The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
Sometimes it seems timing has a great deal to do with which film wins the Movie of the Month poll. It can be timing for a good reason or, as is the case with June, timing from a far sadder event. Basically, what I’m trying to say is that next month we’ll be talking about… Purple Rain.…

Another Movie of the Month poll with a very eclectic mix of films that almost went in many different directions. In the end there were just a handful of votes between the top four movies, but of course there can only be one winner and for the month of May we’ll be talking about… Labyrinth.…
...Normally by now you might have expected an episode of the Lambcast to have dropped on the Movie of the Month, which for April is The Godfather Trilogy. Unfortunately we’ve had some scheduling issues over on the show, and as yet have been unable to get together to record the show.

I said back in the post I did announcing the return of this feature that I would be highlighting more obscure and offbeat directors during my tenure running this feature and I feel that no director exemplifies this more than Derek Jarman. Starting off as a set designer, most notably working on Ken Russell’s The Devils,...
So my first run on Director’s Chair has finished.

The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
Once a year we mix up the Movie of the Month by throwing the curve ball of a franchise special, and now is the time for 2016’s. Eleven different franchises were submitted, which just with October 2015 proved far too many and ended up diluting the vote somewhat, with the ultimate victor ending up just 2 votes ahead of it’s nearest competitor. Regardless, there was...
