Maybe you’re looking to save a few bucks or the current theater choices just aren’t cutting it. Whatever the case may be, sometimes it’s just as nice to sit at home and watch a good flick. Take a look at this week’s picks for some At-Home Alternatives to the weekly cinema options.
As a beer lover, I often find myself selecting out a brew to fit my mood. And as a movie lover, most of the time the two go hand in hand. So I decided to share some pairings of film and beer that I think go great together. Take a look at my pick of the month and hopefully you will enjoy it.
Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Directed by J.J. Abrams. Starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana.

Happy International Star Wars Day!! The day is here for us to celebrate the magic and excitement of Star Wars! For the last five weeks, we’ve been releasing fun drinking games and delicious beer recommendations for those games, but, alas, our time has come to a close. But don’t cry, our love for Star Wars and these drinking games will carry on a long, long time from now to galaxies far, far away. But to be honest, I highly doubt society will advance to the point where intergalactic travel is commonplace. We haven’t even discovered all surfaces of the earth yet, so what makes the human race remotely capable of exploring space to such detailed lengths? Granted, this could be thousands of years from now, but even then, will Star Wars be around remembered? If it is, bet it’ll be remade 2 or 3 times in that time frame by people with different visions and ambitions for their remakes. Maybe they pull a Gus Van Sant and do shot-for-shot remakes of the films. OR the entire thing is done like a found footage film… I’m rambling with no real depth or course of purpose so I will say this: Happy International Star Wars Day and as a contribution to the celebration, here is The Star Wars Episode Six: Return of the Jedi FTS Drinking Game. May the Force be with you… Always.
We are officially a week from Star Wars Day! And what better way to celebrate that feat than with my favorite, and the favorite of many Star Wars fans, The Empire Strikes Back. Personally, this film is my favorite because it’s not a happy ending. The Rebellion is left searching for a base, one of our heroes is frozen in carbonite stasis and the other could really use a helping hand. But, it’s one of the more important films in the saga because it begins to define its characters, develop their relationships, and introduces us to Yoda. Let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a half-crazy whatever-he-is Jedi master who’s first name could have been Minch (Your Star Wars Fun Fact of the Day). Aside from developing characters and introducing new ones, Empire took us to new systems and planets like Hoth, Bespin, and Degobah. There are way too many reasons why I love this film, but to add another, we here at FTS Drinking Laboratories, have created a fantastical drinking game that will be enjoyed by many in galaxies far far away. So without further ado, I present the Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back FTS Drinking Game! May the force be with you… and NEVER tell me the odds.
I’m constantly being bombarded by people telling him “you haven’t seen ____? You gotta check it out.” Or hearing critics rave “this movie is a classic, a must see.” So I decided that from now on every time he actually watches one of these flicks, I’ll write my take on whether the film will live up to the hype or fall short.
Now comes the fun part! It’s time to revisit the original trilogy and have a bit of fun with the Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope FTS Drinking Game! Now I will say, from this point forward, I’m using the Star Wars Saga Blu-Rays as film reference. These films will have many changes from their original theatrical release and their 1997 re-release and their 2004 DVD release and so on and so forth. Some of the game rules will be based on these changes so if you’re watching the original trilogy on VHS, you’ll be drinking less than those who are watching the DVD/Blu-Rays. Lucky you? Either way, ready yourself for a trip down memory lane with the film that started it all and the Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope FTS Drinking Game! May the force be with you… and seriously, let the wookie win.

Four weeks from today will be May the Fourth; Star Wars Day. This means once you finish Revenge of the Sith, you’ll be halfway to Star Wars Day! But don’t bust out your replica lightsbaer for a battle with your friends and/or really cool girlfriend in celebration just yet! We have four more films to watch, and they only get better from here. Revenge of the Sith sees the power of the Sith grow stronger, revealing their dark lord as they force the Jedi into hiding. We also see the beginnings of the next trilogy fall into place with the birth of heroes and the reemergence of our villains. Celebrate the end of the “Prequels Trilogy” by calling some friends, grabbing some beers and playing the Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith FTS Drinking Game! May the force be with you… like… 97% of the time.
42 (2013) Directed by Brian Helgeland. Starring: Chadwick Boseman, Harrison Ford, & Nicole Beharie. IMDB says: “The life story of Jackie Robinson and his history-making signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers under the guidance of team executive Branch Rickey.”
