    Lambscores: BlacKkKlansman, The Meg

    It probably says something about me that of today’s two movies I haven’t seen the critically acclaimed, historically significant and dramatically insightful BlacKkKlansman, but I have seen the movie where Jason Statham fights an old giant dinosaur shark. Hell, we even did a podcast on it. Judging by the reviews though I clearly made the wrong choice (regardless of how much fun I had watching The Meg). Anyway,...

    Director’s Chair Introduction: Ben Wheatley

    Send Features To: [email protected]

    Deadline:

    Hello everyone, it’s time to announce the director being highlighted for September and, since I saw Sightseers recently at the Screenplay Film Festival in Shetland, I thought it would be good to cover the films of Ben Wheatley.

    Now Wheatley got his start directing short films, viral videos and commercials, one of which he won...

    Lambscores: The Pooh Who Dumped Me

    Yes I’m proud of that title. Judge all you like. Given the reviews below, it may well be better than the two films we’re looking at this week. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Christopher Robin and The Spy Who Dumped Me:

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    We’re back to the usual format for September’s MOTM, and the usual method of winning – campaigning a lot – has won out again, and it has done so for one of our most winningest MOTM champions. There was a wide variety of movies pitched for September’s poll, but the winner is… Showgirls!…

    Lambscores: Teen: Titans – Fallout!

    Lambscores have been pretty mediocre-to-poor the past few weeks, but those days are behind us as today we’re looking at the latest and potentially best Mission: Impossible movie! Christopher McQuarrie has broken the chain of each new instalment having a unique director, but it’s difficult to complain when the results are this gripping. Also covered this week is Teen Titans Go! to the Movies, an animated DC film that’s...

    Acting School 101 – September Introduction – Mickey Rooney

    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...

    This month’s Acting School 101 teacher was Edward Norton.

    We received a total of 156 reviews for 19 films that Edward Norton had parts in.

    That’s quite an impressive amount.

    Let’s see what the members of the LAMB community thought of Edward Norton’s career:

    Lambscores: Equalizer 2: Here We Home Depot Again!

    Apparently it’s sequel week here at Lambscores, as today’s selection are the sequels to The Equalizer, a thoroughly underwhelming Denzel Washington action flick that should not have spawned Washington’s first sequel, and Mamma Mia, a film that features far more ABBA music than anything I ever want to encounter. As such I haven’t seen either of this week’s films, and I probably never will....
