    LAMBScores: Resurgence of Uprising Model Shark Corpses

    Changes to the leader board again this week, with the “Farting Corpse Movie” proving far better than that high concept would have you believe. In fact, this week proves that a giant budget and flood of marketing doesn’t guarantee a great movie, as you could practically plot on a graph this week that the bigger the film, the worse the reviews. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about the recent major...

  • LAMBScores: A Little Fish And A Big Ocean

    LAMBScores: A Little Fish And A Big Ocean

    The LAMB is an international community, and somewhat annoyingly not all films get released at the same time worldwide (*cough* Snowpiercer *cough*). For the bigger releases there might be just a week’s difference, but here in the UK the films that really hurt me personally are the Pixar releases, which are often released over a month later than a lot of other countries, presumably to match up with the school holidays. As such...

    LAMBScores: Magic Video Game Adaptation: The Sequel

    You know what I’m getting sick of? Sequels. Every week the Lambscores posts are full of sequel after sequel, unoriginal adaptation after unoriginal adaptation. We need at least five reviews for a relatively fair ranking, so get out there and review the smaller films! Please! If only for my sake! Alas, this week we’ve got a horror sequel, a completely unwanted nonsense magic sequel and, sigh, a video game adaptation that’s...

Furthermore, the past two features I’ve done have been for...

    Director’s Chair: Satoshi Kon

    Once again, it’s time to round up posts on Director’s Chair. Now before I put them in I will say that I didn’t expect to get a lot of responses this time around. I’m glad that I was able to get some responses for this feature but I know that with Satoshi Kon and the last director I chose, Derek Jarman, I may have gone a bit too obscure with my choices. Let me say then that for the next few months, the directors that I...

    LAMBScores: Never Stop Me Before The Shadows

    This week’s releases aren’t exactly what could be described as “prestigious” but some of you found them entertaining and as far as I’m concerned that’s all that matters. This week we’ve reviewed Me Before You, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows and so far winning the best title of the year: Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. Here’s what the LAMB...
