Pieta (2012)

pieta-main-review

By: Henry J. Fromage (Four Beers) – South Korea has gotten quite the reputation as an exporter of delightful, fully little romantic comedies fit for the whole family.  This summer, Pieta will roll into theaters, and right into your hearts… Record scratch Nope, this is South Korean critically acclaimed fare, and furthermore, it’s from provocateur


Shutter Island (2010)

Shutter-Island-Main-Review

By: Eddie Duncan (Two Beers) - In the wake of a classic turned movie’s recent premiere, The Great Gatsby for those left wondering, I thought it might be nice to take a short stroll down memory lane of one of the greatest actors of all time: Leonardo DiCaprio in ‘Shutter Island’. Another book turned movie


The Loneliest Planet (2012)

TheLoneliestPlanet-main-review

By: Henry J. Fromage (Two Beers) – If you happen to be a fan both of globetrotting and movies, you’ve probably noticed by now the lack of films that properly convey what it feels like to travel on the cheap and off the beaten path.  Basically, if you aren’t Hilton rich, you’ve probably never had


Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011)

JiroDreamsOfSushi-Main-Review

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)

rear-window-main-review

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)

chumscrubber-main_review

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


Gone with the Wind (1939)

Gone with the wind

By: Oberst Von Berauscht (Six Pack) - Arguably the most beloved movie of all time, and adjusted for inflation, still by far the most successful.  Gone with the Wind tells the story of Scarlett O’Hara (Vivian Leigh), the spoiled daughter of a plantation owner, and her quest for an unhappy life by falling in love


Mosquita y Mari (2012)

By: Rob Perez (Two Beers) - So you know how it is. You hear about a film where the central characters are female. Interested. They’re both young. Still interested. Latina. Very interested. And they’re both lesbian. Very, very . . . well, you see where I’m going. What was the darling of many independent film festivals in


The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)

Twilight-Eclipse-Main-Review

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


Doom (2005)

By: Kingsley Crabtree (Three Beers) - It’s the age of the geek, baby, and every so often you run across the Janet Jackson of Sci/Fi films; bad in the best way, nasty in all the right places, and pure unadulterated fun. Doom is all of that and more. This is a spectacular guilty pleasure movie, much
