  • Lambscores: First Times at the Goosebumps Hotel

    Lambscores: First Times at the Goosebumps Hotel
    Three films for you this week: First Man, Bad Times at the El Royale and Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween. My personal favourite is the apparently under-rated Bad Times, which I loved (but not enough to write a review, evidently), but it seems the LAMB community, as usual, doesn’t agree with me. Here are everyone’s thoughts: First Man LAMB Average: 4.06 (16 sites) The Michigan Movie Guy (5) Surrender to the Void (5) Citizen Charlie...

    LAMBCAST #451: THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER MOTM
    Tension! Heated debates! Outright arguments! Yes, they’re all in the film, but they’re also all in this week’s podcast! Jay and Richard were joined by Simon, Will and Chris to discuss November’s Movie of the Month, The Hunt For Red October, which was a frequently-viewed classic for most, but a first-time watch for our usual host. Simon commandeered the helm for his first MOTM victory and leading the discussion underwater,...

    LAMBCAST Extra Portion #19: Acting School 101 – Sylvester Stallone ‘Reminder Post’
      As you should already know by now, Sylvester Stallone 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 Tony from Coog’s Reviews to discuss all thing...

  • Lambscores: A Star is Born like a Turd in the Wind

    Lambscores: A Star is Born like a Turd in the Wind
    We’ve got two films for you this week, and one of them has made it onto the top 10 of the year so far. More than that, it’s in the top spot, and I, for one, do not agree with that ranking. The film in question is A Star is Born, a film that in my opinion is utterly fine and nothing more. The Lambcast that featured a review on it (which I was unable to be on) featured a very discussion containing divided opinions, with two of the cast...

    Deadline: 24th November 2018 Send Entries To: [email protected] Hello everyone and welcome to another introduction post for Director’s Chair.

So while Rob is focusing on his efforts as an actor, I’ll be focusing on his efforts as a director. Now...

    Lambscores: Night School for Smallfeet
    Just two films this week, we’re in a smaller movie lull between Oscar-bait with a light comedy and a family animation, in which I’m reliably informed Zendaya plays Meechee. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Night School and Smallfoot: Smallfoot LAMB Average: 3.08 (6 sites) Mahan’s Media (4) Screen Zealots (3.5) Flickering Myth (3) The People’s Movies (3) Film Misery (2.5) The Seattle Times (2.5) Night...

    Acting School 101 – November 2018 Introduction – Sylvester Stallone
    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,...

  • The Movie of the Month for November 2018 is…

    The Movie of the Month for November 2018 is…
    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon! For November’s MOTM poll there were five films submitted, but it was really only a two horse race between the competitors undertaking the most campaigning. Those two were Simon and Rob with The Hunt For Red October and Trains, Planes and Automobiles. It was an incredibly close run but, the winner, by just three votes is… The Hunt For Red October!...

    Lambscores: The Nation With An Assassination In Itself
    Three films this week: one good, one bad, one entertaining but mediocre, nothing to really set the world alight. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Assassination Nation, The House With A Clock In Its Walls and Life Itself: Assassination Nation LAMB Average: 3.92 (6 sites) The Michigan Movie Guy (5) That Moment In (4.5) The Movie Waffler (4) Next Best Picture (4) Martin on Movies (3) Screen Zealots (3) The House With A Clock...
