Here following is a brief outline of
what the new sections are called and a little history of what they
were called before, if necessary.
 ome-
Home on CinemaToast has always been home. It's the a page
designed to explain what's here and what's going on. You can
always go Home to reorient yourself. Its good to go Home.
 ovies-
Movies have also always been movies. This is the place where you
find the essays, written by the staff and invited guests, about
movies. Included are a broad gamut from the 1940s (Leave
Her to Heaven), to a series on the Harry
Potter movies. Keep an eye here, we're adding movies
all the time.
 on
Mots- The Bon Mots page has gone through the most name
changes. Originally it was the “Welcoming” page, changed
periodically to explain what was going on here at CinemaToast
and to give our founder a chance to spout off. For a brief time it
was called “Monthly Musings” - more of our founder's
pretension. Now it's called “Bon Mots”- tasty treats for our
visitors. Included here are some former stand-alone pages that
many readers enjoyed, like information on the award-winning Marcia
Gay Harden and speerings on Republic
Studios, creators of exciting movie serials of the
1930s and 1940s.
 ollections-
Collections, as mentioned, used to be called “Rodomontade”.
The area of CinemaToast containing the optical video
collection belonging to us here at The Toast. Optical video
includes laserdiscs and DVDs. Also included are specialized lists
of items of interest to our founder: Disney
and San Francisco
movies.
 ite Map-
A logical layout of
this web site. This
is a good place to start. It's a quick and easy page
to browse and hopefully, you can find something interesting.
 imeline-
Timeline was “Chrono Guide”, a list starting in the present
and working backwards with links to pages on CinemaToast
and their relations to past eras. A good place to see what movie
information we have from the past.
 inally-
Finally we'd like to thank Scott Alexander
without whose help this updating would have been difficult. Scott
is the proprietor of the Red
Hot Jazz Archive, a history of jazz before 1930, and
father of one of our favorite contributors- Valentina
Alexander. Please visit his web site, you won't be
sorry, and read the rapidly maturing writings of Valentina here on
CinemaToast.
We at The Toast love movies. We like
to write about movies, to write about whatever strikes our fancy. We do
not write reviews of films in current release. Sometimes we write
about current movies but we are not
the place to come for information on the latest and the loudest. However
now that you’re here, what would you like to see? Click
