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...

The Princess Bride? Watchmen? Dawn of the Dead? Big films, you might say? Night of the Comet can’t hear you. Kristen chose this barely-seen apocalyptic zombie sci-fi-comedy and it tore up the competition. The question is, is it underseen/underloved or justly forgotten?
Before we get to the links, here’s the IMDb summary for the film, for those that aren’t familiar with...

Let me apologize for the late posting of these LAMBscores. I’ve been unusually busy this week, so it took a while for me to get around to them. 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...

There are also several spaces left, so claim them in the comments section here so that people can see what’s still available. If you need ideas, click here for previous...
