The LAMB members have spoken (or should I say written?) and it’s clear that the film to beat this year is Fruitvale Station. With its rave reviews it has seized the highest LAMBScore for 2013 and has already topped last year’s best reviewed film The Imposter. Although Fruitvale Station takes the spotlight this week, the other releases (The Way Way...
Robert from Sketchy Details back for another edition of Foreign Chops. This month, we’re focusing on Spain. Spain has racked up a staggering 19 nominations for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars, topped only by Italy (27) and France (36).
The Spanish film industry has been actively producing films for over a century. From the silent films of the pre-Civil War era to the growing influence of Neo-Realism in the 1950s, Spain...

Wanna win the Movie of the Month poll?
I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s a lock – particularly not when there’s more than one film meeting the criteria – but choosing a film from pre-1965 seems to be a pretty solid strategy. I also wouldn’t go so far as to say that that was the strategy Dan Heaton had in mind when he chose Double Indemnity as his film to Champion, but the results...
We’ve got an eclectic bunch of new titles for you, from the divisive Only God Forgives to the latest James Wan scarefest The Conjuring. Additionally, we’ve got reviews for Turbo, Red 2 and R.I.P.D.. With so many films to choose from, find out below which ones are...
Believe it or not, it’s been over 80 episodes since our last Director Retrospective (we really need to do these more often). That last one was for Woody Allen on episode 94. When the idea came up/was rejuvenated to do another one, I had a very specific set of criteria I was looking for the director to fit, and Richard Linklater was one of the very few – if not the only one – that could have fit the bill.
I...
The results are in and the people have spoken! On episode #176 of The LAMBcast , we held our fourth Actor’s Career Draft, in which Nolahn, Nick, Jay, Todd, and Dylan cycled through Nic Cage’s, ahem, eclectic filmography, selecting films of his to be on our “teams” for our own mythical film festivals. It was filled with great films, terrible films, greatly terrible films and terribly great films, all (or at least...
This week’s LAMBScores feature a pair of major releases. One of them is a highly-anticipated blockbuster (Pacific Rim), the other is a smaller arthouse pic (The Hunt) but it’s just as beloved. Find out what the LAMB had to say about both films and don’t forget to include your reviews in the forums.

Robert from Sketchy Details back with another round of Foreign Chops. I asked you to send in your work on Italian film and you didn’t disappoint. From gritty gialli to cerebral high art films, there’s a whole lot of great writing on Italy to catch up with here. The most popular director was Dario Argento and the most popular film split three ways between Fellini’s 8 1/2 and Argento’s The Bird with the Crystal...
Sometimes we need to take a step back from reviewing films or talking about what we’ve been watching lately or playing LAMBpardy to just talk amongst ourselves. To learn a bit more about each other, outside of our love of films. With that said, I present to you the second edition of Get To Know Your LAMBcasters, where I was joined by Joel, Joe, Kristen and first-timer Robert Zerbe of To the Escape Hatch. We talked about swimming...
Last week on the LAMBcast, we had another in our Actor Career Draft series, this time on the man/myth/legend/joke that is Nic Cage. We had a ton of fun – notably with not knowing which directions to take with a career as bonkers as Cage’s. There were twists, turns, and other special quirks to this draft, something I felt was fitting given our subject (be sure to listen to the episode – I also had a ton of fun with...
