This special episode focuses on the just-finished 2003 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, UT. With over 40,000 attendees, you know there was bound to be at least a few LAMBs there. We talk to Shala Thomas from Life Between Films about her Sundance experiences: how she approaches the fest, where to go and (of course) what her favorite films were.
I hope to do more mini-episodes like this so if you have a film festival or another...

In this edition of the LAMBScores we have 4 new releases for you – The Impossible, Texas Chainsaw 3D, Promised Land and Not Fade Away. It seemed to be a slow week, with only The Impossible seeming to spark much interest among the LAMB members. Find out what your fellow lammies thought of Juan Antonio Bayona’s heartwrenching film, in addition to the other...
Strap yourselves in.
Lindsay, Jessica, Nick, Justin, and Dylan gathered round the campfire to rattle off their Top 5 films of 2012, and it’s an epic. As if that weren’t enough, we even threw in some special awards for key films/scenes/actors/etc. It’s a fun show that covers a surprisingly wide array of films…made even wider with Nick’s compulsion to name every honorable mention in his list of 400 films...
It started off as a tight race between all five films, but it didn’t take long for two to break from the pack. In the end, the pick from Brian Roan of Dear Film, 1961’s Last Year at Marienbad, took home the prize (see poll results below). As such, Brian becomes the latest Champion and has won a chair in the LAMBcast in which we’ll discuss the film, and the hosting rights to the MOTM segment (more...

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,...
With close to 1500 members, our shepherd Joel has decided that the LAMB is more than large enough to accommodate a second podcast. So joining the LAMBcast will be The Film Pasture, a new show dedicated to exploring the world of film and film blogging through the eyes of you, the writers. Each week, we will explore one or more topics through a series of interviews and discussions with members of the LAMB.
In this first episode, we...
