Welcome Back Students!

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 Annette Bening.
We received a total of 58 reviews for 22 films that Annette Bening had parts in.
That’s quite an impressive amount.
Let’s see what the members of the LAMB community thought of Annette Bening’s career:
20th Century Woman (12)
Assholes Watching Movies
Dan the Man’s Movie...
Not a great week for movies for you I’m afraid. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about I Feel Pretty and Super Troopers 2:

For the latest movie of the month Jay was joined by Todd, Richard, Sean and Will to discuss an ultimate so-called guys’ movie, Midnight Run!
Also on tap: Rants and Raves of the Week, a new game, and a near-constant barrage of incredulity at people who haven’t seen classic movies or TV shows.

We’ve got a pretty good selection for you this week: a bombastic smash ’em up video game adaptation, a throwaway horror with creepy faces and a delightful stop motion animation that’s one of my favourites of the year so far:
Isle of Dogs

As you should already know by now, Annette Bening 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 Damien Riley from Riley On Film to discuss all thing...
Every so often when I’m compiling these weekly posts I’ll come across an apparently widely released movie starring actual famous people and with a half-decent critical score, but which I’ve never once heard of. Such is the case this week with Chappaquiddick. Apparently it had a trailer, stars Jason Clarke, Ed Helms, Kate Mara and Bruce Dern, and is at least watchable, but this also could be an incredibly elaborate...
It’s here! Potentially the most ambitious movie of all time! And we did a podcast on it, just like everyone else!
Jay Cluitt was joined by Bubbawheat, Jeanette Ward, Tony Cogan and newcomer Sophie Athawes to re-enact a full blow-by-blow of the entire Avengers: Infinity War plot, so if you haven’t seen it then you should really pay attention to the spoiler wall warning, as we cover everything, even things not...
The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
Once again it has been proven that, at least when it comes to the Movie of the Month poll, persistence certainly pays off, as this month’s winner is a film that has been put forward time and time again, and it has finally achieved the hallowed title of Movie of the Month! That’s right, for the month of May we’ll be talking about… Midnight...
Just one movie for you this week, the latest from Spielberg, Ready Player One. On a personal note, this was my most anticipated movie for 2018, and yes I’m a little disappointed not everyone enjoyed it as much as me, and in fact I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as I’d hoped to, but it was liked enough to make it onto the Lambscores Top 10, if only temporarily. I wonder how long it will stay there! Anyway,...
