This weekend:
5TH AVENUE CINEMA PRESENTS
This Is the End
Dir. seth rogen & evan goldberg (2013); US; english; 107 min
Programmed by Clara Johnson
The world descends into chaos and fire while two best friends with a strained relationship are at a celebrity house party. Luckily they are stuck inside a secure, concrete mansion, but perhaps they will not outlive the distrustful friendships within the group left
at the end of the world.
This is the End encapsulates 2013 like no other and quite frankly feels like a successful version of the movies kids would make at sleepovers on iMovie… but instead of these humble attempts at youth filmmaking imagine we were all rich famous actor kids who had to endure an apocalypse with a budget high enough to make literally anything happen. Just go with it.
