    Lambscores: Allied, Moana

    Two films this week, one a strong contender for the Best Animated Feature awards, and the other a film that looked promising early on, but sadly received enough lacklustre reviews to discount it from many of the big prizes. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Moana and Allied:

    Lambscores: Nocturnal Loving By The Sea

    We’re well and truly knee-deep in awards season right now, so it must be time for the cinemas to fill up with dramas, and there’s three in store for you this week. They all sound pretty solid, and there’s thirteen different 5-star reviews amongst the round-up today! Here’s what the LAMB community has to say about Loving, Nocturnal Animals and Manchester By The Sea:

    Lambscores: The Edge of Seventeen, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

    Two films this week, one an under-seen but apparently quite good teen comedy, the other a disappointing spin-off that will hopefully lead to more promising sequels. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about The Edge of Seventeen and Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them:

    Lambscores: The American Handmaiden’s Violent Moonlight Inferno

    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...

    Lambscores: Ouija: Never Go Back

    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:

    Cult Chops (November) – Carsploitation
    Hey folks,

    So it’s a new month which means its time for a new Cult Chops theme and in November the car is the star as we look at “Carsploitation” movies. Simply put if the car is the main focus of the film, being shot with an over fetishist like eye or it features a large amount of cars being smashed you have a movie from this genre. A mainstay of 70’s and 80’s American and Australian cinema, it faded away...

    “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

    October was predictably a spooky month for all as we looked at the classic horror stable, the Slasher movie. But who made it through the night and who met their gruesome demise? Now much like finding where your...
