It has taken almost two years for the bonkers, exhilarating same-sex romantic comedy I Love You Phillip Morris to finally reach theaters. In the interim, we’ve bided our time with big-screen depictions of man-to-man love such as Brüno and Colin Firth’s suicidal fusspot A Single Man. Save it, Mary: Nothing…
Boldly reanimating the comic Western that secured John Wayne his Oscar 41 years ago, the Coen brothers’ True Grit is well-wrought, if overly talkative, and seriously ambitious, returning the Coens to the all-American sagebrush and gun smoke landscape that has best nourished their wise-guy sensibility. This perverse buddy tale, in…
Is W magazine obsessed with New Times? First they nabbed an interview with our Art Basel coverboy Bert Rodriguez, and now they’re profiling one of our picks from our People Issue, Jillian Mayer. Okay, with the first, maybe we were trying to get their attention by painting Rodriguez’s bare ass…
What the heck makes someone famous these days? People with real talent are singing at your local bars while people like Kim Zolciak and Danielle Staub are on their second single. And the queen of being famous for no reason is, without a doubt, Kim Kardashian. Yet, we can’t be…
We as a nation adore everything New Jersey. We love the people, their establishments, and and anything regarding the Garden State. And don’t try to deny it: We all helped Mike “The Situation” make $5 million dollars this year. And one thing we can’t get enough of: New Jersey’s housewives…
On last night’s Basketball Wives, things started off big. Then there was Gloria, who by the way, most of the ladies hate with a passion. At least she is actually on the way to being a wife with her engagement to barely famous Kevin Barnes. Or was she engaged to…
When Cultist schedules an interview with critically acclaimed celebrities, we do our best in terms of punctuality. On the other hand, celebrities are notoriously late and rarely apologize for the inconvenience. That’s not the case with actor Manola Cardona, though, he’s a mensch. And in our eyes, he just might…
Oh, reality TV. How you take up so very much of our time. Over here at Cultist, we love ourselves some unscripted (well, semi-unscripted) drama. Especially when the program involves angry women. First, we had Bad Girls Club and now we have Basketball Wives. And these ladies are a truly…
If a huge disaster were to strike, and two people were to fall in love trying to escape the havoc, would the end result be a movie as trite as you might imagine? In this case, the answer is an assured, but not resounding, “no.” British director Gareth Edwards, best…
Jeff Bridges is God and, as image-captured from the original 1982 Tron, he’s also the devil in Disney’s mega-million dollar reboot, Tron: Legacy. The notion of a tragically split persona might have been scripted to give the new movie a measure of emotional gravitas, but why bother with writing when…
The Fighter is based on the true story of Lowell, Massachusetts light welterweight champ “Irish” Micky Ward, but, starring Boston working-class hero Mark Wahlberg, it plays as a Rocky-fied fairy tale for our time: Consigned to Palookaville, a sweet, unassuming boxer with more heart than brains steps up — all…
A brave, odd duck of a romantic comedy from James L. Brooks, How Do You Know strays as far from a barrel of laughs as a writer-director formed by network television can get without losing his grip altogether. Reese Witherspoon stars, in fetchingly scanty frocks, as a pro-athlete newly cut…
Fans of all shapes, sizes, and ages watch the Bad Girls Club Miami and why wouldn’t they? Who doesn’t love to watch female lushes beat the crap out of others and each other? It’s entertainment at its finest. And people not only like watching the show, they like reading about…
Before there were terrorists, there were older brothers. They convinced our five-year-old selves that vacuum cleaners were really crazed, human-eating machines and that Brussels sprouts were actually decomposing alien heads. Thanks to them, we are now veggie-hating adults with really dirty floors. But local filmmaker Daniel Cardenas should appreciate his…
We are worried about Miami. We’re not going to be like Khloe Kardashian and compare anything to the “R” word, but the Magic City has been through some trauma. First, we were violated by the Jersey Shore, then Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami, and then Bad Girls Club. And let’s…
We all make fun of the kids from the Jersey Shore like it’s our job, especially here at Cultist (because it actually is our job). But apparently, the joke is on us. Did you know that Mike “The Situation” and Pauly D are two of the top ten biggest earning…
A massive project, taken up lightly by Disney in the giddy post-Lord of the Rings atmosphere and dropped upon failing to return the requisite billions, this third adaptation from C. S. Lewis’s seven-volume (!) Chronicles of Narnia comes underwritten by a new studio, 20th Century Fox, and with a new…
Airily disregarding the Hemingway Unadaptability Principle, this quaintly racy version of Papa’s most hated novel has a few bullets in its barrel: Dynasty scion Jack Huston, as the Hem avatar, is dull but physically a perfect fit; the Mediterranean tourist-porn is addictive; and the story, unique in this particular corpus,…
If there’s one thing we know about South Florida, it’s that it has a large population of singles. Why? There are a ton of beautiful people in the 305; there’s always a good time to be had as well as lots of beds to wake up in. And guys, if…
