Welcome Back Students!
Rob from MovieRob here!
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...
The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
For November’s MOTM poll there were five films submitted, but it was really only a two horse race between the competitors undertaking the most campaigning. Those two were Simon and Rob with The Hunt For Red October and Trains, Planes and Automobiles. It was an incredibly close run but, the winner, by just three votes is… The Hunt For Red...
This month’s Acting School 101 teacher was Jeff Goldblum.
We received a total of 182 reviews for 29 films that Jeff Goldblum had parts in.
Let’s see what the members of the LAMB community thought of Jeff Goldblum’s career:
Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1)
MovieRob
Annie Hall (3)
Dan...
Three films this week: one good, one bad, one entertaining but mediocre, nothing to really set the world alight. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Assassination Nation, The House With A Clock In Its Walls and Life Itself:
Assassination Nation
LAMB Average: 3.92 (6 sites)
The Michigan Movie Guy (5)
That Moment In (4.5)
The Movie Waffler...
It’s time for the some horror over on the Lambcast!
Traditionally the run up to Halloween is dedicated to horror films and franchise here at the LAMB, and that’s no different this year with our horror-themed Movie of the Month. This time around the original 1963 version of The Haunting is our focus, with its champion Howard Casner taking his first seat in the MOTM host chair. He’s joined by Sean, Tony,...
It’s never a good sign when a low-ranked film has a lot of reviews, as it generally means a lot of people were looking forward to something, made plans to see it and cared enough to put fingers to keyboard and write a review, but that it just wasn’t good. Alas that’s the case this week with one of my most anticipated films of the year, Shane Black’s The Predator, which under-performed with critics to a...
Romance! Addiction! Swimming! These films truly have everything, and we’re here to talk about it.
Jay’s ambivalence left Richard in the hosting seat to discuss the latest version of A Star is Born, along with the three (or four) previous iterations of the story. Some are great, others feature Gary Busey.
Also on tap: Rants, Raves and Reviews of the Week and the most relevant game of Last Lamb Standing...
As you should already know by now, Jeff Goldblum 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 DJ from Simplistic Reviews to discuss all thing...
Apparently one of this week’s films, The Nun, is part of the Conjuring Cinematic Universe, a franchise that so far consists of five feature films, with three more announced for the near future, and as yet I haven’t seen any, any I’ve no real plans to either. Why not? Well it’s mainly that I’m not really a horror guy, but also to me they all sounded kind of dull, and given the reviews for The Nun...
It’s Lamb Vs Predator this week as we dig into our highly anticipated Predator franchise lookback!
Jay and Richard reunite with an entirely necessary and not-at-all excessive mid-air arm wrestle handshake, and are joined by the elite squadron of Heather, Simon and Will to dissect all four Predator films, and briefly touch upon the unfortunate AVP additions as well. Also on tap: Rants, Raves and Reviews of the Week and a...
Another mediocre week with two middling films; but don’t worry, awards season is just around the corner! Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Operation Finale and Kin:
Operation Finale
LAMB Average: 3.00 (6 sites)
The Michigan Movie Guy (4)
The MN Movie Man (3.5)
The Critical Movie Critics (3)
Journeys in Classic Film (3)
Honestly, I’m gone for a couple of shows and the show’s structure gets thrown right out the window.
Traditionally on a Whatcha Been Watchin’ Lately episode we’ll have some guests on and everyone will talk about one film they’ve seen recently. Not today! No, with Jay still away, Richard took sole hosting duties and let Cameron, Todd, David and Howard run amok, listing up to twelve films each, plus way...
