Today’s MIFF picks are all about grit and glam. We’ve got a movie about two junkie degenerate brothers in Ecuador, a documentary about the lives of supermodels past their prime, and an exquisite British screen adaptation of a classic 1950s play. Twelve other films from Italy, Denmark, Russia, Canada, Colombia,…
Photography is a discipline that can produce stunning products when executed by experts and atrocious results when in the hands of deluded souls who somehow deem it acceptable to publicize pictures taken in their bathroom mirrors. Log onto any social networking site and we promise you will find an abundance…
Miami International Film Fest is well underway and there’s one film in particular that’s setting our radar abuzz.

It’s day five of the MIFF and us raging film fiends are so strung out on 35-millimeter spools of the chronic that ushers have to carry our delirious asses up the aisles of every theater. But with five more glorious days left to go, quitting is not an option.Here are…

Ladies, let us remind you of something we have learned after watching four seasons of Basketball Wives: don’t date an athlete. We can only imagine how great it is to whip at your man’s American Express black card at Neiman Marcus and have him pay for your Loubs. Yet, from what…

Ah, rush hour.We all love to bitch poetic about our city’s nasty gridlock, bemoan the never ending stop-and-go that is US1 and whine about the stagnant mess that is 836, but the truth is, we’ve got it good. Other cities face traffic nightmares so horrific that a life without wheels…
A long time ago you learned your ABCs, and those of you with a penchant for drinking and driving probably learned your ZYXs just in case (well, we did, anyway). Either way, it raises an important question: have you learned your Miami ABCs?Probably not. But don’t fret, because we’ve got…

The famously handsome Robert Redford stars in a Soundscape Park presentationMarch doesn’t get enough credit. After the excitement of the New Year and the exhilaration (or bitter disappointment) of Valentine’s Day, people tend to forget about the good March has to offer. Not only can we exploit the Irish people…
God bless all things Portuguese. The sultry gene pools of Brazil and Portugal have spawned for us bronzed glamazons like Gisele Bündchen, dashing demi-gods like bad boy soccer superstar (and unabashed Emporio Armani underwear model) Cristiano Ronaldo, and sexy screen stud Rodrigo Santoro (best known as the silver-sheathed, Spartan-slaying Xerxes…
Last night, director Sebastián Cordero, an indie festival champ and a charming Ecuadorian hippie film nerd, made the Miami International Film Festival the site of the North American premiere of Pescador, a subtle and unique comedy about amateur drug trafficking in South America.
