The MOTM for April 2014 will be…
I recently put out the call for a new kind of Movie of the Month champion – a trilogy! We had an eclectic bunch of entrants, but as always there can be only one winner…
LAMBCAST #209 MOTM PITCH PERFECT
Last month the MOTM champion was The Wild Bunch, a testosterone fuelled, bloody classic western. This month you’d find it difficult to find a film more different, as we sat down to discuss the 2012 female-driven a capella romantic comedy, Pitch Perfect.Host Jay Cluitt was joined by first time MOTM…
The MOTM for March 2014 will be…
The last movie of the month was The Wild Bunch, a very male-dominated, testosterone soaked western that only featured women as targets, hookers or human shields, so it’s very fitting that the preceding month sees a very female-dominated movie taking the crown. Matt Stewart of Simplistic Reviews has won this…
LAMBCAST #205 THE WILD BUNCH MOTM
It’s been a while since we’ve had the chance to talk about a critically acclaimed film as the movie of the month, what with recent months delivering the likes of Timecop, Cocktail and Demolition Man, so it was something of a relief that, thanks to Will from Exploding Helicopter, we…
THE MOTM FOR FEBRUARY 2014 WILL BE…
The past few months have seen some less than stellar movies being crowned Movie of the Month. Now, granted, the likes of Demolition Man, Cocktail, White Men Can’t Jump and Timecop all inspired entertaining discussion, but you won’t find many of them adorning Best Of lists. That’s all changed this…
LAMBCAST #201: TIMECOP MOTM
Jean Claude Van Damme! Time travelling! Kicking things! This month’s Movie of the Month champion is not what you’d necessarily call a “good” film, but it certainly provoked an entertaining discussion covering the career of JCVD, the ramifications of time travel and whether or not the same matter can share…
THE MOTM FOR JANUARY 2014 WILL BE…
Once again, the MOTM feature proves that all good things come to those who wait. Of course, your definition of “good things” may differ from someone else’s. Namely, Dan Heaton’s, whose championing of Timecop has now finally paid off with its selection as the MOTM, beating out Joel’s selection of…
MOTM/LAMBCAST #196: COCKTAIL
I don’t know if it’s a slight against the film or not, but this is the entirety of the IMDb summary of our most recent Movie of the Month, Cocktail: “A talented New York bartender takes a job at a bar in Jamaica and falls in love.“ If you’re a normal…
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…
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,…
