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 Aaron from the Code is Zeek to discuss all thing...

    Lambscores: A Kind Of Magic
    Just two films this week, a bit of a relief after the mammoth ordeal that was the recent Hodge-Podge post. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Bohemian Rhapsody and The Nutcracker and the Four Realms: Bohemian Rhapsody LAMB Average: 3.17 (15 sites) Kirkham A Movie A Day (4) Often Off Topic (4) Screen Zealots (4) Tinsel & Tine (4) CineMarvellous!

    Director’s Chair Introduction: Shane Black
    Deadline: 5th January 2019 Send Entries To: [email protected] Hello everyone, it’s time to announce the director that will be featured for December’s Director’s Chair and, seeing how it’s Christmas time, I thought it would be best to look at a director who has based most of his work around Christmas: Shane Black. Now Black first came to prominence as a writer, spending a few months at the start of his career...

    Lambscores: 2018 Hodge-Podge
    So this week’s film was supposed to be Hunter Killer, but given the only review submitted for that came from the Lambcast co-host Richard (find it here), I opted instead to dig through the forums for some of the smaller releases that took a little while longer to accrue the minimum of five submitted scores to be published. I figured this would be a quick job – after all, how many could there be? Evidently quite a few, hence why this...

    The Movie of the Month for December 2018 is…
    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon! For December’s MOTM poll we once again took a festive-themed diversion into primarily Christmas films, with a Hanukkah one thrown in for good measure this year too, and as with previous winners (Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Gremlins, Batman Returns), the winner isn’t a film that everybody might consider a holiday film, but which I’m sure we’ll debate the case for on the show....

    Acting School 101 – December 2018 Introduction – Denzel Washington
    Welcome Back Students! Rob from MovieRob here! Like The Director’s Chair series being run by Tony, I think that this reignited 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,...

    Acting School 101 – November 2018 – Sylvester Stallone
    This month’s Acting School 101 teacher was Sylvester Stallone. We received a total of 176 reviews for 42 films that Sylvester Stallone had parts in. Plus 2 general posts about his life and work.

    Lambscores: This is Halloween
    This is Halloween! This is Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Ahem, guess what film we’re covering on today’s Lambcast? That’s right, it’s the Halloween sequel released 40 years after the original, confusingly with the same name, and which wiped out all the other Halloween sequels from continuity, and speaking as someone who has only seen the now just two canon Halloween movies, I like this one more...
