    Vote for the winner of the 1987 Draft!

    I’m thirty now! Damn. On the Lambcast we recently celebrated my then-impending now-past 30th birthday by drafting teams that are the same age as me, as in they were all released in 1987, and now it’s time to vote on those teams! The poll is at the bottom of the page, but first; the teams!

    Richard’s Team: Robocop, The Untouchables, The Living Daylights, The Hidden,...

    LAMBCAST #386 THE DARK TOWER

    When planning the Lambcast schedule, it’s now always easy to tell which films are going to be big summer tent-poles, and which will be less than noteworthy, so sometimes we’ll talk about Dunkirk, and other times we’ll look at The Dark Tower.

    Robert filled in as host alongside Jeanette, Howard and Damien to discuss the latest Stephen King adaptation, amongst many other things. Also on tap: Rants...

    Lambscores: Haunted Homecoming

    Two very different movies for you this week. One is a big superhero sequel/reboot that could well be the best entry within its franchise, and the other predominantly features Casey Affleck wearing a sheet, and includes an interminably slow scene in which Rooney Mara eats a pie. I know which one I’d rather watch. Here’s what the LAMB community has to say about Spider-Man: Homecoming and A Ghost Story:

    The Movie of the Month for August 2017 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    It was a tough battle for supremacy this month, with pretty much every champion campaigning heavily for their chosen film to win the poll. Throughout almost the entirety of the voting period there was one film just in the lead, whose campaigner was going above and beyond on the leg work, and had the votes been closed 2 days earlier than they ultimately were then Vern would...

    You know when you look forward to a film and it turns out to be really good? Well my most anticipated film of the year is amongst this week’s crop of Lambscores, and I’m overjoyed that it’s at the top of the pile, and that the rest of the LAMB community also deemed it good enough to make the Lambscores Top 10, hurrah! As well as Baby Driver, this week we also have reviews of The Beguiled, Despicable Me...

    LAMBCAST #384 DUNKIRK

    Do you enjoy  long stays on the beach? Weekend pleasure cruises? Short plane excursions? Then the latest Lambcast is for you!

    Jay Cluitt was joined by war movie aficionados and world war two enthusiasts Simon Appleton, JD Duran and Richard Kirkham to dig into Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, a film that allowed us to rattle off old plane names and complain about British motorways, as you do.

    One movie this week, and it ain’t a good one, so let’s get it over with, shall we? It’s the latest Transformers movie, and frankly that’s all I need to know. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Transformers: The Last Knight:

    Lambscores: 47 Meters Down, All Eyez On Me, Cars 3, Rough Night, The Book of Henry

    When Cars 3 was announced, if you’d told me that upon it’s released its Lambscore would be the highest of five movies that same week, I doubt I’d have believed you. 3.14/5 isn’t exactly an incredible score, but it’s a great deal better than many might expect based on the disappointing Cars 2. Anyway, here’s the scores for Cars 3, All Eyez On Me, 47 Meters Down,...

    LAMBCAST #382 SAVING PRIVATE RYAN MOTM

    With Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk just around the corner, this month’s Movie of the Month could well be considered a companion piece to it, as this week we’re delving into Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan.

    As the movie’s champion Rob led the discussion, and was joined by super fan and regular host Jay, relative newcomers to the film Jess and Damien, and absolute first-timer...
