    MOTM/LAMBcast #128: Battle Royale

    Is it just me, or is it strange how the discussions of certain book-to-film adaptations seem to center on the quality of adaptation rather than the quality of film; that the act of the adaptation is so inseparable from the film that it’s impossible to ignore?  Think about The Hunger Games recently, or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; although certainly not all film bloggers read these books prior to seeing the films, it does...

    The next Movie of the Month will be…


    On the latest MOTM poll, it turned out to be just a two-horse race, but nonetheless it was still a tense race, as Battle Royale and Primer duked it out till the end, with 3 Guys 1 Movie’s choice of BR winning in the end, by the tally of 32 votes to 25.  Now the titular guys just have to figure out which one will be the representative on the LAMBcast…

    MOTM/LAMBcast #123: The Shape of Things

    Neil LaBute’s fifth feature film (following such indie hits as In the Company of Men and Your Friends and Neighbors) came and went pretty quietly in 2003, despite featuring such current luminaries as Paul Rudd and Rachel Weisz (as well as Gretchen Mol).  Based on LaBute’s play of the same name, it follows the pattern he set of focusing on gender dynamics, featuring brutal, often funny dialogue and low...

    The next MOTM will be…


    This post comes at least a week late, and for that, I apologize.  You have just two weeks to watch the film, though if it helps at all, it is available to view on Netflix streaming.

    Somehow, some way, Dan Gvozden’s MOTM pick took down some titans.  If you’d asked me to predict The Shape of Things’ finishing place amongst the 10 films in the last MOTM poll, I’m not sure if I’d have guessed it...

    MOTM/LAMBcast #119: An American Werewolf in London

    Released in 1981, An American Werewolf in London was heralded early on for its groundbreaking special effects, which remain the de facto star all these years later.  A simple, stripped-down tale of men and the monsters that they become, it continued writer/director John Landis’ incredible 80s run after Animal House and The Blues Brothers and would lead directly to his working with Michael Jackson on the...
