Three movies for you this week. Dunkirk, as you might have guessed, is quite rightfully receiving a great deal of praise, and I couldn’t be happier about that. It’s now #2 on our leaderboard for the year, so hurrah! There’s also good news for the apparently-much-better-than-Rough-Night Girls Trip, so yay! The third movie is Valerian, and it’s perhaps one of the most divisive films of...

Hello everyone, just sending out a reminder that I’m still looking for pieces by you on the work of Steven Soderbergh, along with a quick announcement of a change for this month. Since I was delayed in putting up this reminder, along with allowing more time for you to send in any pieces you’ve done on Logan...
There’s been a murder! Several, in fact, and someone on this very podcast did it…
Fear not, there’s no detective work required to seek out this show, in which we covered the most recent movie of the month, arguably the greatest board game adaptation yet, Clue.

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 Sean Connery.
We received a total of 77 reviews for 34 films that Sean Connery had parts in. Plus 2 general posts about James Bond
That’s quite an impressive amount.
Let’s see what the members of the LAMB community thought of Sean Connery’s career:

Before anyone says anything about the post title, I know that monkeys and apes are different things, but when there’s a simian-centric movie out the same week as a be-careful-what-you-wish-for horror, well there’s only one direction I’m going in pun-wise. So without further ado, here’s what the LAMB community had to say about War For The Planet Of The Apes and Wish Upon:
War For...

Two very different movies for you this week. One is a big superhero sequel/reboot that could well be the best entry within its franchise, and the other predominantly features Casey Affleck wearing a sheet, and includes an interminably slow scene in which Rooney Mara eats a pie. I know which one I’d rather watch. Here’s what the LAMB community has to say about Spider-Man: Homecoming and A Ghost Story:
As you should already know by now, Sean Connery 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!

Hello everyone, it’s time again to announce the director that will be covered for this months Director’s Chair and, seeing how he’s coming out of retirement this month with Logan Lucky, I thought now would be the perfect time to cover Steven Soderbergh.
Now very few directors were as influential as...
The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
It was a tough battle for supremacy this month, with pretty much every champion campaigning heavily for their chosen film to win the poll. Throughout almost the entirety of the voting period there was one film just in the lead, whose campaigner was going above and beyond on the leg work, and had the votes been closed 2 days earlier than they ultimately were then Vern would...
