(left to right): Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Columbus Short, Idris Elba and Oscar Jaenada go for a walk in "The Losers." PHOTO: Warner Brothers “The Losers” is a stylishly shot, ADD-inflicted, brain-dead action movie that’s not as clever as it wants to be but show-stopping performances from Chris Evans and Jason Patric, a brisk pace and a light-hearted attitude to the silly material make it worth checking out. When a movie... Read More →

After this film, Jennifer Lopez may be the one needing to look for a career back-up plan.  PHOTO: CBS Films

After this film, Jennifer Lopez may be the one needing to look for a career back-up plan. PHOTO: CBS Films “The Back-Up Plan” is a dull, predictable and frustrating “romantic comedy” that lacks genuine laughs, interesting characters and a compelling romance– you know, everything a good romantic comedy needs. Though stars Jennifer Lopez and Alex O’Loughlin share passable chemistry, the film is more or less a dumb, unfunny... Read More →

Guru Updates.

As most of you know, Keith “GURU” Elam passed away on April 19th. Hip-Hop has only been without one of it’s pioneers for three days and the deluge of electronic tears flowing all over the Internet are incredible. All of this drama that Guru’s family is encountering really breaks my heart. Let me get you up to speed with the situation, at least as much as I can. The last weekend in February, Guru was rushed to the hospital after suffering a severe heart attack. That heart attack... Read More →

Trip-Hop Thursdays: UNKLE And Their Upcoming Album, “Where Did The Night Fall”

UNKLE is one of the greatest in terms of the trip-hop genre. Like most of trip-hop acts, UNKLE is another diverse trip-hop collaboration in terms of genre. The one thing that differs UNKLE from the rest of the pack is the fact that they also bring in other musicians from other completely different genres. In one of UNKLE’s many incarnations (as they like to call it), we’ve heard collaborations from DJ SHadow (which was actually a official member at some point), Thom Yorke from Radiohead,... Read More →

Black Violins bring classical music to hip-hop.

Black Violins bring classical music to hip-hop. If hip-hop made sweet love to classical music it’s offspring would be “Black Violin”. Picture this, a DJ spins a hip-hop track track, while two violinists playin’ sweet nothings into you ear. Then throw in freestyling melodies and riffs that make your inner bigwig come out to bob your head. That’s in essence who Black Violin is. Comprised of Kev Marcus an FIU alum who plays the violin, Will B. an FSU alum who okays the... Read More →

Knausberry Farm: Amish? No. Yummy? Yes!

Who doesn’t love a good cinnamon roll? What about a good milkshake or some homemade ice cream? (Fine, you’re on a diet and you’re only eating fruits and veggies. You would be wise to break that diet ASAP!) Well, whatever your taste buds desire, Knausberry Farm is sure to satisfy any craving in the most natural and organic way possible. And for 50 years, Ray and Barbara Knaus have been doing just that. Every year you hear 305′ers commenting, “Oh, I can’t wait ’til... Read More →

Judas Taylor Signs With Rivals JETS

The Hatfields and the McCoys. The Bloods and the Crips. Tom and Jerry. Marty McFly and the Biff Tannen. What do they all have in common? That’s right…bitter hatred. These are enemies who despise each other with the very fiber of their souls. Much like the greatest team on Earth, the Miami Dolphins and those shit-munchers, the New York Jets. Rivals. Enemies. Highlanders. Teams with much, much beef. So you can imagine how floored I was when I found out the news. Oh,... Read More →

The Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade was a huge success. Everywhere you turned you could see the excitement, the freedom, the peace, and mostly the pride. From young to old, from gay to straight and everything in between, there was not a single person that didn’t enjoy themselves. You could even see people’s pets having fun. The music was pumping. You couldn’t stand still. People danced, sang, ate, drank, played and just showed the love. The performances were overpowering. The crowd... Read More →
