Oof. There’s bad weeks and there’s bad weeks, and this is definitely at least one of those options. Not just oen but two movies rated below 1.5 LAMBs? Two 0.5 LAMBs reviews? Next week’s double-bill of Lego Batman and John Wick 2 can’t come quickly enough, so let’s get through today’s less-than-exciting offerings and hopefully next Friday will come along sooner. Here’s what the LAMB...
This weekend comes with lots of awards excitement for both the people that love it – the Oscars are here! Finally! – and those who don’t – people will stop talking about the Oscars now! Finally! – so it’s not too disappointing that this week’s crop of films is a little lacklustre. Not enough reviews have been submitted for either Resident Evil: The Final Chapter or A Dog’s...
This is more like it! I’ve been complaining these past couple of weeks about the usual January dreck filling up these Lambscores posts, but finally we’ve got at least a couple of films with positive reviews amongst them. Hurrah! Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about the new xXx movie, a biopic on the man behind McDonalds, and an M. Night Shyamalan movie that people actually like (there’s three things I never...
“Cult Chops” a monthly feature where each month we will be looking at a different genre of cult cinema as well as key actors and directors who established their legacies directing films from these genres
Kicking off a new year of Cult Chops, January was all about “Kaiju Movies” a genre which has given us the likes of Godzilla and Gamera and whose influence can still be felt in the likes of Cloverfield...
The January releases haven’t gotten any better this week, folks! Not enough people reviewed either Monster Trucks or Sleepless (can’t say I blame them), which means all we’re left with is The Bye Bye Man, which I’m assuming is either a horror movie or a biopic of Lance Bass. Anyway, here’s what the LAMB community had to say about it:
The Bye Bye Man
Looks like we’re kicking off the 2017 releases with some fairly typical January fare – a horror sequel not a lot of people asked for, which has been received about as well as anybody would really expect. Ah well, I guess we have to start somewhere, don’t we? I feel like if Kate Beckinsale didn’t appear in all these Underworld films, maybe her incredible performance in 2016’s Love &...
We’ve reached the end of January, so this is the last Lambscores covering films from 2016, and we’re closing things out with a couple of Oscar nominees, a well-received true-life drama and Ben Affleck’s disappointing follow-up to Argo. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Hidden Figures, 20th Century Women, Patriot’s Day and Live By Night:
There’s so many films to discuss this week! As usual, a bus-load of movies got released for that post-Christmas break, and that bus seems to have been driven by Paterson, which has become another of 2016’s highest rated films. Also in the discussion today are the likes of Silence, A Monster Calls, Passengers, Assassin’s Creed and Sing, as well as a bunch of smaller films of varying degrees of quality. So, without further...
The new Star Wars movie may have dominated at the box office, but that rarely means it also received the best reviews. Well this week we finally find out just what everyone thought about it, as the community reaction is stacked up against the likes of Fences and Collateral Beauty. Here’s what we all have to say:
Fences

So it’s a new year and time to kick off a new season of “Cult Chops” and what better way than starting off with a frequently misunderstood / downplayed genre of movies involving giant monsters waging mass destruction or engaging in monster sized smackdowns.
The term “Kaiju” is a Japanese word that means “Strange Beast” though often translated as monster. Traditionally this word is used for...
It’s the first LAMBScores of the new year! We’re still of course looking at films from 2016, so there’s still time for these films to make it onto the leaderboard, which is exactly what has happened! Check out what the LAMB community has to say about Christine, Miss Sloane, Office Christmas Party and La La Land:
La La Land
LAMB...
There’s a selection of smaller films for you this week, as the only major release was Jackie, but a bunch of others have now earned enough reviews for qualification. Therefore, here’s what the LAMB community also has to say about Elle, Under the Shadow, Bleed For This and Denial:
Under the Shadow
