	"Piñero" \| Tribes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The movie about Miguel Pinero’s life reinforces the view no matter how creative Puerto Ricans in the U.S. are we’re still a bunch of savages.
		The Miguel Pinero and Nuyoricans of the late seventies at the Sixth Street location (a space markedly different that the current incarnation on Third Street that’s jarringly used for the movie) were much richer than what I saw on screen.
		Even the founding of the 6th Street Cafe - portrayed as a move by Algarin to get Pinero and his boys out of his hair - contradicts what Algarin himself held true in the Cafe’s infancy, “At one point we were using Joe Papp’s space at 4 Astor place by the Public Theater.

		The director/writer, Leon Ichaso, lays the irresponsible Miguel's bad trip down to his Puerto Rican heritage, as Piñero has the audacity to claim he's the authentic Puerto Rican fighting to keep his roots and those who choose assimilation into American culture are the ones who sold out.
		The story is manufactured to be all about him grooving along on jive, as he goes from one bad moment to the next.
		But one thing came through loud and clear: Piñero seems as hypocritical as the middle-class he rails against, as he has no trouble living it up in style when the money was flowing.
