Ah, here it is again: that special time we experience every two to six years when Quentin Tarantino makes a new movie, and people dig out the old “Tarantino just steals everything from such-and-such” arguments. You’ve heard them. Reservoir Dogs is a scene-for-scene rip-off of Ringo Lam’s City on Fire,…

Texas Chainsaw 3-D Review: Gory, Mildly Surprising

The holidays are finally over, and not a moment too soon. Remember how excited you were to spend time with your family, eat fattening foods, and have nothing to do during the holidays this year? Now, you’re just stressed out after spending time with your family, eating fattening foods, and…

If you’re a Florida State fan, congrats to you and your Seminoles for winning last night’s Orange Bowl as expected. (And our sympathies for your morning-after hangover.)

Kim Kardashian: Just another victim of Miami’s sexy ambiance? After a stint living in North Miami to film her upcoming reality show, Kardashian is reportedly pregnant. Kanye West, who’s been dating Kardashian publicly since March, announced the happy news at his concert in Atlantic City on Sunday night, singing, “Now…

More than ever, boiling this concluding year down to the ten so-called best movies feels both arbitrary and reductive. Ideally, I’d have 25 unnumbered slots. I’d cite another five, formally varied nonfiction films: Tchoupitoulas, Detropia, The Ambassador, Only the Young, and How to Survive a Plague. And if I were…

When Real Housewives of Miami began, we wanted it to be good, sure. But really, we just didn’t want these bitches embarrassing our city again.Well, gals, you didn’t. You made us proud in the most hot mess of ways…

Quentin Tarantino has been Googling himself, and it’s starting to become a problem. The filmmaker, whose eighth feature, Django Unchained, opens on Christmas Day, is famously an analog evangelist: He writes his scripts in longhand; he bans cellphones from his sets, and hasn’t had one of his own in years;…

Nothing says Merry Christmas like flurries gently falling on Tony Stark. As a token gift to fans of the superhero series, Marvel released a holiday teaser image ahead of Iron Man 3’s 2013 release. The photo shows Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, standing in a snowstorm, sans suit. Obviously…
