Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

Recasting "Alice in Wonderland"

By Damarys Ocaña Perez | 03/09/2010 - 14:00 | 6 Comments

Alice in Wonderland is an eye-popping, trippy ride, but looking over the cast makes you wonder: Why is every single last person white? For that matter, why is nearly everyone in Tim Burton’s 14 feature films white? For a guy who makes heroes out of the marginalized and overlooked, we would think he'd take diversity into...

"Jersey Shore" Latina Guidettes Spoof Oscar Nominees

By Mariela Rosario | 03/03/2010 - 18:00 | 4 Comments

The Jersey Shore cast has been everywhere lately. Seriously, it seems like they may have cloned Snooki and JWoww (God forbid—one of each is enough) because there is no escaping the, ahem, ladies of MTV's breakout reality sensation. Even if you try really, really hard. We've always been of the opinion that if you can't beat...

Berlin Film Festival Spotlight: Julia Bacha's "Budrus"

By Angie Romero | 02/23/2010 - 17:07 | 16 Comments

To tackle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict takes cojones, whether you're a politician, a diplomat, a journalist, an activist, a filmmaker, or a regular citizen on either side of the debate. The conversations surrounding this topic, even with the dearest of friends, can be heated, uncomfortable, and emotional rather than calm, objective, and rational. But that was...

Where Is the Sisterly Love?

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 02/23/2010 - 16:33 | 1 Comment

I love being a woman and celebrating sisterhood, but sometimes I want to shake some of my fellow hermanas. There is just way too much competition amongst women. We sharpen our claws when a cutie passes by and let us not forget how quickly some women turn on each other when success comes a knocking. Can we just put down the haterade?

Unfortunately, as much as...

New Music Alert: Actress Leonor Watling Drops Fourth Album

By Grace Bastidas | 02/23/2010 - 15:45 | 6 Comments

Leonor Watling first registered with U.S. audiences as Alicia, a beautiful ballet student lying in a coma in Pedro Almodovar’s 2002 film Talk to Her. And while the Spanish actress has done other movies, it seems she’s more of a singer these days. When I heard that she dueted with Uruguayan artist Jorge Drexler in...

Dolores dice...Ooh La Latina

By Dolores | 02/19/2010 - 19:00 | 3 Comments

Dear Dolores:

I recently found out that my family does not really have any Hispanic blood coursing through its veins. They’re descendants of French people who stayed behind after the French Mexican war (1861–1867) and changed their names to Hispanic ones. Many of them settled in New Mexico, where my family comes from. Now when someone asks about my...

Are the Self-Proclaimed 'Jersey Shore' Guidettes Actually Latina?

By Mariela Rosario | 02/17/2010 - 11:00 | 27 Comments

When we first heard grumblings of this rumor a few weeks ago we chose to ignore it because, quite frankly, we weren't really sure we wanted to claim any of the cast members of Jersey Shore! But whispers have turned to shouts and yesterday Jenni "JWOWW" Farley paid a little visit to...
