We’re really exploring the varied landscape of cinema with our recent Movies of the Month, as last month we celebrated the fun sci-fi/comedy with the Back to the Future trilogy, and this month we delved into the somewhat murkier world of sex addiction with Steve McQueen’s Shame.
Host Jay Cluitt was joined by the film’s champion, Alex Withrow, along with Stevee Taylor, Jess Manzo and Kristen Lopez to...
The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon! And boy was it a nail-biter this time around!
It was pretty close for four of the five films for almost the entire run (sadly my own All About Eve never really got off the starting block), but in the last few hours there was a last ditch attempt for both Rosemary’s Baby and Shame, with Shame eventually taking the crown by one solitary...
We’ve been going through a faze as of late with our Movie of the Months – if you want to get picked, it seems the best thing to do is champion a time travel movie. So when the Lambcast’s first trilogy edition came around and not one but three immensely popular time travel films were submitted, it’s no surprise that they won.
Todd Liebenow was the successful victor with his choice of the Back to the...
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…
…
...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 champion Matt Stewart along with DJ Valentine, Jess Manzo and Bubbawheat to discuss their aca-feeling about the movie, before...
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 month with Pitch Perfect, quite possibly the polar opposite of The Wild Bunch, which should therefore make for a...
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 got to discuss Sam Peckinpah’s 1969 classic western The Wild Bunch.
It was only fitting that the most American of movie genres had...
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 month, as first time contender Will of Exploding Helicopter has successfully beaten out the competition with Sam...
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 same space (it can… but it can’t).…
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 Runaway Train. (Apparently, Joel is persona non grata when it comes to MOTM film selections,...
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 movie blogger at all, you’re probably wondering why and how this film came to be the Movie of the Month. For the...
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 nearly got his pick in without even needing a poll. As it was, Dan of Public Transportation Snob snuck in at the last second with an equally cheesy...
