It was a day to bundle up and head out to Treasure Island to get bomboloni from Mister Bomboloni, San Franciscos. See. It’s not all doom and gloom over here…. Couldn’t make it today, San Franciscos? Then, head out to get bomboloni from Mister Bomboloni tomorrow, hostless-Oscars Sunday, and pick up some treats for dem […]
Author: Martin Haro
I am a Peruvian-born journalist based in San Francisco, Calif. I used to report and write about film; entertainment; LGBT life in the South Beach, Fla., of the aughts; and higher education; got started pretty much ever since I first came to live in America in 2000.
I cut my teeth at "Wire" magazine on South Beach, and went on to write for my Movie Martin blog, as well as for "Miami Living," Florida International University (my alma mater), and the Bay Area's Academy of Art University, contributing reports to E! Online and "Us Weekly" along the way.
King of Cups is my new empirical, memoiristic non-linear independent writing exercise through which I tell you stories, sometimes.
Get Hooked
The Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival – a bacchanalia I attended pretty much every winter when I lived in Miami Beach – is now in full swing, with more than 100 events on schedule for its 18th annual edition as one of the Magic City’s premier fundraising efforts benefiting […]
Los Grammys!
I have decided I don’t care what anybody has to say or for the jabs some have taken: Jennifer Lopez was asked to bring something to last Sunday’s Grammy Awards, the 61st annual, and Jennifer Lopez did that: She brought it. And, then, the shoulding began. Hey! Carrie Bradshaw warned us against shoulding. It is […]
San Francisco 1.18.19
How lucky am I, to have seen two James Rosenquists, two months apart, on two different coasts. It’s the American Dream. Now, I’m not sure about “Women’s Intuition (After Aspen),” which caught my eye at the Pérez Art Museum Miami during #MiamiArtWeek2018, but I can tell you that the fantastic “Leaky Ride for Dr. Leakey,” currently […]
The Race Is On
Now that that’s all behind us – the new year! that really weird (when you think about it) #TrumpShutdown due to that racist, capricious, unnecessary wall of a campaign promise that shall go on unkept because it all an expensive absurdity! the latest controversy! – I propose that “What’s your end game?” soon becomes the “What’s […]
The Denim Diaries 4
Electricity needn’t be a privilege for which anyone should pay out the nose. At this point in history, I’m happy to pay a nominal fee, along with everybody else (big businesses ought to pay according to size), for something that the powers that be have made necessary. For billions of people. And where there still […]
The Hartbreak3rs Collective
Heartbreakers is on, you guys. Talk about a pre-9/11 movie – a comedy, no less – that’s held up good. It is so good. Jennifer Love Hewitt is riding her first big wave. OMG, she was on the cover of the first Teen People three years prior – she was the wave! Two years after Galaxy Quest, […]
The Collective 2.018
Revolution was in the air in 2018, and it showed at the movies. Three years into one of the most troubling, depressing, aggroying periods I have seen the United States of America endure and put itself through (been here almost 20 years, folks – let’s get it the fuck back together), filmmakers, in turn, continued to […]
Thinking Caps On!
This is a cap. A blue cap from a plastic bottle of water. A cap carelessly – no second thought (heck, I bet not a thought, indeed) – discarded on Van Ness Avenue last night for…the world to handle. For someone else to sweep off the street. Or pick up. Who knows. Point is, people, […]
