  • MOTM/LAMBcast #119: An American Werewolf in London

    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...

    The next Movie of the Month will be…


    Well, it’s about time – I finally won one of these polls!  I knew you would come to see my ways eventually.

    Or something like that.

    Anyway, yes, again we had another pretty tight matchup for the poll, with An American Werewolf in London finally knocking off Children of Men (a solid pick that I would have voted for had I not had a horse in the race) to become the next Movie of the Month...

  • Movie of the Month/LAMBcast #114: Heathers

    Movie of the Month/LAMBcast #114: Heathers

    Released in 1988, Heathers was not only a product of its time but perhaps a bit ahead of it as well.  The pitch-black comedy starred Winona Ryder (soon to hit the big time with Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands) and Christian Slater (also early in his career) as a pair of young lovers intent on creating some chaos at their high school.  Although it wasn’t a hit at the time, it was a unique enough vision to gain a...

    The next Movie of the Month will be…


    We had another tight, tight race for the next Movie of the Month film.  In the end, we set a new record high for votes, shattering the old record of 204 by a whopping 90 votes.  Of course, Joel and I have become aware of a glitch with the Vizu poll site that allows for multiple votes by certain browsers or something, so as much as we like the high vote total, I won’t be using the site again for these purposes.  Still, we...
