    Foreign Chops #17: South Korea

    Robert from Sketchy Details back with a new edition of Foreign Chops. This time, we took a look at the cinematic output of South Korea. Though we had a small turnout this month, you guys are in for a real treat. This is the first time since I started covering Foreign Chops that there has been no overlap between submissions. What you have are 18 separate films covered in 16 great posts looking at films from South Korea. From comedy to...

    Brutally Blunt Blog Blustering #74 – Nevermind Pop Film
    If you’re new to this feature or need a refresher, click the label at the bottom of this post and see the previous posts. Otherwise, here are the basics: What I do is list a site; you critique it. But here’s the catch: to induce the most honest reactions, don’t leave the comment using your normal alias/login – instead, go anonymous (for now you probably need to comment through bogus information and I’ll moderate all comments...

    LAMBCAST #194: THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE

    No need for any fancy introduction this time out: it’s the sequel to the massive hit The Hunger Games, and it’s going to be one of the biggest commercial hits of the year.  As such, the LAMBcast does its duty and covers the film with an episode devoted to it.  On hand for the GAMES (not only did I go there, but I went BIG!) were your host Dylan, as well as French Toasties Lindsay and Jess, in addition to TWO newcomers...

    LAMBCAST #193: BRING YOUR OWN DISCUSSION TOPIC

    What’s the deal with perfect ratings?  How important should a potential partner’s taste in (and interest in) film be to you, the film lover and/or blogger?  And seriously, what’s the deal with all the superhero fare in the 21st century?  These topics and many more (ok, maybe not many more, but many more tangents, such as Jay’s usage of the term “move house”) are brought to the table in yet another...

  • THE MOTM FOR DECEMBER 2013 WILL BE…

    THE MOTM FOR DECEMBER 2013 WILL BE…

    Timing is everything!  At least as it pertains to the selection of the Movie of the Month, it is.  Justin of Man, I Love Films has attempted to wedge his love for Cocktail and/or Tom Cruise into several MOTM polls, and by waiting until the clamor to champion films died down, he nearly got his pick in without even needing a poll.  As it was, Dan of Public Transportation Snob snuck in at the last second with an equally cheesy...

    MOTM/LAMBCAST #192: WHITE MEN CAN’T JUMP

    Pretty sure I haven’t seen an IMDb summary recently that makes the film it’s talking about sound much worse than this one: 

    Billy and Sydney think they’re the best basketball hustlers in town, so when they join forces, nothing can stop them, except each other. To add to their problems, Billy owes money and is being chased by a pair of gangster types.

    White Men Can’t Jump,...

    LAMBScores: The Bad Counselor


    After last week’s record-breaking scores, there was nowhere to go but down. Indeed, this weeks releases couldn’t match up. The Counselor was widely perceived as a failure, while Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa also didn’t seem to inspire much interest. Click below to find out what the lammies had to say about these films and don’t...

    LAMBCAST #191: ASK THE LAMB #3

    “If you got a problem, yo, we’ll solve it.”

    That’s the motto for the Ask the LAMB feature here, a segment that finds its host Jason Soto trolling Yahoo Answers for truly insane questions. It can bring some seriously credible answers from a wide variety of film bloggers. It can also bring some seriously funny answers. Occasionally, it does both.

    And so, Jason brings to you the third edition of this...

    LAMBScores: The Slave’s Fifth Escape


    Stop the Presses! We have a new record for the highest LAMBScore ever and that special film is…12 Years A Slave. Steve McQueen’s unflinching film has already thrilled the mainstream critics and now it has made its mark with our online community (almost a perfect score!). If you didn’t think it was an awards contender before, then think again. Films also featured...
