With Scream 4 slicing its way into theaters this Friday, any red blooded horror fan will tell you this film has been a long time coming. From the first film’s impact on 1990s horror, to the third movie breaking all the rules, we can’t help but wonder: What else does…
Hederr Perez has traversed quite a few roads to get where she is today. The Miami native claims to have taken “a stroll through the arts” before finding her current passion, filmmaking. Perez pursued music, choreographed modern dance routines, and took on a few university creative writing classes all prior to…
Remember the days when being a housewife was a bad thing? Now we all know now that being a housewife is all you need to get on TV and also make a ton of cash. One of our favorites, Marysol Patton, isn’t actually a housewife at all but maven of…
Andy Cohen’s got the 411. But come April 16th, he’ll also have the 305 when he acts as the Grand Marshal of the Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade and Festival. And in case you’ve already written Cohen off as nothing more than an overly happy, cross-eyed referee for dueling Housewife…
Holy K-Y Jelly! Joe Eszterhas, the William Fuckner of Hollywood scriptwriting responsible for such sex and camp thrillers as Basic Instinct, Sliver, Jade, and, of course, Showgirls, is back. And his return from abstinence (at least in screenwriting) involves the Magic City as the setting for his next lurid story,…
Matt Lauer leaving The Today Show. Katie Couric saying goodbye to CBS Evening News. Oprah ditching her show later this year. What’s going on? How will we ever recover without those familiar faces spewing useless news at us during the morning, afternoon, and night. Eh, we’ll get over it. Miamians…
The New Times sure does write a lot about the Borscht Film Festival. We’ve given them cash money, triple coverage, and more words than a Scrabble factory.But think of what they’ve done for us. Their movement represents more than a single night of local independent film per year. Borscht is…
Your Highness: Dirty jokes for the D&D crowd
Arthur: Russell Brand is no Dudley Moore
Get out your Mickey Mouse autograph books out, star-fuckers. You might see Mexican heartthrob Diego Boneta (Rebelde), and Dancing with the Stars champion Julianne Hough ’round the Magic City next month. This May, Rock of Ages, the film adaptation of the Broadway musical, begins production in Miami. Never heard of…
Our mamas always told us that patience is a virtue. Well, we officially believe them. After a bit of a boring season of Real Housewives of Miami, man, did things pick up during the live reunion last night? We mean, were we the only ones who were shocked? Every time…
Heartbeats, the second feature from 21-year-old wunderkind Xavier Dolan, is an Instagram of the Way We Fuck Now–or, more precisely, the way gorgeously costumed and coiffed French-Canadian early twentysomethings fuck and/or fail to fuck, while tripping over their own misguided attempts to land in love. The film, which opens at…
Just like pilgrims descending from the Mayflower onto American soil, The Real Housewives of Miami broke ground last night by being the first housewives cast to have a live reunion. The result felt something like The View on crack. What pioneers! But, we have to admit, the live format seemed…
The Real Housewives of Miami — or what we like to think of as the televised equivalent of an amuse-gueule (thanks, Top Chef) for the new season of The Real Housewives of New York — is about to wrap with a live reunion on Watch What Happens Live! tonight at…
Your Highness plays like a dirty-joke blooper reel made by the cast of a junky sword-and-sorcery epic, streaked with carelessly contemporary-sounding blue humor, blunt profanity replacing the naughty-naughty, tankard-sloshing, heaving-bosom ribaldry that goes with the period setting. The scene: a generic medieval realm from an EverQuest or Forgotten Realms module. In…
Sometimes Cultist gets stick for our posts on reality TV shows like Real Housewives of Miami and Basketball Wives. Well, stop hatin’. These shows are based in Miami, they’re crazy popular, and they’re part of who we are, like it or not. So what if they’re harbingers of the end…
Most of us might have spent our extracurricular time in high school trying to get laid, drinking cough syrup, or arguing with our friends about what attributes would best compose a kick-ass robot. That’s why we’re particularly excited about Bots High, Joey Daoud’s feature length documentary. The doc follows a…
Opening Night for the Florida Marlins is tonight and we’d like to say that we are excited about the team’s prospects. But we can’t. Not really. The Fish have been about average the past several seasons, and we expect them to hover at about that this year. It’ll be their…
The opening title card of François Ozon’s 1977-set Potiche seems to take design inspiration from the exploitation films of that period–a sneaky-smart way of nodding to one of this pastel-colored political farce’s key topics, if not its stylistic mode. As Suzanne, Catherine Deneuve plays the title role, which translates as…

Insidious: The Saw duo takes us through a haunted house
