    The next Movie of the Month will be…


    The poll results are in – thank you to the 54 voters who have made The Long Kiss Goodnight the next MOTM. Here’s what needs to go down from here:

    * The first thing you need to know is that August 20th is the big day.

    * You have just about four weeks to watch the flick if you haven’t already, and to write up something, then send me the link (dylan at manilovefilms.com) to either what you write or something...

    Invasion of the Lambs #17

    Welcome to the first of what I hope to be several resurrected features here at the LAMB. Invasion of the Lambs is a screenshot game that stopped short after 16 installments almost two years ago, but certainly not from lack of interest. It will now be a regular Saturday feature.

    It’s quite simple, but I’ll let Dylan’s original description explain:

    Many sites have screencap quizzes, but how many are invaded by...

    What I do is list a site; you critique it. But here’s the catch: to induce the most honest reactions, don’t leave the comment using your normal alias/login – instead, go anonymous, and be as brutally honest (or...

  • Poll Results; New Poll

    Poll Results; New Poll

    It seems most of us take scores from sites like Rotten Tomatoes into consideration for what films to watch, but they’re not the absolute deciding factor, which is what I assumed. I was surprised at the 27% who ignore them completely.

    Next, I want to know what your thoughts are on the recent Netflix price change. It seems to be a mixed bag of anger and apathy. What say you? Will you be keeping with Netflix all the way, dropping...

    Movie of the Month/LAMBcast #76: The Third Man

    Veteran LAMBcaster James was pushing hard for The Third Man to be the next MOTM for a few months now, and he finally got his way. The 1949 drama starring Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles is regularly included on lists of the best noir films and was voted in 1999 as the best British film of the 20th century by the BFI.

    For those unfamiliar with it, the plot synopsis from IMDb:

    “An out of work pulp fiction novelist, Holly...
