    THE LAMB DEVOURS THE OSCARS 2018 ANNOUNCEMENT AND NOMINEES

    LAMB Devours The Oscars is here! It was a big success last year so it’s back for 2018!

That’s all 23 categories except Best Picture, with each of the NINE picture nominees receiving a dedicated post. You can do a...

  • The Movie of the Month for February 2018 is…

    The Movie of the Month for February 2018 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    The votes are in for the next Movie of the Month. It was a close call this month, with four movies all tied for first place for a long time, but a last minute run took two ahead of the pack, leaving the next winner to take the pole position by just one vote. So, for February 2018 the movie of the month is… Twelve Monkeys.…

    Acting School 101 – February Introduction – Joseph Gordon-Levitt

    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...

    Lambscores: The Last Bovine

    It’s not often that I give a film its lowest rating of all those submitted, but that’s the case this week with Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I didn’t hate it, but I also found precious little of it to be actually entertaining, and the rest – especially the first 90 minutes – was outright dull. Clearly I’m in the minority though, as one of the most-reviewed and definitely the most-seen film of the year...

    LAMBCAST #408: ISHTAR MOTM

    It’s January, the month where the studios seem to dump their non-awards-worthy fare, so instead of wasting your time listening to podcasts about bad movies, why not listen to us talk about… oh, darn, we’re discussing Ishtar. Sorry about that.

    Jay was joined by Ishtar‘s champion Richard, along with a panel ranging from bemused to annoyed, but made up of Rebecca, Sean and Chris.

    Director’s Chair Introduction: Werner Herzog

    Deadline: 3rd February

    Send Emails To: [email protected]

    Hello everyone and welcome to a new year of Director’s Chair and for the start of this new year, I thought I’d head towards Germany and highlight the films of probably the most insane director I’ve featured so far, Werner Herzog.

    Now Werner Herzog is a man not exactly known for taking things easy with...

    Lambscores: December’s Leftovers

    There’s no big new releases this week (only Just Getting Started, which frankly didn’t get started) so we’re using this opportunity to cover some of the smaller films that took a little longer to acquire more than 5 reviews, and that’s a good thing too, because two of this week’s movies have made their way onto the Top 10 list:

    As you should already know by now, Faye Dunaway 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!
