I scream, you scream, we all scream for the Scream franchise!
This year’s Halloween-special, horror-centric month-capper is another franchise lookback, this time on the franchise you all voted to be the one we should cover this month, the Scream franchise! Four films of varying quality and one silly mask, all ready to be stabbed open and dissected by the crew. Jay and Richard were joined by a bumper crop...
Just two films this week, we’re in a smaller movie lull between Oscar-bait with a light comedy and a family animation, in which I’m reliably informed Zendaya plays Meechee. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Night School and Smallfoot:
Smallfoot

There’s a new Halloween movie! Technically it’s the 11th Halloween movie. Also it’s the second. And it has the same title as the first. And the ninth. Which apparently doesn’t exist any more. Confused? Then you need to listen to this week’s Lambcast!
Jay and Richard were joined by Amanda, Courtney and Robert to cut open the new movie with a terrifyingly large knife and a worrying...
The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
For November’s MOTM poll there were five films submitted, but it was really only a two horse race between the competitors undertaking the most campaigning. Those two were Simon and Rob with The Hunt For Red October and Trains, Planes and Automobiles. It was an incredibly close run but, the winner, by just three votes is… The Hunt For Red...
Three films this week: one good, one bad, one entertaining but mediocre, nothing to really set the world alight. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Assassination Nation, The House With A Clock In Its Walls and Life Itself:
Assassination Nation
LAMB Average: 3.92 (6 sites)
The Michigan Movie Guy (5)
That Moment In (4.5)
The Movie Waffler...
It’s time for the some horror over on the Lambcast!
Traditionally the run up to Halloween is dedicated to horror films and franchise here at the LAMB, and that’s no different this year with our horror-themed Movie of the Month. This time around the original 1963 version of The Haunting is our focus, with its champion Howard Casner taking his first seat in the MOTM host chair. He’s joined by Sean, Tony,...
It’s never a good sign when a low-ranked film has a lot of reviews, as it generally means a lot of people were looking forward to something, made plans to see it and cared enough to put fingers to keyboard and write a review, but that it just wasn’t good. Alas that’s the case this week with one of my most anticipated films of the year, Shane Black’s The Predator, which under-performed with critics to a...
Romance! Addiction! Swimming! These films truly have everything, and we’re here to talk about it.
Jay’s ambivalence left Richard in the hosting seat to discuss the latest version of A Star is Born, along with the three (or four) previous iterations of the story. Some are great, others feature Gary Busey.
Also on tap: Rants, Raves and Reviews of the Week and the most relevant game of Last Lamb Standing...
It’s time to vote for November’s Movie of the Month! The poll is at the bottom of the page, but first, the contenders!
Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987) [Rob, MovieRob]
The Hunt for Red October (1990) [Simon Appleton, Moustache Movie News]
Addams Family Values (1993) [Audrey Fox, 1001 Movies and Beyond]
Apparently one of this week’s films, The Nun, is part of the Conjuring Cinematic Universe, a franchise that so far consists of five feature films, with three more announced for the near future, and as yet I haven’t seen any, any I’ve no real plans to either. Why not? Well it’s mainly that I’m not really a horror guy, but also to me they all sounded kind of dull, and given the reviews for The Nun...
It’s Lamb Vs Predator this week as we dig into our highly anticipated Predator franchise lookback!
Jay and Richard reunite with an entirely necessary and not-at-all excessive mid-air arm wrestle handshake, and are joined by the elite squadron of Heather, Simon and Will to dissect all four Predator films, and briefly touch upon the unfortunate AVP additions as well. Also on tap: Rants, Raves and Reviews of the Week and a...
The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
It’s October, which means this month’s MOTM is a horror pick, and damn if there weren’t some horrific choices in the poll this month. This was a tighly-run and ever-changing race, with some last-ditch surges, Twitter involvements from relevant film-makers and an overhanging threat that we’d end up talking about Tusk. Fortunately that...
