Not to overreact or anything, but if you missed last week’s episode of Basketball Wives, you should be deeply ashamed of yourself. Evelyn Lozada chucked a bottle of wine at Kenya Bell because she called her “loose,” and it all went down at a very nice restaurant. What, pray tell,…
If you like hotels, boy are you gonna love watching TV this summer!And if you don’t, well, such is the curse of summertime programming.Reality TV producers, having already brought viewers into the scintillating worlds of taxidermy, antiquing, and transporting large items, are ready to put yet another industry in the…
WICKED HAWT PECS, MARKY MARK. The famous actor who now insists on being called Mark Wahlberg is in Miami, starring in a Michael Bay adaptation of a circa-2000 New Times investigation, Pain & Gain. He went to the beach yesterday with his wife and kids, and we are proud to…
And now, some news so exciting you’ll want to jump in the air like a naked dude getting sprung from the trunk of a car: Ken Jeong has joined the cast of Pain and Gain. Jeong is, of course, the actor who played manic gangster Leslie Chow in The Hangover…
If you haven’t checked out Magic City by now, you only have yourself to blame. The world premiere of the Starz series premiere took place here in Miami in March. And the first three episodes have been streaming online for almost a week now. Still, for old-fashioned, out-of-town Luddites who’ve…
Y’know what the first Rock of Ages trailer was missing? Tom Cruise singing.Most of the newest trailer for the film, which hit the web this week, is exactly the same as the one we brought to you in December. But there is one big difference: the dulcet tones of Cruise’s…
Below the giant wave of Hunger Games mania that washed over the U.S. last month, an unhappy undercurrent of haters sat behind their computers grumbling that the story of the film directly mimics Battle Royale, another film based on a book that opened in Japan to wide acclaim in 2000…
Mark Wahlberg, star of The Fighter, is probably used to a little bit of physical abuse on the set. Maybe he even enjoys it.At least that’s what we were telling ourselves as we watched him sprint, tumble, and dangle precariously above the asphalt — taking it all in with amusement.This…

The Forgiveness of Blood at O Cinema April 5-8
When Lifetime’s new show, Dance Moms: Miami, was announced a few months ago, it polarized the nation. (Well, the trashy reality TV-watching parts of it, anyway.) Some cried out against yet another onslaught of programming about overbearing parents and their poor, overworked children who’ll be fueling the mental therapy industry…
If you’re devoted Basketball Wives fans like we are, you probably caught last night’s episode and thought, “Finally!” Yep, this show is finally right where we like it: dramatic and bougier than ever.Thanks to baby Jesus himself, we caught back up with the ladies poolside at the Perry Hotel (AKA…
Flashback to the gym scene, circa 1995. Nipple-grazing tanks, spandex shorts, and Chuck Taylors abound (as do ‘roid rages and tacky fades). Lucky us — these glory days are returning to the streets of Miami with Michael Bay’s newest flick, Pain and Gain. And the film’s casting directors held an…

So you caught the premiere of Magic City at the Miami International Film Festival earlier this month, and you’re hooked. One problem: You can’t afford premium cable, so won’t be able to see what happens next when the show makes its debut on Starz April 6.Worry not — Starz has…
We Americans can’t be blamed for our “mob mentality” when we think of Sicilian and Italian culture. The ubiquity and mass appeal of gangster movies like the Godfather trilogy, Scarface, Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco, and of course The Sopranos series would convince anyone that the number one industry in all of…
Can’t get enough Cocaine? (Cocaine Cowboys, we mean.)Then dust yourself off and prepare for some exciting news: There’s another sequel in the works to Rakontur’s breakthrough documentary chronicling Miami’s drug trade.We were already feeling a little overwhelmed with the outpouring of love for Rakontur this week, what with the weeklong…
We’ve been watching the construction of the Sun Gym set for Pain and Gain with equal parts excitement and horror. On one hand, we love watching movies that are actually shot in Miami. On the other: Michael Bay’s not exactly known for his cinematic masterpieces, and last month’s rumor that…
