Filmbrain's Screen Capture Quiz: Round 18, Week 5

Though it in no way captures the true meaning of Christmas, there's something about Billy Wilder's The Apartment that seems particularly fitting this year. Maybe that's why I've seen it pop up on several blogs over the past few weeks?...

Filmbrain's Screen Capture Quiz: Round 18, Week 4

One of the key members of the Algonquin Round Table, and a regular contributor to The New Yorker in their salad days, Robert Benchley (grandfather of Peter "Jaws" Benchley) also appeared in over eighty films, including the not-terribly-funny Road to...

Things Fall Apart: Top Ten Films of 2008

For many people, myself included, 2008 was a pretty dire year. Some of us lost jobs, some of us lost money, some of us lost both, and nearly all of us experienced, to some degree, the ramifications of the economic...

Undistributed, But Not Unloved: Top Ten of 2008

When it comes to end of year top tens, I find the undistributed lists far more interesting (and useful) than the standard ones which, naturally, have a lot of overlap. Learning about a film that's been tucked away at festivals...

Filmbrain's Screen Capture Quiz: Round 18, Week 3

No, this isn't going to be an all Blake Edwards round, though in hindsight that might not have been such a bad idea. The second film in the series, A Shot in the Dark, was actually made one year prior...

Five and a Half Minutes in the City of Sylvia

Five and a half minutes from José Luis Guerín’s En la Ciudad de Sylvia (In the City of Sylvia).

Filmbrain's Screen Capture Quiz: Round 18, Week 2

The 1963 film that introduced the world to Inspector Jacques Clouseau (a character the studios just can't get enough of), Blake Edwards' The Pink Panther may not be the funniest of the series, but has always been a personal favorite,...

Filmbrain's Screen Capture Quiz: Round 18, Week 1

Greetings, all! Welcome to the start of yet another round of Filmbrain's weekly screen capture quiz, the barely-legal round 18! After the grueling all-Brittany edition that was round 17, we're back to the usual free-for-all format, which translates to using...

Filmbrain's Screen Capture Quiz: Round 17 - The Winners!

Though this was unquestionably the most difficult round in this quiz's four year (!!) history, there was still an impressive showing of entrants who managed to come up with ten or eleven out of twelve. One longtime player, however, has...

And the winner isn't....

Tuesday turned out to be one of those days where time passed in Synecdoche-like leaps. Benten work, Thanksgiving prep, weekly angst, etc. As a result, there was no time to tabulate the results of Round 17 of the screen capture...

The Life of the Mined: On Synecdoche, New York (Part 2)

"Despite its slippery way with time and space and narrative and Mr. Kaufman’s controlled grasp of the medium, Synecdoche, New York is as much a cry from the heart as it is an assertion of creative consciousness. It’s extravagantly conceptual...

The Alphabet Meme: An A-Z of Nikkatsu Sleaze and Action

I've been tagged by my friend and neighbor Glenn Kenny to participate in the alphabet meme, in which bloggers are asked to create (duh) an A-Z list of their favorite films, or something. To be honest, the thought of coming...

Filmbrain's Screen Capture Quiz: Round 17, Week 12

A forest mural on the side of a building in upper Manhattan (or is it the Bronx?) is about as far from the serene seascapes of Brittany that one can possibly get, and the appearance of abandoned NYC apartment blocks...

The Life of the Mind: On Synecdoche, New York (Part 1)

Why couldn't the world that concerns us be a fiction? And if somebody asked, "but to be a fiction there surely belongs an author?" -- couldn't one answer simply, why? Doesn't this "belongs" perhaps belong to the fiction, too? -Friedrich...
