    Cult Chops (September) – Pre Code Hollywood

    For September we are heading back to the early days of cinema where during a brief period between the introduction of the first sound pictures in 1929 to the enforcement of the “Motion Picture Production Code” in 1934 there existed an era known as Pre-Code Hollywood. A wild time for cinema as films were produced including profanity, drug use, prostitution, infidelity and abortion, while it also produced films...

    Ozploitation – An Introduction

    It’s hard to imagine it now but at one point Australia was one of a small group of countries alongside Ethiopia and Iceland which didn’t have a film industry. Infact the only films being made were via studios outside of the country who came over to make classy pictures such as “Walkabout” or “Age of Consent”. Still thanks to the success of these films the Australian government’s eyes to the potential of Australia setting...

    LAMBScores: Florence Foster Jenkins, Sausage Party, Pete’s Dragon

    Three solid, middle-of-the-road films this week in terms of their collaborated review scores. Some people didn’t like them, some liked them a great deal, but on average it seems they’re all worth watching. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Florence Foster Jenkins, Sausage Party and Pete’s Dragon:

    LAMBScores: Suicide Squad

    Just one movie for you this week. Suicide Squad was such a hotly anticipated product that it seemed a wise decision for all the other studios to move their releases out of the way, except for the Kevin-Spacey-is-a-cat movie Nine Lives, but not enough people reviewed that, so we won’t discuss it any further. What we will do, though, is have a look at what everyone had to say about Suicide Squad:

    LAMBScores: Getting on Jason Bourne’s Nerves

    I remember in the lead-up to Jason Bourne‘s release there being a lot of excitement and fanfare – the plan had even been to dedicate a LAMBCast to it, potentially the full franchise, but the schedule didn’t work out. Then the fifth instalment in the series was released, apparently, and I managed to hear diddly-squat about it from anywhere which, judging by this week’s LAMBScores, is because it was largely...
