It’s rare that one week of cinema brings with it three films I’d actually like to see – or at least, I wanted to see before the initial reviews came out. At the time of writing I’ve only seen one of this week’s crop (Logan Lucky, I recommend it) but Wind River sounds good and I thought The Hitman’s Bodyguard looked pretty entertaining before I heard opinions to the contrary....

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 Paul Walker.
We received a total of 106 reviews for 22 films that he 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 Paul’s career:

Well what do we have here? Could it be? A week with three well-reviewed films? Surely not! And one of them has even made it into the top 10? Who’d’ve thought? Well indeed it is so, as this week sees the collated reviews for Good Time, Ingrid Goes West and Annabelle: Creation for your perusing pleasure. Of course, it helps that not many reviews were submitted for The Glass Castle, and apparently no-one even saw The Nut Job 2: Nutty...
It’s Movie of the Month time once again, and this month we’re wading into the thick of it with a British/American political comedy, so what better way to discuss it than with a mix of British and American movie fans?
Jay was joined by In The Loop‘s champion and fellow Brit Tony to duke it out against Richard, Howard and newcomer to the LAMB and the Lambcast, Cameron.
Also on tap: Rants and Raves...

Hello everyone, it’s time again to announce the director that will be featured for this months Director’s Chair and this month, I’ve decided to go to Mexico so we’ll be covering one of the most respected Mexican filmmakers of the moment, Alfonso Cuaron.
Now Cuaron got his start working in...
Hello everyone, it’s time again to reveal what you thought of the films of Steven Soderbergh. Thanks to everyone who sent in features and it’s great to see what you thought of the films of Steven Soderbergh.

Movierob Joel Watches...Summer is, alas, drawing to a close, and sadly that means we’re starting to close out the films deemed unworthy of the tentpole release dates, and have been relegated to the dreaded August time slots. It’s not all doom and gloom though, with the lack of quality blockbusters some smaller gems poke through, which is exactly what happened with this week’s crop. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about The Dark...
As you should already know by now, Paul Walker (RIP) 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 Darren Lucas from Movie Reviews 101 to discuss all...
The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
As things will be recorded a little out of sync for the next few weeks, it’s time to announce October’s horror-special movie of the month winner, even though we’ve not yet posted September’s. Don’t worry about it, it’ll all get sorted out in due course, just go with it for now. There was an eclectic mix of 80s, 90s and very recent horror...
Given that David Leitch has so far directed or co-directed two established-star-goes-on-highly-stylised-killing-spree movies, I think we can imagine a fairly accurate template to predict what Deadpool 2 is going to be like, and that’s fine by me. This week’s Lambscores are just for one of Leitch’s movies, Atomic Blonde, here’s what the LAMB community had to say about it:

The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
Another month, another movie poll for that month’s movie of discussion. It was a fairly uneventful poll this month, with one film taking a slight lead and maintaining it throughout, but all the others performing admirably as competition. As such I’ll stop trying to jazz up the commentary and instead just reveal that for the month of September we’ll be...
