    The next Movie of the Month will be…


    The poll results are in – thank you to the 81 voters who took part. The next MOTM will be Moon, which destroyed the competition by taking in 27.2% of the votes. Here’s what goes down from here:

The sixth film from Danish director Nicholas Winding Refn (Drive) is, well…have a look at the plot synopsis from IMDb, as it might be the most...

    The next Movie of the Month will be…


    The poll results are in – thank you to the 71 voters who took part. The next MOTM will be Bronson (how perfectly coincidental, hot on the heels of the superhot Drive). Here’s what needs to go down from here:

    * The first thing you need to know is that October 15th is the big day. Sorry for the short turnaround this time, but a) it’s a newer film, so many have probably seen it already, and b) it’s on...

    Movie of the Month/LAMBcast #85: Bande à parte

    Are you ready to get your Nouvelle Vague on? We take a gander at Jean-Luc Godard’s 1964 film Bande à parte for the MOTM this time out.
