    Who will be the next MOTM Champion?
    The first image to come up when Googling “champion”

    It’s almost time for the next MOTM poll, and I need Champions with which to fill it!  Do you have what it takes to be a Movie of the Month Champion?

    Here are the finer details:

    * If your championed film wins, you get to not only appear on that month’s LAMBcast, but to ‘host’ the MOTM segment – explain why you chose the film, what...

    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...

  • Movie of the Month/LAMBcast #111: Inglourious Basterds

    Movie of the Month/LAMBcast #111: Inglourious Basterds

    Time for me to eat crow.  From the onset, I wasn’t such a big fan of Inglourious Basterds as a choice for the Movie of the Month – it seeming to be a too recent and too popular film for my particular MOTM tastes.  In the end, the die-hard battle between it and Citizen Kane had me more than supporting it as the eventual choice, and I couldn’t have been more wrong about my preconceptions of it being chosen. ...
