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...
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...

Hello everyone and welcome to another introduction post for Director’s Chair. Seeing as this month sees the release of Creed 2, me and Rob, who runs Acting School 101, have decided to focus on the same person this month, that person being Sylvester Stallone. So while Rob is focusing on his efforts as an actor,...
Hello everyone, it’s time to showcase the features you sent me for the films of David Cronenberg. Thanks to everyone who sent me pieces on Cronenberg’s films. Let’s not waste time and let’s dive into what you sent me:

I Think,...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:

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...
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...
This month’s Acting School 101 teacher was Jeff Goldblum.
We received a total of 182 reviews for 29 films that Jeff Goldblum had parts in.
Let’s see what the members of the LAMB community thought of Jeff Goldblum’s career:
Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1)
MovieRob
Annie Hall (3)

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

The Michigan Movie Guy (5)

It’s time for the some horror over on the Lambcast!
Traditionally the run up to Halloween is dedicated to horror films and franchise here at the LAMB, and that’s no different this year with our horror-themed Movie of the Month. This time around the original 1963 version of The Haunting is our focus, with its champion Howard Casner taking his first seat in the MOTM host chair. He’s joined by Sean, Tony,...
It’s never a good sign when a low-ranked film has a lot of reviews, as it generally means a lot of people were looking forward to something, made plans to see it and cared enough to put fingers to keyboard and write a review, but that it just wasn’t good. Alas that’s the case this week with one of my most anticipated films of the year, Shane Black’s The Predator, which under-performed with critics to a...
