• The MOTM for June 2013 will be…

  by Dylan · May 28, 2013 at 7:37 CDT · Blogathons, Features, MOTM · 3 Comments
  

  It was one of the lower voted-upon MOTM polls we’ve had in a while, but it was so less tense.  Dead Alive was pretty much staked out to a two-vote lead over The Incredibles from the start, and that’s exactly how it ended.  Every time I looked at the results, that’s what it showed me.  Weird.  In the end, the Peter Jackson grossout took the vote, giving French Toast Sunday the win. As such, FTS becomes...

• MOTM/LAMBCAST #167: AMERICAN PSYCHO

  by Dylan · May 21, 2013 at 7:48 CDT · Blogathons, Featured, Features, LAMBcast, MOTM, Podcasts · 4 Comments
  

  Feels like forever since we’ve had one of these, no?

  A serial killer horror-comedy period piece…in the wrong hands, American Psycho might have been a nightmare all its own.  But director Mary Harron (I Shot Andy Warhol), who also adapted the screenplay of Bret Easton Ellis’ novel, delivered a pop culture postcard complete with one of the all-time great breakout roles in Christian Bale’s...

• The MOTM for May 2013 will be…

  by Dylan · Apr 19, 2013 at 1:22 CDT · Blogathons, Featured, Features, MOTM · 8 Comments
  

  Not sure where the debate from last month went when it came to the choices for this MOTM.  Sure, none of these are quite as beloved as The Princess Bride, but I think the central argument is still there.  On the surface, we have a polished, widely seen, mostly-regarded-as-a-classic film in American Psycho (long a film blogger favorite) versus three less-loved, less-widely known films in White Men Can’t Jump,...

• MOTM/LAMBcast #161: The Princess Bride

  by Dylan · Apr 8, 2013 at 6:34 CDT · Blogathons, Featured, Features, LAMBcast, Podcasts · 7 Comments
  

  It was a battle for the ages, and it led to a film containing a fair few battles eing the winner.  Yes, The Princess Bride took down Primer, this renewing the debate over what should and shouldn’t be a Movie of the Month yet again.  Should it shine a light on lesser-known/lesser-seen gems that slipped through the cracks or should it feature timeless classics?  If you ask me, the answer leans towards the former but...

• The MOTM for April 2013 will be…

  by Dylan · Mar 26, 2013 at 4:32 CDT · Blogathons, Featured, Features, MOTM · 13 Comments
  

  It was billed as an epic showdown and, for the most part, it turned out that way.  Two potential Champions have each been throwing out a certain film for several months now, so we decided to do something unique for the MOTM poll.  Jason Soto of Your Face has been tossing out Primer and Nick Powell of The Cinematic Katzenjammer has been throwing out The Princess Bride.  The idea was this:  A Loser Goes Home...

• MOTM/LAMBcast #158: Identity

  by Dylan · Mar 17, 2013 at 23:11 CDT · Blogathons, Featured, Features, LAMBcast, MOTM, Podcasts · 9 Comments
  

  I don’t want to say that MOTM poll winner Justin (of Man, I Love Films) did anything improper to not only win the poll but destroy the competition (especially since he’s a friend of mine and writes for my site), but let’s just say that the reaction to his choice of film and the amount of reactions from LAMB members didn’t exactly substantiate the pick.  And yet, it’s not as though we on the LAMBcast came up...

  I don’t know what to tell you, but this contest was over before it started.  Not sure what Justin of Man, I Love Films used to bribe people, but it worked (and he assured me that his campaigning was all “legit”).  Identity destroyed the field from about two hours into the polling all the way through the end, winning with over 40% of the vote.   As such, Justin becomes the latest Champion and has won a...

• MOTM/LAMBcast #153: Last Year at Marienbad

  by Dylan · Feb 13, 2013 at 6:10 CST · Blogathons, Featured, Features, LAMBcast, MOTM, Podcasts · No Comments
  

  I could easily lead off with some joke about how abstract Last Year at Marienbad is or how much I want to play Nim or what those people standing there like mannequins might have been thinking the whole time this film was made, but frankly, I think we did enough of that on the podcast (see below).  Suffice to say, Marienbad is a strange, interesting, boring, mysterious, exciting, beautiful, bizarre film…often times all...
