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
Rear Window (1954)
By: B-Side (A Toast) - From the living room of an apartment building, bay windows look out onto a courtyard, a bit of street, and the corresponding windows of other apartments. Through those windows are people of all types and stripes, unaware they’re being observed. What do you see? What should you see? Rear Window is the kind of
The Chumscrubber (2005)
By: Byron Davel (A Toast) - What an interesting movie. I first watched this movie when I was about 12, down in Durban and didn’t know what on earth was happening. But second and third time round, damn was it brilliant, a movie about ‘ The Chumscrubber’ a person who helps kids and parents deal with problems
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)
By: Chris Sheridan (A Toast) - You all know the story: a human girl falls in love with a vampire guy. It is a forbidden love, but as we know, the most alluring things are the ones we should not have. Still, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) fought through the prejudices of others
Spider-Man (2002)
By: Katherine Balestrini (A Toast) - A classic tale of boy loves girl next door, gets bit by spider, turns into an AWESOME Spider-Man. He can do anything a spider can, climb anything, fly through the air with nought but some web and is more flexible than any spider I have ever ran screaming away from.
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) Rebuttal
By: The Cinephiliac (A Toast) - If you consider yourself a film buff or someone that is in any way passionate about film, chances are you’ve seen Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. If not, it’s probably sitting in your Netflix queue right now. Not viewing this film is like a clergyman having never read
Misfits (TV Series)
By: Byron Davel (A Toast) - This is the most unique television show I have seen. Comedy, Romance, Action, Drama, Suspense, Horror, Sci-fi and Fantasy. I really wanted to do a review on this show so I can tell everyone how I feel about it and hopefully to let the thousands of Movieboozers out there
The End (2012)
By: Henry J. Fromage (A Toast) – The last several years have seen an explosion of professional quality short films popping up on Youtube and Vimeo, some even drawing the attention of Hollywood and yielding feature-length film deals. Of the bunch that I’ve check out so far, though, none have been so consistently depressing and
Raising Arizona (1987)
By: Abby Olcese (A Toast) - There are few directors out there who began their careers as impressively as Joel and Ethan Coen. They started off with a bang in 1987 with Blood Simple, and haven’t really quit since. That first film was a seedy, scary crime thriller. Their follow up, a mere three years
Iron Man 3 (2013)
By: The Cinephiliac (A Toast) - After the events that took place in The Avengers, billionaire playboy and mechanical genius Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) has finally settled down as a slightly changed man with the love of his life Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow). Unfortunately for Tony, he is far from adjusting to the simple life, instead, staying
