There’s another race for mediocrity this week, with two new releases not critically setting the world aflame. First up is part three in a franchise I’m shocked completed a part one, Hotel Transylvania (though to be fair, I’ve not seen a single second of any of them), followed by a Die Hard knock-off that failed to reach the lofty heights its name might suggest. Here’s what the LAMB community had to...
OK, so it’s about snakes, and they’re on a plane and, well, yeah that’s about it really.
In an unprecedented turn of events Jay went all megalomaniacal shepherd on everyone and forbade any and all other Movie of the Month submissions for August, monopolising the board and only submitting films he wanted to see. The LAMB revolted and selected probably the film he was least excited for on the entire list,...
As you should already know by now, Edward Norton 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 Audrey from the 1001 Movies and...
There’s a horror prequel this week! Yay! Oh wait, that’s rarely a good thing. It’s OK though, as in addition to The First Purge we have the smallest big release of the year, Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp. International school and sports calendars have prevented a UK release until just a few hours ago (and indeed some countries have still yet to receive it), but it received a mostly global release a...

Hello everyone, it’s time to announce who the director will be for August’s Director’s Chair. Considering how there have been a few re-releases of films involving the music of The Beatles this year, the 50th anniversary re-release of Yellow Submarine and the recent re-release of Across the Universe, I...
Hello everyone, it’s time to showcase all the features you sent me on the films of Brad Bird. Thanks to everyone who sent pieces in. Let’s not waste any more time and dive right in.

It lost Denis Villeneuve, Roger Deakins and Emily Blunt, and subsequently dropped an entire Lambscore too. Here’s what the LAMB community thought about Sicario: Day of the Soldado:

Matthew Liedke on Film (4)
It’s widely known that Jurassic Park is the greatest movie ever made [citation needed], but that’s an accolade that cannot be heaped upon the franchise born in Henry Wu’s incubator. Some argue that the films have gotten progressively worse with each new release, others – like myself – believe Jurassic Park 3 was the nadir, and found Jurassic World to be rather enjoyable. What doesn’t seem...
Murder! Racism! Truman Capote! All this and more on the latest episode of the Lambcast!
This week we’re covering the latest movie of the month, which in this case is 1976’s Murder by Death, featuring a star-studded list of both actors and characters. Does the podcast make more sense than the film? Listen to find out as Jay and Richard are joined by the film’s champion, Sean, as well as Kellee and...
The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
There’s no surprise who the winning champion for August’s Movie of the Month is – it could only be me, as I banned anyone else from submitting films, as is my megalomaniacal way. No, the surprise this month is which of the ten films we’ll be discussing. I was going to be happy with whatever won, but I honestly didn’t think that, considering the...
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 Arnold Schwarzenegger.
We received a total of 183 reviews for 39 films that Arnold Schwarzenegger had parts in. Plus 10 general posts about his life and work.
That’s quite an impressive amount.
Let’s see what the members of the LAMB community thought of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s career:
