Jets VS Dolphins on Columbus Day

Eddy Martinez — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 23:26:49 +0000

The new NFL campaign has been made with a certain demographic in mind: Latino football fans. And while the ads are funny, the cooler thing is that this huge organization would take the time out to single us out, on Columbus Day! Way to make us feel special, NFL! The game in question is between the Miami Dolphins and the NY Jets and even better, Marc freaking Anthony is performing at the game! To make us feel even more appreciated, the NFL has termed this a flagship game for their "Futbol Americano" project which aims to attract more Latin football fans.

As for Marc Anthony, who co-owns the Dolphins, he will only perform the national anthem yet there will be other stars such as Gloria Estefan (also co-owner of the Dolphins) and the Hispanization goes down to even the names of the teams such as the Dolphins being rechristianed "Los Delfines."

After the jump, watch the videos.

If anything is constant throughout our lives, it’s the changing nature of how we see ourselves. In order to progress or even survive, reinvention is needed but that does not mean progress, it is still only change. That same action can have unintended effects on the people closest to the person going through a change

La Linea

Drug films face the same argument that anti-war films face; in showing the actions of the characters, they end up glamorizing the very thing they are trying to denounce. In La Linea’s case, this isn’t a problem since they make no veiled attempts to show the drug world as anything other than one big shoot

Bajo La Sal

Before Bajo La Sal, I had wondered aloud, when will Mexico’s weirdo’s get their chance, where’s their movie? The murders in Ciudad Juarez have captivated the nation for more than a decade and each month, there seems to be a contest between common criminals for sheer brutality and innovation in killing people. Of course, this

La Milagrosa

Remezcla Estaff — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 21:00:00 +0000

Colombia has endured one of the region’s most prolonged and deadliest conflicts in the Americas. While there have been other films about the conflict, few have captured the pain, fear and sense of fatalism so deeply and so personally as La Milagrosa, directed by Rafael Lara The film tries to not play any side and

Tony Manero

A bleak look at Pinochet-era Chile through the eyes of a man obsessed with Saturday Night Fever, and little else.

All Inclusive

Remezcla Estaff — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 01:00:00 +0000

Families have been fodder for movies since their inception and while the idea hasn’t been original in a long time, some films have the power to, if not to transcend conventions, then at least do it well. All Inclusive (2008) fails at the former and barely succeeds at the latter. The film is about an

Meet Juan Perez Head

Remezcla Estaff — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 01:00:00 +0000

If I can sum up my views towards Meet the Head of Juan Perez it is this: AWESOME! Seriously, how can you hate a movie which has a bunch of fatsos traumatizing fellow workers by disrobing for a poker game or the circus’ lusting for a woman with a limp that would make a polio
