    LAMBScores: The Bad Counselor


    After last week’s record-breaking scores, there was nowhere to go but down. Indeed, this weeks releases couldn’t match up. The Counselor was widely perceived as a failure, while Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa also didn’t seem to inspire much interest. Click below to find out what the lammies had to say about these films and don’t...

    LAMBScores: The Slave’s Fifth Escape


    Stop the Presses! We have a new record for the highest LAMBScore ever and that special film is…12 Years A Slave. Steve McQueen’s unflinching film has already thrilled the mainstream critics and now it has made its mark with our online community (almost a perfect score!). If you didn’t think it was an awards contender before, then think again. Films also featured...

    LAMBScores: Gravity Gravity


    If the LAMBScores are any indication, this is one hell of a film year. Fruitvale Station set a high benchmark over the summer, but Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity has now taken over as our top-rated movie of the year. There’s also another release this week (Runner Runner) but it wasn’t up to par. Check out all the...

    LAMBScores: Don Jon’s Meatballs


    This week’s pair of release aren’t as strong as last week’s set, but they are noteworthy in their own right. First up, we have the directorial debut of Joseph Gordon-Levitt – Don Jon. Next we have the animated sequel Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. Both got fairly positive scores, so be sure to check out what your fellow...

    LAMBScores: The Insidious Prisoners in a Spectacular Rush


    Last week I was busy at the New York Film Festival, so this post will be combined with last week’s scheduled scores. We therefore have no less than 5 new releases on the slate. These films represent almost all the genres – comedy (The Family), drama (The Spectacular Now), horror (Insidious: Chapter 2), thriller...

    LAMBScores: Close Getaway

    Last week I declared that we were already into the high quality fall season, but perhaps that statement was premature. This week’s releases are some of the worst reviewed films of the year. Check out what the LAMB members had to say about Closed Circuit and Getaway below and don’t forget to submit your reviews...

    LAMBScores: The Blue City’s End


    We’re clearly heading into the higher quality fall season as 3 films this week passed the 3.5 mark in the LAMBScores. It’s no surprise though, as these new releases include the latest from Woody Allen (Blue Jasmine) and Edgar Wright (The World’s End). We also have reviews for You’re Next and...
