I had previously alluded to there being a so-called LAMBcast Summer Series. Over the past few months, we’ve covered Iron Man 3, Star Trek Into Darkness, Fast & Furious 6, and Man of Steel. Finally, we’ve come to the end, with Neill Blomkamp’s follow-up to 2009’s surprise blockbuster District 9. Elysium is set in a similar world and time and covers themes not all...

Apparently, Jay really, really wanted to win, and he really, really wanted Demolition Man to be the film he won with. The man from Life vs. Film went all out for the MOTM poll; overall, we had 137 votes, and his film had more than half of them, in a competition that was a competition for about 12 hours before it got out of hand. To the rest of the potential Champions (well, except for Joe, perhaps), don’t fret. Try again...
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...
