    Lambscores: The Edge of Seventeen, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

    Two films this week, one an under-seen but apparently quite good teen comedy, the other a disappointing spin-off that will hopefully lead to more promising sequels. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about The Edge of Seventeen and Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them:

    Director’s Chair: Marjane Satrapi and Jafar Panahi

    Hello everyone, it’s once again time to show all the reviews I’ve been sent for the films of the Director’s in this months Director’s Chair. Now I knew that choosing Iranian directors would give me a lower number of reviews sent, I promise you that the next run of Director’s Chair will feature more recognisable directors. With that said, here are the reviews for the films of Marjane Satrapi and Jafar...

    Lambscores: The American Handmaiden’s Violent Moonlight Inferno

    The Lambscores leaderboard is being shaken up this week, with a flurry of smaller movies achieving enough reviews to be deemed worthy of collating. Two of the highest ranking films from the year – 10 Cloverfield Lane and The Lobster – have been knocked off the list by two other newcomers, Moonlight and The Handmaiden, meaning instead of having seen six of our Top 10, I’ve now only gotten...

    LAMBCAST #348 AND THEN THERE WERE NONE MOTM

    It’s Movie of the Month time again on the Lambcast, and for the month of November we’re looking at a largely forgotten 1945 Agatha Christie adaptation, And Then There Were None, which sees 10 strangers summoned to a secluded island by a mystery host, only to find themselves killed off one by one.

    Newcomer Sean Homrig championed the film, and was joined by Jeanette Ward, Lindsay Street and regular host Jay...
