When the Movie of the Month show rolls around, we always hope for a gem, but sometimes we get a cubic zirconia. This month the guest list evaluating the film discovers a true jewel and happily dive into the discussion of the 2002 film “Hero”.
Heather Baxendale-Walsh championed this personal favorite to the winner’s circle and she enthusiastically sums up the story and draws attention to the aspects...
It’s time to vote for the next Movie of the Month! We’re back up to a healthy crop of five films to choose between, all submitted by LAMB members, and the winner will have an upcoming Lambcast episode dedicated to it! The poll is at the bottom of the page, but first here are the nominees:
Only Angels Have Wings (1939) [James Wilson, Blogging by...
It’s time to announce the next Movie of the Month winner! Another low number of submissions, coupled with the slow disintegration of the regular social media promotion areas led to a fairly low vote turnout, but one film received more votes than the other, and that means we have a winner. This month’s winner is Hero!
We don’t want to say that the summer has produced slim pickings for the MOTM, but this moth’s winner came from only three submissions and the August MOTM will be picked from two choices. All you Lambs on vacation, don’t forget to submit your choices early. That said, we lucked out that Mark Hofmeyer needed a film to chillax to after streaming through several franchises, and he found this 1990 action/sci-fi mashup for us to...
It’s time to vote for the next Movie of the Month! Another slim month with just two films to choose between, and for August the choices are films not primarily in the English language, so we’re heading to China with Hero or to Spain with Wrinkles. Whichever film wins the poll will have a Lambcast episode dedicated to it. The poll is at the bottom of the page, but first here are the...
It’s time to announce the next Movie of the Month winner! We eventually only had three films to choose between, and I don’t know if the voting pool is becoming more eclectic or we’re running out of well-known films, but for the second month in a row the film is a film I’d never heard of prior to it appearing in a MOTM poll! This month’s winner is I Come In...
It’s time to vote for the next Movie of the Month! It’s a slim month for offerings with only three films to choose between, but choose you must! The winning film will have an upcoming Lambcast episode dedicated to it. The poll is at the bottom of the page, but first here are the nominees:
I Come in Peace (aka Dark Angel) (1990) [Mark Hofmeyer, Movies, Films &...
“Mikey and Nicky” is the controversial third film from director Elaine May. It is a gangster film of sorts, but what it really concerns is the toxic relationship of two friends, and the complications that come from misplaced loyalty and long term connections. June is the MOTM that we specify that we want a film from a woman director and Elaine May is only the third woman to direct a Hollywood film in the sound era. Is this 1976...
It’s time to announce the next Movie of the Month winner! For June we hold a poll comprised of films from female directors, something we’ve done for a few years now, and for many of those years one film has been submitted repeatedly. As has been proven time and again, if you keep submitting a film, no matter how many juggernauts you submit it against, it will eventually win, and...
We lost our guest host at the last minute, but there were still four enthusiastic LAMBs ready to devour “Fantasia” and tell you what they thought of all of it and it’s individual parts. Bubbawheat remembered he was on this week’s show rather than last week’s. Howard Casner pitch hits for the Lambcast once again, and we kept Doug Jamison up till the wee hours of the morning so he could share his...
It’s time to vote for the next Movie of the Month! For June we traditionally hold a poll of films with female directors, and this year is o different. There are four films to choose between, all submitted by LAMB members, and the winning film will have an upcoming Lambcast episode dedicated to it. The poll is at the bottom of the page, but first here are the nominees:
Mikey and Nicky (1976)...
It’s time to announce the next Movie of the Month winner! Four films were submitted by LAMB members, votes were cast and a winner is to be crowned in easily the most lavish and monumental coronation ceremony occurring any time soon. It’s rare that really old films win the MOTM poll, and rarer still for the winner to be animated, but this month’s winner fits both of those...
