It took a lot of movie magic (mainly plywood, paint, and CGI) to turn Miami’s gritty 14th Street and North Miami Avenue intersection into Hollywood’s ideal Sunset Strip — you know, the place where homeless teenagers and crack cocaine users aren’t seen. And after seeing the trailer for Rock of…

Ah, wintertime. It’s the season of giving, the season of joy — unless you’re a film buff, in which case it’s the season of bemoaning awards snubs and studying up for your Oscars picks. The Academy Awards aren’t until Feb. 26, of course, but you’ve still gotta know about film’s…

In addition to luggage, American Airlines has now added its own sense of humor to the list of shit they’re losing. Last week, Alec Baldwin was kicked off a flight because the actor allegedly refused to turn off his mobile phone while the plane sat idle. He tweeted, “Flight attendant…

OK kids, we did it. We made it through 11 weeks of Tough Love Miami. We have seen laughter, tears and a lot of hot messes, but it all comes down to this: the finale. Last week, we got to watch those lucky bitches cruise to the Bahamas with their…

The 29th Annual Miami International Film Festival is about 80 days away, but the board has broken us off a little sumthin’ sumthin’ to give us film junkies a reason to salivate for the next few months. Namely, the titles of the first ten films in the 2012 MIFF lineup,…

For many, the holiday season is a time best spent with family and friends. For the rest of us, there’s television. For decades, TV has given us a treasure trove of holiday programming, from the true meaning of Christmas in A Charlie Brown Christmas to the delightful suicidal antics of…

We Need To Talk About Kevin, a thriller centered on the messed-up relationship between a reluctant mother and her son with sociopathic tendencies, opens in theaters Friday.

“I received notification by phone from California the day before Thanksgiving,” Jillian Mayer tells us. “I heard that Sundance makes a tradition out of calling people around Thanksgiving to make the holidays a bit more joyous.”What a joyous Thanksgiving for Mayer it must have been, as her collaboration with Lucas…

There is a very good chance that when you watched the Real Housewives of Miami, you thought there was no chance in hell they were getting a another season. Much like their sister show, Miami Social, we thought they were goners for sure — mainly because, much like Social, the…

Miami’s TMI tía and South Florida’s favorite Puerto Rican uncle are heading to television’s McKinley High. Gloria Estefan and Ricky Martin will appear on an episode of Fox’s Glee next year, according to Adam Anders, the show’s executive music report. “We just announced Ricky Martin and Gloria Estefan for a…

When we first saw the words “Jersey Shore Shark Attack,” we immediately imagined that the Jersey Shore cast had returned to Miami for another season of embarrassing, drunken antics — and were tragically eaten alive in the waters of South Beach. (On-camera, one hoped.) It turns out that didn’t happen…

Art Basel Miami 2011 may be over, but reliving it through photos, videos, text messages, status updates, tweets, and old school real life conversations has only just begun.
