It’s a bit of a slow week for the LAMBScores as none of our three releases incited much fervor among our members. The lineup includes Frank, The Giver and The Expendables 3. Check out all the reviews below and don’t forget to join in at the forums.
The 90s are back in style if this week’s LAMBScores are any indication. Fans of Twister and pizza-obsessed reptiles may be feeling déjà vu with the release of Into the Storm and the latest reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If you’re not into those throwbacks then maybe you’ll be interested in What...
This week’s set of films is a fairly high profile bunch. First we have the latest Marvel hit Guardians of the Galaxy starring Chris Pratt. Next we have an awards hopeful in the form of Get On Up, a biopic about James Brown. Finally, we have some reviews of Calvary, the latest film by John...

Below you’ll find reviews for Lucy, Magic in the Moonlight, The Purge: Anarchy, Wish I Was Here, Hercules and Sex Tape. Go check ’em out and don’t...
The film year is shaping up quite nicely as we have a new #1 LAMBScore for the 2nd week in row. Richard Linklater’s monumental film Boyhood has wowed the LAMBs with an abundance of perfect scores. It’s obviously the current must-see film, but our other new release is no slouch. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was also strongly reviewed and...
Hey! This is Shala from Life Between Films, film festival contributor for LAMB.

Here is currently how you can be apart of ‘The Festival Experience’ with...
It’s been a while since we’ve had a documentary in the LAMBScores, but we’ve finally got one in Life Itself. Considering the topic (the life of Roger Ebert), it’s no surprise that this would have been well-received. As you’ll see below, the film has firmly taken over the #1 spot in this year’s LAMBScores. We also have reviews for...
If you’ve been been paying any attention at all to the LAMB, you’d know that we recently held the second annual (official) meetup on July 11-13 in Chicago. A great time was had by all, and the even has been documented on the site’s of many LAMBs who either made the trip or are locals to the Chicagoland area.

Making his English-language debut, Joon-ho Bong’s Snowpiercer easily found a place in our Top 10 LAMBScores of the year. In addition, John Carney’s Begin Again received...
