Take that, Internet! Print's not dead, it's just evolving. And that means going niche. Mugly Media has seized upon a particular niche that is sure to bring in the readers and advertisers: mugshots.

Capitalizing on the popularity of sites like The Smoking Gun, Mugly media has debuted Busted and Mugly newspapers, which make use of mugshots in Austin, TX, and Dallas/Ft. Worth, respectively. Read more

The films featured in this second round-up leave me only a smidge more enthused than the last three titles from this year’s New Directors/New Films slate that I’ve seen. Not even the lovely and amazing Hiam Abbass could save something as plodding and under-done as Every Day is a Holiday and when that lady can’t save your movie, hoo boy, you’re sunk. It’s equally dispiriting to note that Ben Wheately’s Down Terrace, which is being not completely inaccurately sold as a British tragic-comedy along the lines of The Sopranos, is the best film I’ve seen this year. Heck, even Night Catches Us, a humdrum historical melodrama about growing up black in a post-Black Panthers Philadelphia suburb, has its moments. Just not enough of them to earn more than faint-hearted praise. Read more

It took moving from the South Carolina to New York City for Jennie Arnau to realize her heart was in country music. “When I came up here, I just wanted to get away from the South,” she says.

Arnau arrived in NYC with plans of trying out a new sound. “I didn’t really play my type of music, I played more rock and roll and hung out with a lot more grungier, college music type crowd,” she said. “But it took going away from all of it [the southern music scene] to find it.” Read more

It's a beautiful day in New York City, and that means it's time to do whatever it takes to escape the office—even if it means talking to PR people who are way too excited about things that aren't that exciting. Since it pretty much feels like the first day of Spring, it's also the beginning of weird outdoor promotional events. Lunchtime in Madison Square Park today saw Zyrtec promoting it's new liqui-gel tabs. I'm going to make fun of this PR event because, come on, it's a PR event, but let's be clear: Zyrtec is actually awesome. When I somehow became allergic to my own dog upon returning home from college, you were there for me, Zyrtec, and I'll never forget that. Rest in peace, Daisy. Read more

Nathan Sawaya’s works make your kids’ Lego sculptures look even more like crap. For the past six years, he’s worked as an artist and earned a living creating large, awe-inspiring sculptures out of thousands of pieces of Lego. His studio currently holds 1.5 million pieces. His new show at Agora Gallery will be the first time a fine art gallery exhibits works where the medium is solely Lego bricks, and it’s also his first solo show in New York City, his home for the past 19 years. What with Christoph Neimann's lego-focused book, it seems to be a renaissance in Lego love. Read more

Last week SNL’s parody of the Brinks Home Security commercials made us realize just how far-fetched this service is. Does a loud alarm really stop a burglar in their tracks? Are all of the call centers from fifty years in the future and controlled by only clean-shaven 30 year-old guys? And is it only single women who are vulnerable to burglars?
Now Best Week Ever has compiled Brinks greatest fear-filled moments with actual footage from the commercials. They were ridiculous before, but this is really special. Read more

Now that the Gowanus Canal has been deemed a Superfund site it can finally get its sludgy hands on some real money in an attempt to turn from ooze-filled swamp hole into just a regularly gross waterway. The promise mountains of cash has lead to some ideas that are being referred to as “out of the box,” mostly to cover up the fact that they are as crazy as they are expensive. Read more

The Bounty Hunter: Gerard Butler plays yet another boorish guy that talks with his crotch in this “romantic” comedy co-starring Jennifer Aniston as a fugitive that Butler’s titular bounty hunter brings back to justice. Sparks don’t fly.

City Island: Andy Garcia leads the cast of this indie domestic comedy about the family ties and the secrets that hold a family together. Read more

Forget the multiple deaths in the first 20 minutes of Justified, FX’s new drama starring Timothy Olyphant (pictured) as a U.S. Marshall: The real terror for Olyphant’s Raylan Givens is the reality of going back home. Read more

If FX’s Archer is a deliberate throwback to the stylish and cool cartoons like The Pink Panther, then Comedy Central’s new Ugly Americans owes a clear debt to shows like Ren and Stimpy: deliberate gross-out gags abound, drawn, along with everything else, in a palette of earth tones. But Ugly Americans has a sweetness to it that Ren and Stimpy always lacked. Read more

Film reviews have been pouring in from Austin since last week at the annual South by Southwest Festival (SXSW). Sadly, I don’t have the money to trek to the Lone Star state (donations are welcome). To celebrate the festival from afar, let’s live vicariously through some reviews of films set in or about New York or just filmed by New Yorkers. Read more

Contrary to popular belief, Air isn’t actually an electronic act, and if you never realized it, tonight’s show at Terminal 5 might finally get the point across. Since releasing their latest album Love 2, core members Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel have been appearing live backed only by a drummer, a more spacious than usual presentation which leaves plenty of room for the more wobbly aspects of their music to come across. Space has always factored prominently in Air’s work, but the duo’s knack for crafty production usually disguises the human imperfections they otherwise wear on their sleeve. Godin explained to New York Press yesterday that he and Dunckel never use computer-generated sequences, and that they prefer instead to play everything by hand.Read more

"I just wanna see Zooey," someone said. Then we all packed in a little tighter. This was Cedar Street Courtyard, around 10 P.M. last night. I really like She And Him (actress Zooey Deschanel's throwback musical pair-up wth M. Ward), and it turns out everyone else does, too. Whereas I appreciate the well-crafted retro-sincere pop tunes, it seems most people are more interested in Deschanel's mere existence as a famous person. Hence the front row of stone faces as Desch ran through "Sentimental Heart," the very first cut off their first record mid-set. If anyone knew the words, they didn't care to sing all (I did). I saw one chick mouth along new single "In The Sun," but I had to look back several rows to find her. Another woman effectively turned the affair into fashion week with her one sentence review as we were exiting post-performance: "she was cute." Read more
