    Lambscores: The Shape of Disaster

    We’ve had a few weeks of so-called “lesser” movies, but this week we’ve got something special – not just one but two new movies that have both made their way onto the Top 10 Films of the Year! Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about The Shape of Water and The Disaster Artist:

  • The Movie of the Month for January 2018 is…

    The Movie of the Month for January 2018 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    There have been a few exceptions, but traditionally – an unintentionally – the Movie Of The Month for January is often a film not widely regarded as being critically, um, good. Whether that is the case for January 2018 is yet to be determined, but for now let’s say that if the film turns out to be terrible, I for one won’t be all that surprised....

    Acting School 101 – January Introduction – Faye Dunaway

    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...

    Acting School 101 – December 2017 – Samuel L. Jackson

    This month’s Acting School 101 teacher was Samuel L. Jackson.

    We received a total of 360 reviews for 64 films that Samuel L. Jackson had parts in. Plus 1 general post about his life and work.

    That’s quite an impressive amount.

    Let’s see what the members of the LAMB community thought of Samuel L. Jackson’s career:

    Lambscores: Family Christmas on the Train to Ebbing, MI

    This week was almost a write-off. Last week, I announced that the next Lambscores would look at Murder on the Orient Express, Daddy’s Home 2 and A Bad Mom’s Christmas, the latter of which I’d missed covering a couple of weeks earlier. I compiled the scores and links, but it was a thoroughly underwhelming and unimpressive list of movies. Then, however, I checked to see what next week’s films...
