Lambscores: A Star is Born like a Turd in the Wind

by Jay Cluitt · November 2, 2018 · Featured, LAMBscores · 1 Comment

We’ve got two films for you this week, and one of them has made it onto the top 10 of the year so far. More than that, it’s in the top spot, and I, for one, do not agree with that ranking. The film in question is A Star is Born, a film that in my opinion is utterly fine and nothing more. The Lambcast that featured a review on it (which I was unable to be on) featured a very discussion containing divided opinions, with two of the cast thinking the film was terrible, and the others thinking it was amazing, but clearly only the more positive opinions were submitted for the Lambscores. It doesn’t really matter what I think though, does it? No, this is a collaborative post, and the general consensus is that A Star is Born is fantastic. Oh, and Venom was also released, but really who cares about that? Here’s what the LAMB community had 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.
