The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
For December’s MOTM poll we once again took a festive-themed diversion into primarily Christmas films, with a Hanukkah one thrown in for good measure this year too, and as with previous winners (Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Gremlins, Batman Returns), the winner isn’t a film that everybody might consider a holiday film, but which...

Like The Director’s Chair series being run by Tony, I think that this reignited series is a great way to get a look at what the members of the Lamb community think about the work of some of the most prolific actors/actresses who have been entertaining us all for so many years.
I plan to try and focus on an actor or actress every month who has a birthday in that given...
This month’s Acting School 101 teacher was Sylvester Stallone.
We received a total of 176 reviews for 42 films that Sylvester Stallone had parts in. Plus 2 general posts about his life and work.
That’s quite an impressive amount.
Let’s see what the members of the LAMB community thought of Sylvester Stallone’s career:

This is Halloween! This is Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Ahem, guess what film we’re covering on today’s Lambcast? That’s right, it’s the Halloween sequel released 40 years after the original, confusingly with the same name, and which wiped out all the other Halloween sequels from continuity, and speaking as someone who has only seen the now just two canon Halloween...
Part two of our Harry Potter franchise lookback is here, as we make our murky way through the darker half of the series, from Order of the Phoenix to the Deathly Hallows parts one and two!
This time around, Jay is reunited with Richard, and joined by Harry Potter superfans Amanda and Nikhat to despair over Dobby, go la-la over Luna and vehemently vilify Voldemort. Oh, and the best way to enjoy this show...
We’ve got a treat for you this week! A bumper double-bill of podcasts looking at the entire Harry Potter saga, a franchise so full of fantastical fancies that it just had to be split across two shows, and they’re not exactly short ones either!
Jay was joined by Jeanette, Bubbawheat, newcomer James and returning Harry Potter trivia champion (no pressure) Rebecca to quarrel about Quidditch, lavish over...
Three films for you this week: First Man, Bad Times at the El Royale and Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween. My personal favourite is the apparently under-rated Bad Times, which I loved (but not enough to write a review, evidently), but it seems the LAMB community, as usual, doesn’t agree with me. Here are everyone’s thoughts:
First Man

As you should already know by now, Sylvester Stallone is our actor of the month in the newly-revived Acting School 101 feature, being hosted by me, MovieRob. Alongside the monthly blogathon held here on the LAMB site, I will also be hosting a monthly podcast episode devoted to the actor and their roles, and wouldn’t you know it but that’s this very show here!
I was joined by Tony from Coog’s Reviews to...
We’ve got two films for you this week, and one of them has made it onto the top 10 of the year so far. More than that, it’s in the top spot, and I, for one, do not agree with that ranking. The film in question is A Star is Born, a film that in my opinion is utterly fine and nothing more. The Lambcast that featured a review on it (which I was unable to be on) featured a very discussion containing divided opinions, with two...
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

Flickering Myth...
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...
