To link a pair of Hollywood actors not only through the roles they’ve played and the costars to whom they’re connected; and to do so through the fact that one of them was born and the other one died on this! very! day!; and to also connect the relatively small criteria that one of these [...]

Thought we’d try something a shade different this week with our movie foodgrab and see if you can guess the title of the 1995 film where we see the following at just over the seven-minute mark:
Or is that too subtle? Well, I’m not a cruel man, so I’ll give you a too-easy clue found [...]

I’ll admit that our foodgrab this week isn’t all that spectacular or insightful or metaphoric or any of those usual things, but perhaps that’s the true beauty of the foodgrab. Its mystical powers are not always known to us, its meaning not always clear. O, foodgrab; how you do vex us so.
Still, today’s grab from [...]

Who doesn’t enjoy a good prison movie? The squalor, the man-on-man violence, the solitary confinement - the triumph of the human spirit and/or the unceremonious crushing of it.

Hopefully my newly-coined term “foodgrab” is soon to enter the film blog venacular. That being, of course, a screengrab from a classic or new movie which represents the first time the filmmaker shows us - wait for it - food.
In screenwriter/blogger John August’s film The Nines, we see food for the first time at the [...]

Hey, did you know that the Oscars are being given out this weekend?

Dedicated screenwriting 101 here: From an interview with Harrison Ford on the MTV Movies Blog in which the inevitability of another Indiana Jones movie is mentioned:
How do I get out of this? I love going to the movies with my boys, opening up their minds to the great pleasures of cinema and all that, but this is a hard one. Please help me: do I suck it up and just go, or can anyone out there provide me with a plausible, kind-hearted, permanent way out? (
