    LAMBScores: Everybody Wants a Cup of Doris Droning on in the Green Jungle

    This week’s reviews were supposed to be just on The Jungle Book and Criminal, but looking back it seemed I’ve missed a few of the smaller releases from previous weeks, so they’ve been added to today’s round-up as well, in the places of the under-reviewed Criminal. Doing this has revealed some new additions to the Top 10 list in the sidebar, so I’ll be sure to keep an eye on the smaller releases...

    LAMBScores: Henry, The Boss of Hardcore Demolition

    Three films for you this week, and they’re a pretty eclectic bunch: a Melissa McCarthy comedy, a Jake Gyllenhaal drama and an insane-looking first-person action thing. Let’s see what the LAMB community had to say!

    Movie of the Month Round-up: The Godfather Trilogy

    Normally by now you might have expected an episode of the Lambcast to have dropped on the Movie of the Month, which for April is The Godfather Trilogy. Unfortunately we’ve had some scheduling issues over on the show, and as yet have been unable to get together to record the show. We’re still planning on releasing a show as soon as we can, but with the end of the month just around the corner and May’s Movie of the...

    LAMBCAST #318 BRING A DISCUSSION TOPIC

    In the history of the Lambcast, there has been one officially “Lost” episode wherein through whatever issues the show failed to record, and nothing was released. This very nearly happened again, as this week’s Bring A Discussion Topic show suffered the dreaded double-Skype-recording-failure, with only one person’s audio being usable. So what is there to download? Well, I’ve done what I can and compiled a mostly...

    LAMBCAST #316 WBWL – THE SET-UP, HUSH & FAST TIMES

    It’s time for another Movie of the Month! Oh wait, no it’s not. Apologies to anyone expecting our Godfather trilogy lookback this week, but unfortunately we had some scheduling and technical issues, so that show will be coming next week instead, sorry everyone. Instead we resorted to that time-old traditional of talking about some movies we’ve seen recently.
