After last week’s record-breaking scores, there was nowhere to go but down. Indeed, this weeks releases couldn’t match up. The Counselor was widely perceived as a failure, while Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa also didn’t seem to inspire much interest. Click below to find out what the lammies had to say about these films and don’t...
“If you got a problem, yo, we’ll solve it.”
That’s the motto for the Ask the LAMB feature here, a segment that finds its host Jason Soto trolling Yahoo Answers for truly insane questions. It can bring some seriously credible answers from a wide variety of film bloggers. It can also bring some seriously funny answers. Occasionally, it does both.
And so, Jason brings to you the third edition of this...
Stop the Presses! We have a new record for the highest LAMBScore ever and that special film is…12 Years A Slave. Steve McQueen’s unflinching film has already thrilled the mainstream critics and now it has made its mark with our online community (almost a perfect score!). If you didn’t think it was an awards contender before, then think again. Films also featured...
We’ve got another strong week for you as the awards contenders continue to be rolled out through the fall/winter. This batch of new films includes a pair of action films from Paul Greengrass and Robert Rodriguez (Captain Phillips and Machete Kills respectively) along with a well-received romantic comedy...
Robert from Sketchy Details back with a new edition of Foreign Chops. The schedule just got so off (totally my fault, apologies all around) that it was just easier to wait for the start of a new month than try to cram in a second topic partway through October.
This month, we’re going to look at the cinema of South Korea. South Korean entertainment as a whole is really coming into its own on a global level. There’s even a...
Just in time for Halloween, here is out latest edition of Classic Chops. Any and all posts on pre-1965 horror movies were what we were looking for this time. So take a little time off from scarfing down Reeses’ Peanut Butter Cups and mini-sized Snickers bars to check out a few of these terrifying posts.
For our next Classic Chops we’re going to look at films featuring “blonde bombshells.” Actresses like...
Persistence indeed pays! Though, it also helps to not have as much competition. On his sixth (and reportedly final) attempt at making Ron Shelton’s 1992 hoops comedy the Movie of the Month, Joe Giuliano of Two Dude Review has made White Men Can’t Jump a winner. It was a very light turnout with just 32 votes, but White Men still won handily, easily beating Shep Joel’s choice of Body Double. ...
If the LAMBScores are any indication, this is one hell of a film year. Fruitvale Station set a high benchmark over the summer, but Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity has now taken over as our top-rated movie of the year. There’s also another release this week (Runner Runner) but it wasn’t up to par. Check out all the...
Primer was released in 2004 and it’s safe to say that it didn’t exactly set the world on fire. When the receipts had all been counted, it had made a little less than half a million. The thing is, when your film costs $7,000 and makes that much (combined with the growing success of Netflix), people start to pay attention. Word of mouth spreads, talk of brilliance and complexity abounds, and the next thing you know,...
This week’s pair of release aren’t as strong as last week’s set, but they are noteworthy in their own right. First up, we have the directorial debut of Joseph Gordon-Levitt – Don Jon. Next we have the animated sequel Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. Both got fairly positive scores, so be sure to check out what your fellow...
Hi everyone. Robert from Sketchy Details here with another edition of Foreign Chops. In honor of Halloween, I asked you to send me your best content on European Horror and you didn’t disappoint. We have a wide range of styles, countries, and time periods represented, which is always exciting. The most submitted films were a surprise, too: The Vanishing and Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages. They’re both great horror...
Last week I was busy at the New York Film Festival, so this post will be combined with last week’s scheduled scores. We therefore have no less than 5 new releases on the slate. These films represent almost all the genres – comedy (The Family), drama (The Spectacular Now), horror (Insidious: Chapter 2), thriller...
