WHO IS TOTO?

christian_tobeyWelcome to What Would Toto Watch? The newspaper industry’s decline has forced publications to gut their entertainment sections.

WWTW provides not just the film and DVD reviews too often left out as a result, but breaking movie news as well as commentary that goes beyond marketing spin.

I’m Christian Toto, an award-winning journalist, radio commentator and film critic with more than a decade of daily newspaper, magazine and web-related experience.

I provide film content for Movies in Toto, the film community at washingtontimes.com, Boxoffice.com and am a member of both the Washington, D.C. Area Film Critics Association (WAFCA) and the Denver Film Critics Society. I contribute to The Denver Post, MovieMaker Magazine, Big Hollywood, Donne Tempo, Denver Magazine, Human Events and Pajamas Media.

You can connect with me via social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Digg. Or go the old-fashioned route - email cftoto@gmail.com.

Favorite movie? “Raising Arizona,” no questions asked.

RADIO, RADIO

I can be heard each week on WTOP-FM in Washington, D.C. and 94.5 Country in Topeka, Kansas. I also appear regularly on “The Dennis Miller Show,” syndicated nationally. I also contribute to “The Mike Rosen Show,” heard on 850 KOA in Denver.

Check out my latest commentary on Pajamas Media’s PJM political show on XM Radio channel 130. (I appear about a half-hour into the show, right after James Lileks talks about AMC’s “Mad Men”).

Here’s me chatting up Dennis Miller about “Indiana Jones” and other summer blockbusters.

UPDATE: Check out my interview with Dennis about the Golden Globe 2008 nominations.

who’s that sitting next to george clooney, medea benjamin?

cftoto 07.10.08 at 9:42 pm

I’d post who is sitting next to Clooney here, but it’s fun having people guess who it is …

John M 07.16.08 at 2:53 pm

It’s Frances McDormand, I betcha.

Dagnabbitt 07.21.08 at 7:35 pm

Of *course* it is Frances McDormand: casting couch, nepotism, AND consistent Academy Award-winning performances combine to ensure her appearance in a Coen Bros. film

I, too, like the new site, Toto - may the hits keep coming…..

Hey Chris, Sheila is here. Just talking to your mom about the Christ Picture you did for me in 1990 when you were living in Sunnyside. Now in Lynbrook. Sheila will comment on the site but we were talking about you affectionately and Sheila filled me in on the new wife, life and baby Elijah. Got pix? Elizabeth. Oh, the picture is still on my wall and I love it. E.
