    Lambscores: Ouija: Never Go Back

    There’s a bit of a disappointing turn-out for this week’s films, but I get the feeling that’s more due to the lacklustre nature of the films up for review than anything else. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about a couple of sequels, Ouija: Origin of Evil and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back:

    Cult Chops (November) – Carsploitation
    Hey folks,

    So it’s a new month which means its time for a new Cult Chops theme and in November the car is the star as we look at “Carsploitation” movies. Simply put if the car is the main focus of the film, being shot with an over fetishist like eye or it features a large amount of cars being smashed you have a movie from this genre. A mainstay of 70’s and 80’s American and Australian cinema, it faded away...

    The Movie of the Month for November 2016 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    It was another tight race this month for three contenders who presumably did a great deal of championing for their films. Ex Machina did well, and Timecrimes almost took it, so Kristen Lopez and Jason Soto should certainly be inclined to try again some other month, but the winning film for November is… And Then There Were None.…

    Lambscores: The Birth on the Train

    This week we’re looking at two films which both had a great deal of buzz around them early on, be it from the festival circuit or being an adaptation of the latest must-read thriller (personally, I’d say your fine not to read it, I was underwhelmed), but which both ran into stumbling problems when they hit the general public. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about The Birth Of A Nation and The Girl On The...

    Lambscores: Deepwater Horizon, Queen Peregrine’s Deepwater Dress-making Fraternity

    Five films for you this week, ranging from very small releases about chess and hazing to blockbusters about oil rig explosions and floating children, plus a Kate Winslet drama that frankly I didn’t much care for. Here’s what the LAMB community has to say:
