What’s better than one feature discussion? How about five of ’em? We revisited something done a few months back (to successful results, I’d say) with “Bring A Discussion Topic,” in which each LAMBcaster comes to the table with a question or pressing matter to them. We then spend a few minutes discussing each item before moving on to the next, giving a good variety of thoughts to the show, with the added...
This week just two films are up for our review and discussion. The Steven Spielberg directed historical drama, Lincoln, starring the ever-so-great Daniel Day-Lewis, came roaring into theaters with even more Oscar buzz. Skyfall, the 23rd film in the Bond Franchise, is the largest grossing Bond movie of all time and has the story and the looks to back up its earnings. Want to see your...
This edition of LAMBScores features a wide variety of titles. From Disney’s video game animated epic, Wreck-It Ralph, to the Denzel, substance-abuse drama, Flight. We also see if RZA’s directorial debut, The Man with the Iron Fists cements him as a legit Hollywood man behind the camera. And just for safe measure, we thrown in the rather obscure...
Happy Thanksgiving to all the Lammies out there. How are you doing?

This week, the LAMBScores features a couple of very, very different films. First up, we have the epic Cloud Atlas, a film that spans centuries, universes, lifetimes, and so much more. Is the movie’s ambition rewarded with a great LAMBScore? Check out below. Up next is Silent Hill: Revelation, the sequel video game adaptation that tries hard to duplicate the success of the first...
Last week, it was the 16th entry in the James Bond franchise, Licence to Kill, featured as the prior MOTM; this month, the 23rd (and, of course, most recent) entry, Skyfall, taking the center stage of the LAMBcast. To make things even more fitting, we even got a Brit to handle the hosting duties, as Simon Columb made his return to the show to preside over the festivities. He was joined by Bond expert Fogs, as well as...
It seemed only fitting that, after a hard-fought battle against The Princess Bride, the 16th entry in the James Bond series, Licence to Kill, won out in the last MOTM poll. It turned out to be a film of discovery for several of us on the accompanying LAMBcast – some continued to love it, some not so much, but it’s fair to say we all learned a bit more Bond history: why this film might have been received so...
