Three solid, middle-of-the-road films this week in terms of their collaborated review scores. Some people didn’t like them, some liked them a great deal, but on average it seems they’re all worth watching. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Florence Foster Jenkins, Sausage Party and Pete’s Dragon:

Just one movie for you this week. Suicide Squad was such a hotly anticipated product that it seemed a wise decision for all the other studios to move their releases out of the way, except for the Kevin-Spacey-is-a-cat movie Nine Lives, but not enough people reviewed that, so we won’t discuss it any further. What we will do, though, is have a look at what everyone had to say about Suicide Squad:
I remember in the lead-up to Jason Bourne‘s release there being a lot of excitement and fanfare – the plan had even been to dedicate a LAMBCast to it, potentially the full franchise, but the schedule didn’t work out. Then the fifth instalment in the series was released, apparently, and I managed to hear diddly-squat about it from anywhere which, judging by this week’s LAMBScores, is because it was largely...
Another eclectic mix of movies for you this week, and this time the highest voted film, and one that jumps straight to the number 1 spot on the LAMBScores table for the year, is one that I’ve barely even heard of! Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Star Trek Beyond, Lights Out, Cafe Society, Ice Age: Collision Course and Captain Fantastic:
Captain...
Time to look at one of 2016’s most divisive films this week, Paul Feig’s reboot of the 1984 classic, Ghostbusters. Whether you went in with an open mind or were a dyed-in-the-wool “Ghost-Bro”, or came out raving or grumbling, everyone seemed to have a different opinion, but what did the LAMB community have to say? Check out our reviews below, along with some thoughts on the latest Bryan Cranston vehicle,...
Of these weeks two movies, there’s one that I’ve been really looking forward to seeing, and the other looked like utter tripe, yet based on these reviews from the LAMB community my trailer-based predictions could be entirely mis-placed. Guess I’ll just have to watch them both some time and find out. In the mean time, here’s what the LAMB has to say about The Secret Life of Pets and Mike and Dave Need...
Three films for you this week. Here’s what the LAMB community has to say about The BFG, The Legend of Tarzan and The Purge: Election Year:

Changes to the leader board again this week, with the “Farting Corpse Movie” proving far better than that high concept would have you believe. In fact, this week proves that a giant budget and flood of marketing doesn’t guarantee a great movie, as you could practically plot on a graph this week that the bigger the film, the worse the reviews. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about the recent major...
The LAMB is an international community, and somewhat annoyingly not all films get released at the same time worldwide (*cough* Snowpiercer *cough*). For the bigger releases there might be just a week’s difference, but here in the UK the films that really hurt me personally are the Pixar releases, which are often released over a month later than a lot of other countries, presumably to match up with the school holidays. As such...
You know what I’m getting sick of? Sequels. Every week the Lambscores posts are full of sequel after sequel, unoriginal adaptation after unoriginal adaptation. We need at least five reviews for a relatively fair ranking, so get out there and review the smaller films! Please! If only for my sake! Alas, this week we’ve got a horror sequel, a completely unwanted nonsense magic sequel and, sigh, a video game adaptation that’s...
This week’s releases aren’t exactly what could be described as “prestigious” but some of you found them entertaining and as far as I’m concerned that’s all that matters. This week we’ve reviewed Me Before You, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows and so far winning the best title of the year: Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. Here’s what the LAMB...
I forgot to mention last week that the very well received Sing Street sent ripples through the LAMBScores table by becoming our highest rated film so far this year! Alas no such luck this week, with some lacklustre sequels and a little-seen period piece not making too much of an impact. Maybe we’ll have better luck next week with Out of the Shadows. Up for review this week: Alice Through The Looking Glass,...
