Larry Clark is perhaps best known for the 1995 film Kids, which launched the careers of quite a few people: Rosario Dawson, Chloe Sevingy, Harmony Korrine, and Clark himself. But his 2001 film Bully – not to be confused with the 2011 documentary of the same name – is a similar piece of filmmaking, dealing with the angst and lifestyles of (mostly) teenagers, this time in Florida. It’s also based on a...
It’s one of my favorite episode types – and not just because it requires less work on the host’s behalf. It’s Bring a Discussion Topic, in which each participant comes to the virtual table with something they hope will spur an engaging discussion. Sometimes they’re duds, sometimes they’re great…and in this episode, I gotta say, they’re pretty damn good. Oh hand for the shenanigans (have...
Such a simple question…and yet it yields such diverse answers. Such an easy question…and yet, when posed to five movie geeks, it becomes a philosophical conundrum. The question: what films have you been watching lately, and can you narrow that list down to one to talk about. One that you (hopefully) are passionate about, one way or the other. As usual, the question yielded diverse results, brought to you by Dylan, Kai,...
The LAMBcast’s Summer Series (as it might well be called) is winding down to a close. We started with what looks to be the summer’s biggest hit, Iron Man 3, stared down the latest Star Trek entry, spent some family time with the Fast & Furious gang, and now revisit the dormant Superman series, as we take an in-depth look at Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. On hand for the show...
** Some news and changes to the MOTM/MOTM Champions this month. Read on for the skinny. **
Well, it’s been an up-and-down week or so for the MOTM Champions angle. Your Shepherd, Joel Burman, was the only one to throw his hat into the ring for July, so I was all set to kill Champions and go back to just having me select five random films and having you vote on them.
But then a funny...
Long before Peter Jackson became known for becoming J.R.R. Tolkien or remaking King Kong, he was that big, hairy fella from New Zealand known for grossout horror comedies. His third feature was 1992’s Dead Alive , a film that wasn’t received all that well two decades ago but is now seen as a cult classic. The gang from French Toast Sunday championed the film after barely losing out to American...
I believe the proper nomenclature is as follows:
*ahem*
If you got a problem, yo, we’ll solve it.
That’s the motto for the Ask the LAMB feature here, a segment that finds its host Jason Soto trolling Yahoo Answers for truly insane questions. It can bring some seriously credible answers from a wide variety of film bloggers. It can also bring some seriously funny answers. Occasionally, it does both.
And...
I don’t want to give anything away just yet, but can we talk for a minute about FAMILY? The LAMBcast FAMILY wishes to invite you to listen to episode 169, in which we discuss Justin Lin’s fourth entry in the Fast & Furious series, and we welcome you to invite you aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, cousins, grandparents, Diesels and Ludacrisses (Ludacri?). In other words, we’re having a FAMILY reunion to...
It was one of the lower voted-upon MOTM polls we’ve had in a while, but it was so less tense. Dead Alive was pretty much staked out to a two-vote lead over The Incredibles from the start, and that’s exactly how it ended. Every time I looked at the results, that’s what it showed me. Weird. In the end, the Peter Jackson grossout took the vote, giving French Toast Sunday the win. As such, FTS becomes...
Who is Cumberbatch playing? Will there be more cameos from the original series’ cast members? What’s up with Alice Eve? To Spock or not to Spock? And seriously, does J.J. Abrams have it out for San Francisco? These questions and many more were tackled on episode 168, in which Dylan, Justin, Jessica, Jay and Sebastian discussed the sequel to the 2009 megahit in detail.
Also on tap:
* Rants and Raves of the...
Feels like forever since we’ve had one of these, no?
A serial killer horror-comedy period piece…in the wrong hands, American Psycho might have been a nightmare all its own. But director Mary Harron (I Shot Andy Warhol), who also adapted the screenplay of Bret Easton Ellis’ novel, delivered a pop culture postcard complete with one of the all-time great breakout roles in Christian Bale’s...
This flick made a gazillion dollars in its opening weekend and is on track to probably become the number one box office hit of the year – do I really need to introduce it much? You’ve seen it already, and if you haven’t yet, there’s a good chance you won’t until it hits video.
But what you haven’t seen or heard is Jay from Life vs. Film (fresh with a new, streamlined URL!) hosting his first...
