Five films for you this week, ranging from very small releases about chess and hazing to blockbusters about oil rig explosions and floating children, plus a Kate Winslet drama that frankly I didn’t much care for. Here’s what the LAMB community has to say:

If you want to get involved, here’s how LAMBScores work: Over in the LAMB Forums there’s a sub-board called LAMBScores. If you’ve written a review or recorded a podcast on a new release, find (or create) the thread there, and leave a link to your review, along with your site name and a score out of 5. Three weeks after the film has received a wide release the reviews will be collated and posted here, as long as there are at least five.
