  The poll results are in – thank you to the 90 voters who took part. The next MOTM will be The Evil Dead, which had a pretty firm grip on the lead for the duration of the poll and held on to beat 2nd-place finisher Run Lola Run. with 20% of the votes. Here’s what goes down from here:

  * The first thing you need to know is that January 14th is the big day. You have about 2 1/2 weeks to watch the flick (this posting is...

• Movie of the Month/LAMBcast #97: Dead Man

  by Dylan · Dec 18, 2011 at 4:30 CST · LAMBcast, MOTM, Podcasts · 8 Comments
  

  To steal a line from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which will come up on the LAMBcast devoted to this MOTM, it’s quite possible that Jim Jarmusch, and this film in particular, are ” Too weird to live, and too rare to die.” Dead Man is some kind of neo-Western, a postmodern breed of film that’s too strange and slow perhaps for most audiences, but is music to the heart of so many others. Filled with striking images and...

• The LAMBs in the Director’s Chair #22

  by Shep. Burman · Nov 29, 2011 at 21:56 CST · Director's Chair · 3 Comments
  

  Event #22 starring
  Woody Allen

  He is a small framed man, wears a pair of thick framed eye glasses, rattles out a lengthy list of self-deprecating Jewish humor without showing any signs of slowing down, and appears to be successful with getting a foot in the door with a lot of beautiful women. When the name of Woody Allen crosses my mind, I immediately conjure up cinematic images from Annie Hall, Mighty...

• LAMBcast #94: Woody Allen

  by Shep. Burman · Nov 29, 2011 at 6:59 CST · Director's Chair, LAMBcast, Podcasts · 6 Comments
  

  Just in time for tomorrow’s latest addition to the LAMBs in the Director’s Chair series, the LAMBcast tackles the career of Woody Allen. Dylan, Sam, Dan Heaton, Alex and newcomer Danny Reid dug deep and attempted to rattle around the brain of the neurotic writer-director-actor-institution. We talked up and down the guy so much that we skipped out on the usual format and ditched Rants and Raves of the Week, though of course we...

  The poll results are in – thank you to the 98 voters who took part. That’s a new record, though I suspect some non-LAMB funny business was afoot, what with the winning film’s overwhelming last-minute takeover of the poll… Anyway, the next MOTM will be Dead Man, which destroyed the competition by taking in 34.7% of the votes. Here’s what goes down from here:

• Movie of the Month/LAMBcast #92: Moon

  by Dylan · Nov 12, 2011 at 20:50 CST · LAMBcast, MOTM, Podcasts · 6 Comments
  

  Duncan Jones’ 2009 sci-fi drama Moon kind of crept up on audiences, but they quickly fell in love with its intimacy, it’s ambition, and its inventiveness. Made for a mere $5MM, its setting and effects gave the impression of a much larger-budgeted film, and Jones’ direction combined with a career-defining performance by Sam Rockwell (in a career seemingly chock full of new peaks) made it an Oscar hopeful and surefire cult...
