This week’s new releases cover both extremes of the quality spectrum. First up, we have one of the Top 10 LAMBScores of 2013 in Spike Jonze’s Her. On the other hand, we also have one the worst LAMBScores ever, thanks to The Legend of Hercules. In between those, we’ve also got reviews for August: Osage County...
Next up on our docket of national day celebrations is Waitangi Day. Waitangi Day is a national holiday in New Zealand commemorating the Treaty of Waitangi, the founding document of New Zealand.

In honor of Waitangi Day, we’re asking you to submit your best content on New Zealand cinema. New...

In order to open up an even wider discussion about films from all around the world, we’re going to begin celebrating holidays of national and international importance at The LAMB. These are going to be far less formal than Foreign Chops and will hopefully continue as annual events.
Our first subject is going to be Australia. Australia Day, the national holiday of Australia, is celebrated each year on January 26. It marks the...
