Hello. It’s Shala from Life Between Films. As a collaboration project between fans of film and film bloggers attending this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, three people (Daniel, Sean, and myself) documented our personal experiences, constructing a diary of sorts to chronicle the festival from the perspective of one person for one day. This may include all that we did, saw, and screened around Toronto on that particular day....

Episode Thoughts
I’m going to break the usual formula of these posts, because I honestly don’t have a heck of a lot to say. Before the finale aired, nobody...
Fall officially kicked off on September 22nd, and while the prestige film fare might not arrive simultaneously, we all know that the awards season (and the year’s second blockbuster season) come fairly quickly afterwards. As such, film buffs salivate over all of the potentially great films set to arrive from October through New Year’s. Here at the LAMBcast, it’s become an annual tradition to look forward and...

Hey everyone. Robert from Sketchy Details back with another edition of Foreign Chops. I apologize for getting this up so late in the month. I got overwhelmed with work obligations and lost track of time. The timing is going to be different to compensate for my mistake.
This month, we’re looking for your best reviews, write-ups, interviews, editorials, comics, what have you about European Horror films. It’s a wide open topic...

Dylan, Justin, Jason, Mette, and Bubbawheat gathered ’round the virtual campfire to do that ages-old tradition: talking about films that we’ve watched recently and have things to say about. For some of us, it’s rewatching an old favorite, for others it’s talking up an underseen film in theaters now, for others it’s finally catching up with an old classic. And then there’s Jason, who saw the film...
After last month’s destruction by, appropriately, Demolition Man, we were due for a change of pace, and boy did we get one. We had quite the downturn in participation; after 137 votes last month, there were just 51 this month, but the upside of that is that we had an intense race. It was so close, in fact, that the top three films were separated by a total of two votes, with Upstream Color winning with 14 votes,...
Last week I declared that we were already into the high quality fall season, but perhaps that statement was premature. This week’s releases are some of the worst reviewed films of the year. Check out what the LAMB members had to say about Closed Circuit and Getaway below and don’t forget to submit your reviews...

Is it a silly action flick with a quasi-serious message or a serious action flick made silly by two decades of aged cheese? Is it really from 1993 or is it the last 80s film? Is it live or is it Memorex? These questions and many, many more surround the 1993 Stallone and Snipes showdown Demolition Man, a film that deals with the pain of being aware of the passage of 40 years whilst being able to experience nothing but that...
