The Lambscores leaderboard is being shaken up this week, with a flurry of smaller movies achieving enough reviews to be deemed worthy of collating. Two of the highest ranking films from the year – 10 Cloverfield Lane and The Lobster – have been knocked off the list by two other newcomers, Moonlight and The Handmaiden, meaning instead of having seen six of our Top 10, I’ve now only gotten...
There’s a bit of a disappointing turn-out for this week’s films, but I get the feeling that’s more due to the lacklustre nature of the films up for review than anything else. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about a couple of sequels, Ouija: Origin of Evil and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back:
Oujia: Origin of Evil
LAMB Average: 3.30 (5...
Two movies for you this week, one that has mixed reviews, and one that decidedly doesn’t. Here’s what the LAMB community has to say about The Accountant and Masterminds:

This week we’re looking at two films which both had a great deal of buzz around them early on, be it from the festival circuit or being an adaptation of the latest must-read thriller (personally, I’d say your fine not to read it, I was underwhelmed), but which both ran into stumbling problems when they hit the general public. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about The Birth Of A Nation and The Girl On The...
Five films for you this week, ranging from very small releases about chess and hazing to blockbusters about oil rig explosions and floating children, plus a Kate Winslet drama that frankly I didn’t much care for. Here’s what the LAMB community has to say:

I’m not entirely sure, but I think the remake of The Magnificent Seven might have been better if at least one of the eponymous protectors was an animated talking stork. I think the very least that should happen is someone should make this movie, just so we can find out. For the time being, here’s what the LAMB community had to say about both of these movies:
The Magnificent Seven
Everyone breathe a sigh of relief, my plane didn’t land on the Hudson River last week, or any other body of water for that matter, and to celebrate we’re looking at three movies with fairly mixed reviews, none of which I’ve got any plans to watch any time soon as they are either a part of a franchise I’ve never paid any attention to, a found footage horror or are about Edward Snowden:

As I write this, it’s a little terrifying that this week’s main movie is Sully, the true story of the pilot who successfully landed the plane on the Hudson River, and tomorrow I’ll be flying home on a plane, that will hopefully have a much less interesting landing. Also collated together this week are reviews of The Mechanic: Resurrection, which fills me with a whole different kind of fear, one of a future...
Only two movies for you this week, so I’m using this opportunity to catch up on some smaller releases from earlier in the year, which didn’t have enough reviews at the time, but do now. So instead of just Morgan and The Light Between Oceans, here’s the LAMB community’s take on eleven 2016 releases, enjoy!:
Hunt for the Wilderpeople

It’s safe to say that the giant summer movie season is well and truly finished for another year, and I don’t know about you but I’m fairly relieved, given how disappointing many of those glossy tent-poles turned out to be. Now we’re in the lull of lower expectations before autumn’s awards-hungry scramble begins, which means some of this week’s releases – Mechanic: Resurrection and Hands...
After a slew of middle-of-the-road movies in recent weeks, we’ve finally got a couple to mix up the leaderboard a little, with this week heralding two of this year’s best movies! And another couple of middle-of-the-roaders, because we can’t have everything, can we? Here’s what the LAMB community has to say about Hello Or High Water, Kubo and the Two Strings, War Dogs and...
