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...
With the upcoming release of Shane Black’s The Nice Guys, a 70s buddy movie about two mis-matched guys trying to solve some kind of case, this week we’ve gone back to look at the beginnings of Shane Black’s career, a 80s buddy movie about two mis-matched guys trying to solve some kind of case, and the ensuing sequels of varying quality and cohesiveness.

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!

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...
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...
Just one film again this week, Jeff Nichols’ alternative superhero sci-fi Midnight Special. Here’s what the LAMB had to say about it:

Here are our collective reviews:
Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice
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.

Only one major release again this week, and by the sounds of things it isn’t all that great. Here are the LAMBScores for The Divergent Series: Allegiant:
