This Is the End (2013)
By: Frankie B. (A Toast) - This Is the End is one of those movies that sounds awesome on paper, but seems like it would be hard to execute in real life. I am a huge fan of Jay Baruchel and Seth Rogen, so I was all in on this movie as soon as I heard
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)
By: Oberst Von Berauscht (A Toast) - The crew of the Federation Starship Enterprise return for the Sixth and final time commanded by James T. Kirk (William Shatner). An environmental disaster has left the Klingon Empire crippled, with their natural resources nearly depleted. The Klingons reach out to Federation with an Olive Branch, offering an
Micmacs (2009)
By: Chris Sheridan (A Toast) - By their nature, revenge films are dark, violent, and depressing. The characters are unlikable and flawed, and things rarely end happily for anyone involved. I love the formula of revenge movies—they are my favorite type of film (which probably speaks volumes about me that I’ll be figuring out over years
Much Ado About Nothing (2013)
By: B-Side (A Toast) - Those not already familiar with the dirty pun embedded in the title ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ might be surprised to discover that Joss Whedon and friends’ home-movie version begins with sex. There certainly is sex, flirting, angst, marriage, and the mistaken or performed identities we take on in romantic relationships present in
The Fifth Element (1997)
By: Kingsley Crabtree (A Toast) - This is. My favorite movie. Of all time. OF. ALL. TIME. Oh hey, guys, did I tell you that The Fifth Element is my favorite movie of all time? Yes? Good. We can proceed with the shameless pandering to the brilliance that is this SciFi gem. Sixteen years after this
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
By: Oberst Von Berauscht (A Toast) - The crew of the starship “Enterprise” encounter an old foe in Kahn Noonian Singh (Ricardo Montalbán). Khan is a genetically altered Sikh warrior from the Earth’s distant past, a time when a great Eugenics war was fought with genetically altered humans… the mid 90s… That explains Oasis, at
Annie Hall (1977)
By: Byron Davel (A Toast) - Annie Hall, the girl all the fuss is about. An intellectual story about love and decision making and deconstructing everyday life and seeing how things work between people. A very mature, hilarious, passionate story about Alvy Singer’s view on love and relationships. Woody Allen directed, wrote, and starred in this masterpiece
Family Guy: Blue Harvest (2007)
By: Shaun Wren (A Toast) - You would never have thought that the biggest movie franchise ever could be made into a comedy but back in 2007 Family Guy creator and huge Star Wars fan Seth MacFarlane did just that after many episodes featuring the sci-fi classic. The creators and writers decided to make feature
Zodiac (2007)
By: Ayden Walker (A Toast) - Spielberg can do it. Tarantino can do it. Polanski can do it. The Coen brothers can do it. These filmmakers are capable of intriguing, captivating, disturbing, and sometimes amusing cinema-goers through one skill: dialogue. And David Fincher has proved a worthy addition to that list. This creepily dark thriller
Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011)
By: Henry J. Fromage (A Toast) – I like food as much as the next guy, but with my college-dulled palate, I’ve never been much of a foodie. That’s affected my movie viewing habits a touch as it’s led me to largely ignore a large subgenre of documentaries- the kitchen/culinary docs. I’d heard great things
