    The Movie of the Month for June 2016 is…

    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.…

    Movie of the Month Round-up: The Godfather Trilogy

    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. We’re still planning on releasing a show as soon as we can, but with the end of the month just around the corner and May’s Movie of the...

    Director’s Chair Introduction: Derek Jarman

Starting off as a set designer, most notably working on Ken Russell’s The Devils,...

    Director’s Chair: Kenneth Branagh

    So my first run on Director’s Chair has finished.

I hope that this is a good starting point for future directors I’ll highlight. So without further ado, here are the reviews for Kenneth Branagh’s films that I received.…

    The Movie of the Month for April 2016 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

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...
