  • Video of the Day: Lindsay Lohan's Screen Test

    Oh, Lindsay Lohan, you drug-addled alcoholic bisexual nut.  Hollywood loves you to pieces!  But was there ever a time when you weren't several varieties of cuckoo-bananas?  Why...yes! Captured here in a screen test for her motion picture debut -- the 1998 remake of The Parent Trap, made when she was a tender 11 ...

  • LazyVision: Week Ending Feb. 14th

    We know that fans of the Screengrab want the dish on what's happening now in Hollywood (hence the Weekend Box Office Report) and what's yet to come (hence the Morning Deal Report).  We know you want to be aware of what's coming to home video, hence DVD Digest.  And we know that sometimes, you just want to park yourselves in ...

  • Screengrab Review: "Notorious"

    When FOX Searchlight Pictures announced last year that they'd be producing a film based on the life of slain rapper Christopher Wallace (a.k.a. Biggie Smalls and the Notorious B.I.G.), few people took notice -- until they followed up the announcement by saying the lead role would be filled by an unknown selected by an open casting call to ...

  • "Big Hollywood": Big Disappointment

    2009 has seen the dawn of a shining new star in the blogosphere:  Andrew Breitbart's 'Big Hollywood' website, meant to be a one-stop shopping destination for right-wing conservatives who just can't get enough of complaining about those damned west coast liberals and the commie propaganda spewed in their so-called ...

  • Fish Stories

    Somewhat lost in the shuffle of the endless top ten lists that appeared at the end of 2008 was this curiosity:  Stanley Fish's list of the ten best American movies of all time.  Fish, a legal scholar, literary theorist, philosopher, and author, is well known for his irascible opinions, unique antifundamentalist arguments, and ability ...

  • Claude Berri, 1934-2009

    The French filmmaker Claude Berri passed away this week at age 74.  One of the most esteemed figures in the national cinema of the 1980s, Berri was a total package as a filmmaker:  he was a highly celebrated director, who won an Oscar and was nominated for a dozen Cesar awards, though he won none; he was an actor of no small talent; he ...

  • Scott Feinberg Shuts Us Up

    Last year, we here at the Screengrab poked fun of movie blogger/L.A. Times columnist Scott Feinberg, because he had the temerity to predict how the 2009 Oscars were going to go, before the potato salad from the 2008 Oscars had cooled.  Why did we make fun of this respectable gentleman of the press?  Because we are jerks. As it ...

  • Video of the Day: "Dark Knight", Schmark Knight

    While everyone sits around whingeing about whether or not the late Heath Ledger is going to win an Oscar for his portrayal of the Joker in Christopher Nolan's made-more-cheddar-than-Kraft The Dark Knight, we're all about honoring the past here at the Screengrab.  And what better way to honor the past than to show the audition test ...

  • Keyword Theater: The Winter Edition

    Elsewhere in this fine blog, my esteemed colleagues Andrew Osbourne and Scott Von Doviak are posting their picks for the big hits and dismal failures coming to a theater near you in 2009.  Frankly, as much as I'd like to play along, I exhausted myself almost to death just trying to catch up with all the movies I needed to see at the end ...

  • Nine-Point Plans

    It ain't Thanksgiving, but everyone wants a slice of the turkey.  Most people have already made their New Year's resolutions (some of us have already broken them, for that matter), but up north, in Edmonton's Vue Weekly newspaper, critic Brian Gibson is asking not what he can do for Hollywood, but what Hollywood can do for him. ...
