looks and feels great
Over the years, Miami has served as the backdrop for hundreds of Hollywood movies. In Celluloid City, we spotlight some of the classics shot right in our own backyard. In 1999, Oliver Stone went on a road trip chewing on ‘shrooms to scout locations for his football saga, Any Given…
Another Bad Girls Club Miami reunion has come and gone. Wow, what a ride. What a drunken, slutty, violent ride, right? Last night’s Part 2, much like the first, was truly epic. Our favorite little convict made a serious appearance again, and Morgan came back … for a little bit…
On July 26, 1990, Howard Stern called his show producer, Gary Dell’Abate, into the studio, to discuss animation art collecting. Dell’Abate was interested in the growing 90s fad and contemplated buying a Hanna-Barbera piece–either Quick Draw McGraw or his Mexican donkey pal, Baba Looey. However, Dell’Abate didn’t say Baba Looey on…

The Next Three Days: Next to nothing
We knew last night’s Bad Girls Club Miami reunion wasn’t going to be a typical reality reunion. We interviewed these ladies throughout the season and knew the bitches were extremely pissed off — especially at one another. So it was no surprise that within the first five minutes fists were…
