    LAMBCAST #426: MIDNIGHT RUN MOTM

    Morons! Donuts! The Litmus Configuration! It’s time for Midnight Run!

    For the latest movie of the month Jay was joined by Todd, Richard, Sean and Will to discuss an ultimate so-called guys’ movie, Midnight Run!

    Also on tap: Rants and Raves of the Week, a new game, and a near-constant barrage of incredulity at people who haven’t seen classic movies or TV shows.

    We’ve got a pretty good selection for you this week: a bombastic smash ’em up video game adaptation, a throwaway horror with creepy faces and a delightful stop motion animation that’s one of my favourites of the year so far:

    LAMBCAST Extra Portion #13: Acting School 101 – Annette Bening ‘Reminder Post’

    As you should already know by now, Annette Bening 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!

    Lambscores: Blockers, Chappaquiddick, A Quiet Place

    Every so often when I’m compiling these weekly posts I’ll come across an apparently widely released movie starring actual famous people and with a half-decent critical score, but which I’ve never once heard of. Such is the case this week with Chappaquiddick. Apparently it had a trailer, stars Jason Clarke, Ed Helms, Kate Mara and Bruce Dern, and is at least watchable, but this also could be an incredibly elaborate...

    Director’s Chair Introduction: Jon Favreau

    Deadline: 2nd June 2018

    Send Entries To: [email protected]

    Hello everyone, it’s time to announce the director that will be highlighted for this month and, seeing how we’ve just had the release of Avengers: Infinity War, I thought it would be good to highlight the director that started off the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Jon Favreau.

    Now, Favreau is one of those...

    The Movie of the Month for May 2018 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    Once again it has been proven that, at least when it comes to the Movie of the Month poll, persistence certainly pays off, as this month’s winner is a film that has been put forward time and time again, and it has finally achieved the hallowed title of Movie of the Month! That’s right, for the month of May we’ll be talking about… Midnight...

    Lambscores: Ready Player One

    Just one movie for you this week, the latest from Spielberg, Ready Player One. On a personal note, this was my most anticipated movie for 2018, and yes I’m a little disappointed not everyone enjoyed it as much as me, and in fact I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as I’d hoped to, but it was liked enough to make it onto the Lambscores Top 10, if only temporarily. I wonder how long it will stay there! Anyway,...

    Lambscores: Pacific Rim: Unsaning

    Two films for you this week: the big-budget popcorn sequel to Pacific Rim and the no-budget shot-entirely-on-an-iPhone Unsane from Steven Soderbergh. I don’t know about you, but I for one would like to see an experiment where the production processes of these two movies was switched. What would Soderbergh do with a big pile of money when it came to shooting a very small film? And think of the ingenuity required to...

    Acting School 101 – May Introduction – Annette Bening

    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 Michelle Pfeiffer.

    We received a total of 113 reviews for 36 films that Michelle Pfeiffer had parts in.
