September continues to be a wasteland for interesting films, so there’s not much on the table this week. Check below for reviews of As Above/So Below and The November Man. As always, you can submit your own reviews in the forums.
FLASH! Aaaa-aaaaah!
Get ready for a lot of that on this show. Also, myriad Brian Blessed impressions and a riotous good time as the gang discuss the ridiculously sublime Flash Gordon. You see, a few weeks ago we held an International Character Actor draft. A lot of movies got brought up, but one more than the rest, Flash Gordon. Blessed, Dalton and Von Sydow were all discussed at length on that show, which I’m pretty sure...
This week we have two new releases. One is a YA adaptation and the other is a comic book sequel. Surprise, surprise. If you’re interested, here are the reviews for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For and If I Stay. Go check ’em out and don’t forget to have your input in the forums.

It’s a bit of a slow week for the LAMBScores as none of our three releases incited much fervor among our members. The lineup includes Frank, The Giver and The Expendables 3. Check out all the reviews below and don’t forget to join in at the forums.
The 90s are back in style if this week’s LAMBScores are any indication. Fans of Twister and pizza-obsessed reptiles may be feeling déjà vu with the release of Into the Storm and the latest reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If you’re not into those throwbacks then maybe you’ll be interested in What...
This week’s set of films is a fairly high profile bunch. First we have the latest Marvel hit Guardians of the Galaxy starring Chris Pratt. Next we have an awards hopeful in the form of Get On Up, a biopic about James Brown. Finally, we have some reviews of Calvary, the latest film by John...
Apologies for the delay in the LAMBScores (yours truly was away on vacation). No need to worry though, we’ll soon be back on track. This week we’ve got a number of new releases. Below you’ll find reviews for Lucy, Magic in the Moonlight, The Purge: Anarchy, Wish I Was Here, Hercules and Sex Tape. Go check ’em out and don’t...
The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
Another month has come and gone, and with it came a new Movie of the Month poll. Five very different films battled it out for supremity, but only once could win. And that film, is Flash Gordon.…
...We have just a handful of submissions for this installment of Classic Chops, focusing on classic musicals. Thanks to all who submitted.
Our next edition will be a Classic Chops free for all. You can submit any post related to any movie released before 1965. Reviews, actor retrospectives, profiles of a director…we want to see what you’ve got! Send your submissions to [email protected] by midnight on Sunday August...
There’s a lot of films in the world. A lot. Like, significantly more than a hundred. It’s pretty damn phenomenal then that two different LAMB members, who to their knowledge are not part of some paranormal cerebral link, submitted the same film for Movie of the Month, and that said film would win. Well, that’s what happened with Ghost World, Terry Zwigoff’s adaptation of Daniel Clowes’ cult graphic...
The film year is shaping up quite nicely as we have a new #1 LAMBScore for the 2nd week in row. Richard Linklater’s monumental film Boyhood has wowed the LAMBs with an abundance of perfect scores. It’s obviously the current must-see film, but our other new release is no slouch. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was also strongly reviewed and...
Hey! This is Shala from Life Between Films, film festival contributor for LAMB.

I hope to expand what is presented in this little corner of the LAMB site and make it something that all of you would love to read and participate in. Here is currently how you can be apart of ‘The Festival Experience’ with...
