It’s the penultimate Lambscores of 2018, and as such we’re elbow-deep in both awards- and family blockbuster season, so there’s plenty of both for your perusal today. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Aquaman, Bumblebee, Second Act, Welcome to Marwen, Mary Poppins Returns, Mary Queen of Scots and The Favourite:

Pedro Almodóvar has made some incredible films, but this is the first time we’re exploring his work on the Lambcast. January’s Movie of the Month is Talk To Her, a gripping and powerful story of two hospitalised women and the men who care for them.
Jay and Richard were joined by the film’s champion, Rebecca Sharp, as well as Jessica Manzo and a Lambcast newcomer, Marya Gates. Also on tap: Rants, Raves...
Just like last August, we’re doing something a little different for February’s Movie of the Month. In fact, every other month will be themed in some way. As we celebrated Jay’s birthday in August last year, so this year we’re celebrating Richard’s birthday, and as such he has selected the range of films to choose for February’s Movie of the Month. The poll is at the bottom of the page, but first here are...
As you should already know by now, Rosamund Pike is our actor of the month in the newly-revived Acting School 101 feature, being hosted by me, MovieRob. Alongside the monthly blogathon held here on the LAMB site, I will also be hosting a monthly podcast episode devoted to the actor and their roles, and wouldn’t you know it but that’s this very show here!
I was joined by Simon from the Moustache Movie News to discuss all...
Three films this week. There’s The Mule and Mortal Engines, fine, but also Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, aka the third-highest rated film of 2018 according to the LAMB community! To say I couldn’t be happier that this film is getting ranked so highly would be a lie, as somehow it’s still being beaten by the thoroughly average A Star is Born, but I’ll just be happy that so many...
The problem with films being released directly to Netflix is they’re easy to forget when it comes to compiling these amalgamated posts, hence why we’re a little late getting to the round-up for The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. It wasn’t completely forgotten though, so here’s what the LAMB community had to say about the latest offering from the brothers Coen:
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
It’s almost a tradition at this point that January’s Movie of the Month winner is a film that’s, for some reason or another, deemed not great by most people. There have been exceptions, but just like with American cinemas January could be seen as a kind of dumping ground for films people don’t necessarily want to watch. Not so for January 2019! This...
The further this tournament has gone, the closer the results have been, but this has gotten ridiculous. The final results, between Die Hard and The Muppet Christmas Carol, were separated by just five votes. Richard and Simon both campaigned heavily, and some other LAMB members got involved too across Twitter and Facebook (due to an emergency and a technical issue the final could not be posted on Instagram), but of course...
From December 1st until Christmas Eve, here on the LAMB, we’ll be determining what is the BEST Christmas movie of all time. We’ve asked you all which films are the main contenders, and twenty-four of you replied with your choices, which will bauble battle it out for seasonal supremacy. It’s a head-to-head, single elimination tournament, so whichever film wins today moves onto the next round. However, here is not...
It was another close semi-final, this time between Home Alone and The Muppet Christmas Carol, but this time Kevin McCallister tried one trick too many, failing to impale Fozzie with a nail in the foot, hit Sam the Eagle in the face with a paint can, light the Swedish Chef’s hat on fire or cover Gonzo with glue and feathers (although something tells me he’d be into that). No, the Muppets took this one, so...
Oh, boy. It’s A Wonderful Life versus Die Hard. Potentially the greatest classic, traditional Christmas movie, facing off against the film at the centre of it’s own social media tradition debating whether or not it should even be in this discussion, but which many believe to be one of the greatest of all movies. However this turns out, people are going to be upset, and given that this poll received the most votes...
