That was...

    Quarantine Lambscores Part 1: March 2020 and Earlier

    Hi folks, hope everyone is keeping as well as possible in the mosquito-filled jockstrap that is 2020. As some of you may have noticed, this year’s cinema release schedule took something of a nosedive a few months ago, and the weekly Lambscores feature petered out along with it, but it’s back! And different! Kind of! For now at least! Exclamations!

    Anyway, a bunch of films got released digitally during that period of the...

    Lambscores: The Invisible Man

    Lambscores are going to look a little different in the next few weeks, maybe months, as they’ll mostly be looking at streaming and digital releases, but as long as there’s still reviews being posted to the LAMB forums, the Lambscores will continue! Today’s film, The Invisible Man (which is fantastic, by the way) has just been released digitally, just a few weeks after it was released in cinemas. These certainly are...
