    Director’s Chair: Hayao Miyazaki

    Once again, it’s time to let you know about the posts that I have received for this months Director’s Chair feature on Hayao Miyazaki. Didn’t receive many posts this month, but I have enjoyed reading the ones I did get. So, without further ado, here are the pieces for the films of Hayao Miyazaki.

    Lambscores: GTFO

    It’s a good movie week! Yay! And by the sounds of it, this one is terrific. First-time feature director Jordan Peele (of Key and fame) has apparently knocked it out of the park with his debut, taking a far less comedic approach than expected. Given how much love this film has received there’s no surprise whatsoever that it has found it’s place at the top of the leaderboard, and I think it’ll take quite a bit...

    Lambscores: A Cure For The Great Wallness

    The high riding of last week is sadly behind us as we now embrace the true mediocre scores that come with diverse opinions. These are films that some people appreciated, others did not, and most people seemed to watch then walk away with a shrug and an “it’s OK.” Chances are they won’t be bothering most peoples’ Best Of 2017 lists, but they might just escape the Worst of lists too. Anyway, here’s what the...

    LAMBCAST #365 TIMECRIMES MOTM

    If there’s one thing we love talking about on the Lambcast, it’s time travel movies, so when Timecrimes won the latest Movie of the Month poll we couldn’t wait to discuss Nacho Vigalondo’s cult hit, and now you can listen to that discussion!

    Jay Cluitt was joined by the movie’s long-awaited champion, Jason Soto, along with time travel fans Robert Zerbe and Jess Manzo, plus self-confessed...

    Cult Chops – Anime

    Unquestionably in the last few years we have seen an explosion in the popularity of anime, be it through the whimsical magic of the films of Studio Ghibli or the directors like Quentin Tarantino recruiting studios such as Production IG to provide animated sequences for “Kill Bill Vol:1” the interest in Japanese animation has really never been higher.

    Despite being an industry which in 2014 was valued at around $13.5...

    Lambscores: Fifty United Lego John Wicks

    Everyone go ahead and breathe a huge sigh of relief, there’s actually some great movies being reviewed this week. Aside from the smaller release of A United Kingdom this week is nothing but sequels, with Fifty Shades Darker, John Wick: Chapter 2 and The Lego Batman Movie all collated together here. One of these films is currently my top film of the year, and I think it might take some amazing to beat it. Speaking of the top film of the...

    Lambscores: The Space Between the Rings

    Oof. There’s bad weeks and there’s bad weeks, and this is definitely at least one of those options. Not just oen but two movies rated below 1.5 LAMBs? Two 0.5 LAMBs reviews? Next week’s double-bill of Lego Batman and John Wick 2 can’t come quickly enough, so let’s get through today’s less-than-exciting offerings and hopefully next Friday will come along sooner. Here’s what the LAMB...

    Lambscores: Golden Toni

    This weekend comes with lots of awards excitement for both the people that love it – the Oscars are here! Finally! – and those who don’t – people will stop talking about the Oscars now! Finally! – so it’s not too disappointing that this week’s crop of films is a little lacklustre. Not enough reviews have been submitted for either Resident Evil: The Final Chapter or A Dog’s...
