    LAMBScores: Mama’s Last Stand in the Broken City

    Another January weekend, another dismal lineup of films. None of this week’s releases (Mama, Broken City, The Last Stand) cracked the 3.0 mark on the LAMBScore scale. Maybe next week will be better? Remember, you can head on over to the forums if you wish to add your reviews for the next...

    LAMBScores: Maya’s Gangster Squad Haunts Bin Laden

    LAMBScores: The Misery of Slavery


    This week on the LAMBScores we catch up with 2012’s big Christmas Day releases Django Unchained and Les Miserables. On the surface, these films seem completely different, but they have more in common than you think. Specifically, both films are set in the 1800s and are focused on a former slave who becomes empowered. Find out below what the LAMB members thought of these two Oscar nominees. Remember,...

We have 4 scores for you today, including a Tom Cruise actioner Jack Reacher and a pair of comedies – The Guilt Trip and This is 40. The movie that left the best impression though, was Michael...

    LAMBScores: Return To Middle Earth, part 1

    LAMBScores: A Psycho Tiger Kills Them Softly


    First off, apologies for the delay. We had a changeover of LAMBScores editors but fear not, we are back on track. As a result, we have a fairly large edition of the LAMBScores this week with five scores for you to check out. First up, we have Ang Lee’s visually stunning adaptation of Life of Pi featuring some of the best 3D in years. We also have the holiday superhero epic Rise of the...
