From the start of Kevin Smith‘s career, he’s shown an endless amount of talent and ambition. Even his big studio pictures carry an endearing respect to the art of independent cinema. He is constantly challenging himself by creating characters, stories, settings and themes that most young adults can seemingly relate to. With Clerks, his knack for creating crafty dialogue about relationships, hockey and even Star Wars, turned heads every which way. Being confined to a convenient... Read More →
I’m no stranger to controversial films. I tend to go out of my way to find these, actually, as I’m always on the tip of constantly wanting to be challenged. Ideally, I believe that’s what films should be about. As much as they entertain, it’s even better to find a film that incites emotions, outrage, controversy, discussion, etc… That said, let me tell you how I stumbled upon this film. I was surfing the internet to find updates on the Sundance Film Festival’s... Read More →
PASSIONE Sometime box office thrillers just wont cut it. The same old plots at the same old theater. Luckily for you Miami holds many cinemamtic treasures to keep your weekend busy with indie films and off the beaten path good times. Here are two films you may want to check out… You probably best remember John Turturro from his roles in Do The Right Thing, Barton Fink, Quiz Show and The Big Lebowski. The actor made a name for himself with his versatility, but his talents don’t end there. In... Read More →
![[Movie Review] The Tree of Life is philosophy personified through the medium of film.](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/The-Tree-of-Life-2011-190x190.jpg)
Terrence Malick is considered to be more of an entity in the world of filmmaking. It’s hard to believe that with just five films in a career spanning four decades, there isn’t one person in the film business that doesn’t look at Malick as an important figure in filmmaking. The Tree of Life is a sincere display of ambition from a director that aims to blur the lines of a film’s impact and ultimately bring his audiences to be more involved. He is a filmmaker with an...

![[Movie review]: “Rubber” Emerges As An Arthouse B-movie With Something To Say](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/rubber-190x190.jpg)
Quentin Dupieux is quite an interesting artist. Known mainly as Mr. Oizo, a pseudonym for his electronic music persona, Dupieux has been crossing boundaries into the realm of filmmaking since 2002. The main difference is, unlike most ego-maniac rap artists, he’s continuing to treat the art of filmmaking as an art…and not a paycheck or exploitation of himself. Rubber is the second full-length feature by the French musician and reviewing it is probably just as hard for me as it is for... Read More →
![[Movie Review]: Beats Rhymes and Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/22013886_Beats-Rhymes-and-Life-The-Travels-of-A-Tribe-Called-Quest-1-552x800.jpg)
“Linden Boulevard represent, represent. Tribe Called Quest represent, represent…” I will open this review by saying that I am a diehard Tribe Called Quest fan. When People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm dropped, I was a shorty, maybe 11-years-old, but Bonita Applebum made me want to have a bigger ass…fact. I think when the lyric, “Can I kick it?” is uttered, the only natural response is, “Yes, you can.” And when Scenario hit,... Read More →
Your Life Is A Movie, Hazel

This one’s for the old souls. For the ones who still hope for happy endings while battling the antagonist. For the ones who love foolishly, completely and without remorse and for the ones who never quite feel at home in their own skin. An independent project by Miami based film maker, Hederr Perez gives you a glimpse on matters of the heart in her first of three short film series: Your Life Is A Movie. The first installment: Your Life Is A Movie, Hazel puts a modern twist on an age-old conflict: She... Read More →
Remember the 80′s Prom at the Vagabond? And watching Dirty Dancing at the SoundScape? Imagine if they got together for 80′s dress up, a movie, dancing and epically cheesy fun. Don’t hold back, find some serious 80′s gear. I know you want to bring out the Madonna and Risky Business looks, but refrain. Be creative, because The Miami Downtown Development Authority is sponsoring FLICKIN’ SUMMER MOVIES, which isn’t your typical summer movie series. You see, it starts... Read More →
![[Antisteez Movies]: Top 10 “Films About Music”](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/214166.1020.A-190x190.jpg)
Please excuse my recent absence. There were a number of contributing factors–like moving into a new building that takes blood samples for background checks, just to name a few. I also haven’t found the time to get to the theater to watch a film these days. Sadly, I don’t feel like I’m missing much. The current summer roster hasn’t added much excitement lately, with the exception of Super 8. If I’m going to spend my hard-earned money to see films and tell you whether... Read More →
![[Movie Preview]: “The Guard” – For fans of “In Bruges” & “Intermission”](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/brendan_gleeson-the_guard-190x190.jpg)
Brendan Gleeson is widely known for the Harry Potter films, but I find his comedic timing to be on a whole different level. After In Bruges, Gleeson has become one of my favorite foreign actors. And now he stars in this new Irish comedy, The Guard. (Preview below.) Don Cheadle also stars in this strange dark comedy that looks as un-P.C. as In Bruges was, if not worse! No street dates announced for Miami, but I’ll let you know as soon as I know. Read More →
![[Movie Review]:Source Code and the Budding Genius of Duncan Jones](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Source-Code-Movie-Poster1-190x190.jpg)
Duncan Jones first appeared on the film circuit in 2009 with the incredibly fresh and original Moon. A one man showcase of the talents of its lead, Sam Rockwell, with the support of a Hal-9000 type computer, voiced by Kevin Spacey, named Gerty. Moon was a practice and homage of the Sci Fi films Jones clearly grew up watching. With visual elements of inspiration drawn from Solaris, Silent Running, and 2001, Moon told the story of a man faced with a major dilemma while working solo on a moon colony... Read More →
We have told you and told you that Hilton Carter is the TRUTH. We have also raved and ranted about his short-film, MOTH, which even HBO loved. (HBO is pretty for serious!) Now, you can peep the film on the interwebs, and so, we are sharing it with you. Watch it. It’s brilliant. He is brilliant. We dig brilliance. Nuff said. -goobs Read More →
