Speaking to Eugene Jarecki is like having a web of thoughts coming at you a mile a minute. Considering the levels of analysis in his films like Why We Fight and his most recent documentary, The House I Live In, about the War on Drugs (both Grand Jury Prize winners…
If you love movies that end with some mustachioed sheriff pulling a dead child out of a swimming pool, then you’re out of luck when it comes to Nobody Walks. If, however, you go for films of a rare, fragile emotional beauty, then you should not miss writer-director Ry Russo-Young’s…
If you think the women of Bad Girls Club are outrageous, out of control and utterly obnoxious, just imagine being a dude by their side. We’d speculate it involves taking turns as a punching bag, a bottomless bank account, and a sex slave (the last one might not be so…
When Daniel Craig confidently strides into the hotel room at the Mandarin Oriental Miami to meet with us, he is wearing a perfectly tailored suit with a pocket square, not unlike how James Bond dresses in Skyfall, the latest installment opening Friday. He adjusts his watchband in a way that…
Miami, we have had quite the week. We got a new Marlins manager. We are all still recovering from Halloween. And we got to watch two episodes of Real Housewives of Miami in the span of five days.We don’t how we are keeping our panties on with all this excitement,…
Handsome and suave, in a rugged, don’t-f*ck-with-me way. Handy with gadgets and guns. Has a way with the ladies. Enjoys a strong drink with maximum agitation. Even with a brain-numbingly boring name like James Bond, Ian Fleming’s fictional British secret agent was the most interesting man in the world long…

Ever since we heard about Miami Connection, the 1980s B-movie featuring ninjas and rock bands in Florida, we’ve been obsessed with its so-bad-it’s-good acting, it’s so-fake-it’s-hilarious special effects, and perhaps most importantly, its so-cheesy-it’ll-be-stuck-in-your-head-for-weeks soundtrack.See also:- Miami Connection, Awful Yet Awesome ’80s Film, Headed to Theaters- The Best Florida Ninja…
Soulmates? Here in Miami, a city not exactly known for its monogamous ways, we have our doubts. The idea that two people can be made for each other — complementing each others’ souls, completing each others’ beings and so on — sounds to most South Floridians like some sugary, naïve,…
We think it’s safe to say that Real Housewives of Miami is finally starting to heat up. On last night’s special Sunday edition, there were cocktails, violence, and nip slips — oh my! What more could you ask from a Real Housewives franchise? (Not much.)We mean, even Lady Gaga was tweeting…
As hard to believe as it might be, growing up I was a big ol’ scaredy cat. I have vivid memories of hiding under the comforter of my parents’ bed with my brother as they let us half-watch A Nightmare on Elm Street. They were trying to be cool parents…
We want to begin with a big shout out to Lisa Hochstein. Real Housewives of Miami episode seven began with her explaining what exactly the Susan G. Komen foundation is. Not exactly necessary, because we’ve all spent the past month inundated with pink ribbons, pink sports gear, the pink sign…
