    LAMBSCORES: Late 2019 Hodge-Podge

    It’s been a while since the last Lambscores, life (and technical difficulties) got in the way a little but here we are. Some pretty big and well-regarded films have passed by, but today we’re looking at what the LAMB community had to say about them all. Here we go!

    Acting School 101 – December 2019 Introduction – Humphrey Bogart

    Rob from MovieRob here!

    Like The Director’s Chair series being run by Tony, I think that this series is a great way to get a look at what the members of the Lamb community think about the work of some of the most prolific actors/actresses who have been entertaining us all for so many years.

    I plan to try and focus on an actor or actress every month who has a birthday in that given calendar month.

    Obviously,...

    LAMBCAST #506 EYES WIDE SHUT MOTM

    It’s the LAMB’s 100th Movie of the Month! And the 3rd MOTM winner directed by Stanley Kubrick! And the 1st to feature an underground New York sex party (I think).

    The Movie of the Month for November 2019 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon! November is theme-free, so as usual a wide selection of films were submitted, but only one could win. For this November we’ll be tackling a film from a director who has won twice before with The Shining and 2001: A Space Odyssey, but this time around we’ll be discussing his last film… Eyes Wide Shut!

    Congratulations to Nick Rehak from French Toast...
