    Foreign Chops #19: Best of the 2000s

    Robert back again with the results of Foreign Chops #19. I asked for your picks for the best non-English films released since 2000 and you delivered. There’s an incredible variety of films from all around the world to check out. Only three films were selected by more than one participant: Amour, Let the Right One In, and The Raid: Redemption.

    LAMBCAST #204 WHATCHA BEEN WATCHING LATELY

    A lot of movie podcasts have a regular feature in which they discuss the latest films they’ve seen. We don’t normally do that here; instead we just wait and dedicate an entire episode to it!

    Technical and scheduling issues resulted in a three-man show, with host Jay Cluitt joined by Jason Soto and Todd Liebenow, but this resulted in a meandering discussion that took in everything from the early career of Hayden...

    Waitangi Day (New Zealand) at The LAMB

    Happy Waitangi Day, everyone. We’re celebrating the cinematic output of New Zealand today. We’ve managed to cover most of Peter Jackson’s films (sorry, King Kong and The Lovely Bones, fans) and even a few films he had nothing to do with. Relax and read some great New Zealand film content today.

    The Festival Experience: One Blogger, One Day @ Sundance

    Hey, there. Shala from Life Between Films. I started a collaboration series last year for bloggers attending film festivals to write a journal entry of sorts of one day in their life while they attended. We have since done this project for the Tribeca Film Festival as well as the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). This time around it’s just me and another blogger named Iba, each attending Sundance 2014 with press credentials....

On the other hand, we also have one the worst LAMBScores ever, thanks to The Legend of Hercules. In between those, we’ve also got reviews for August: Osage County...

    LAMBCAST #202 BEST OF 2013

    2013 has been and gone, so it’s about time we here at the Lambcast paid it a fitting farewell by reminiscing over our favourite films from the year, and boy did we do it in style. Host Jay Cluitt was joined by Lindsay Street, Shane Slater, Jessica Elgenstierna and Kristen Lopez to reel off their top 5s, before awarding some random Lamb (Lamb-dom? No.) awards wherever they felt necessary.
