    Did you realize that you are a Champion in their eyes?

    Do you have what it takes to be a Movie of the Month Champion?

    Actually, that was somewhat rhetorical, as it doesn’t really take all that much. Anyway, the call is officially out for those interested in championing a film for the next MOTM/LAMBcast.

    Here are the finer details:

    It was a hotly, hotly contested battle, but in the end, there could be only one.  And that one is Inglourious Basterds.  French Toast Sunday’s MOTM choice took out all comers – including the behemoth that is Citizen Kane – and won the poll with 39% of the 118 votes cast.  Thanks to all that Championed a film and to those that voted, and congrats to FTS!

    Movie of the Month/LAMBcast #108: Blade Runner

     

    Once again, our Movie of the Month pick comes from the early 80s – specifically 1982, as discussed on the accompanying LAMBcast, a a banner year for sci-fi films the likes of which we probably won’t see again.  The choice this time out is Blade Runner, the Ridley Scott-directed, Harrison Ford-starring ensemble piece that delves into some of man’s largest questions: What does it mean to be human? To...

    The Fogs’ Movie Reviews takeover of the LAMB is nearing completion. First, Dan went and flexed his muscle to get The Shining to be last month’s selection. But that wasn’t enough….no, not by a long stretch. When I announced the new Champions wrinkle, he was all over it, and quickly took to the streets, haggling everyone and anyone he could to vote for his selection.

    Or maybe folks just liked his choice...

    Movie of the Month/LAMBcast #103: The Shining

    I think you’d be hard-pressed to find a movie fan, much less a movie blogger, not at least somewhat familiar with The Shining, but I give the IMDb summary every other time, so why not now?

    “A family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where an evil and spiritual presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from the past and of the future. “

    Let’s see...
