I’m not entirely sure, but I think the remake of The Magnificent Seven might have been better if at least one of the eponymous protectors was an animated talking stork. I think the very least that should happen is someone should make this movie, just so we can find out. For the time being, here’s what the LAMB community had to say about both of these movies:
The Magnificent Seven
It’s October, so once again the Lambcast is devoting most of the month to horror, starting out with another horror-themed Movie of the Month and, as is tradition, it went in a completely unexpected direction as this week we’re talking about the 1966 British “classic” Carry On Screaming.
Joining Jay Cluitt is Carry On… superfan Rebecca Sharp and bemused newbie Kristen Lopez to discuss the...
It’s time to vote for the next Movie of the Month! You can vote at the bottom of the page. but first here’s the list of candidates:

“Cult Chops” a monthly feature where each month we will be looking at a different genre of cult cinema as well as key actors and directors who established their legacies directing films from these genres
September saw the LAMB Members heading back to a golden and arguably wilder time for Hollywood as we dedicated the month to Pre-code Hollywood, here’s what they had to say
Forgotten...Everyone breathe a sigh of relief, my plane didn’t land on the Hudson River last week, or any other body of water for that matter, and to celebrate we’re looking at three movies with fairly mixed reviews, none of which I’ve got any plans to watch any time soon as they are either a part of a franchise I’ve never paid any attention to, a found footage horror or are about Edward Snowden:
Bridget...
Well Elwood’s been doing an awesome job with his Cult Chops posts, but I’ve really dropped the ball on the regular Chops feature. So, let’s try to get things going again. October is always a good time to roll out the old Horror Chops! After all, so many LAMB members spend this month focusing on horror.
What we need from you is links to your posts, reviews, lists, podcasts…anything related to horror films....
As I write this, it’s a little terrifying that this week’s main movie is Sully, the true story of the pilot who successfully landed the plane on the Hudson River, and tomorrow I’ll be flying home on a plane, that will hopefully have a much less interesting landing. Also collated together this week are reviews of The Mechanic: Resurrection, which fills me with a whole different kind of fear, one of a future...

Hello everyone. It’s once again time to introduce the director that will be covered for the month in Director’s Chair and, considering that it’s Halloween this month, I can think of no better person to cover for this month than John Carpenter. Being involved in numerous aspects of the film industry, not...
Hello everyone, once again it’s time to reveal your thoughts on the directors I’ve chosen for this month. This month, I decided to do a triple selection of directors, all involved in stop motion, to celebrate the release of Kubo and the Two Strings, those directors all representing different styles of stop motion, the directors being Nick Park, Henry Selick and Jan Svankmajer. Didn’t get many responses for this month but I...
Only two movies for you this week, so I’m using this opportunity to catch up on some smaller releases from earlier in the year, which didn’t have enough reviews at the time, but do now. So instead of just Morgan and The Light Between Oceans, here’s the LAMB community’s take on eleven 2016 releases, enjoy!:
Hunt for the Wilderpeople

Just because Jay is away, doesn’t mean the show can’t go on! And this week it’s time for the latest Movie of the Month, looking at the great Cool Hand Luke!
Kristen Lopez takes her first turn in the hosting chair, and is joined by Richard Kirkham, Jess Manzo, Jeanette Ward and the movie’s champion Joe Guiliano to discuss whether Cool Hand Luke truly is a “guy’s movie”,...
It’s safe to say that the giant summer movie season is well and truly finished for another year, and I don’t know about you but I’m fairly relieved, given how disappointing many of those glossy tent-poles turned out to be. Now we’re in the lull of lower expectations before autumn’s awards-hungry scramble begins, which means some of this week’s releases – Mechanic: Resurrection and Hands...
