Hello and welcome to the one and only battle of the Semi-Finals. So let’s make it a good one and get some votes in here! I won’t keep you. Just gonna say we have Fox Mulder taking on Zelda’s Kid Sister on what is considered one of the worst video game adaptations of all time–Super Mario Bros. Read, vote, comment, enjoy! You have until Wednesday. And that’s when the Final Battle begins. There will be no...
It’s time for the semi-finals! There are only two battles this round. Well, one, technically. This post isn’t really a battle as much as a solo review due to no opponent. Like every other time this has happened, this post would normally just be up for a day before the next one went up. However, since weekend votes are always the lowest–and this is an American holiday weekend on top of that–this one will be newest just...
It was close for a little while, but in the end, Zelda’s Kid Sister took a big lead and kept it and will be moving on to the Semi-Finals! But now that the round is over, you know how it goes. It’s time to discover the Fallen Identities of this past round. Tomorrow will begin the Semi-Finals (which will be even shorter due to an auto-win for the first battle). So check out who didn’t make it and keep wondering who did. Let us...
What great reviews that last battle, huh? Congrats goes out to Fox Mulder, who moves on to the next round. But now it’s time for the final battle of Round 3! This next battle sees Zelda’s Kid Sister, who made it this far with her reviews of Eraserhead and The Exorcist. She faces off against Henry Swanson, who got here with Singin’ in the Rain and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Today they take on...
I’m not sure if you’re aware of this or not, but there are literally a crapton of possibly-excellent films (or, at the least, very anticipated) on the schedule for the rest of 2012. Fortunately for you, we here at the LAMBcast have an annual show on the schedule in which we look forward and count down just which ones make the “most anticipated” cut for us. So listen in as Nick, Sebastian, Dylan and two...
In the last couple hours, there was an influx in votes and Hayley almost took the win. But in the end, that went to Henry Swanson, who will be moving on to the next round. Congrats! Now Round 2 is over and, like in Round 1, it’s time to announce the identities of the Round 2 fallen. And tomorrow we will begin Round 3, which should only last about a week! So sit back, relax, and comment your reactions to those who are no longer in the...
Is it just me, or is it strange how the discussions of certain book-to-film adaptations seem to center on the quality of adaptation rather than the quality of film; that the act of the adaptation is so inseparable from the film that it’s impossible to ignore? Think about The Hunger Games recently, or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; although certainly not all film bloggers read these books prior to seeing the films, it does...
Finally got some more good voting and commenting! I don’t know if it was the controversy of the review or me threatening to discontinue the tournament… but either way, keep it up! And congrats to Zelda’s Kid Sister for winning and moving on to the next round! Now it’s time for the final battle of Round 2! We have Hayley, who won the first round with her review of The Room, facing off against Henry Swanson, who...
If we can’t get the voting back up to what it was before (though potentially without cheating), there might not be a version two of this down the road. Anyway, congrats to Kasper Gutman who won the battle and will be moving on to the third round! The next round has Zelda’s Kid Sister, who won in Round 1 with her review of Eraserhead, battling against Falkor, who moved through automatically, despite his incredibly...
I suppose that’s better than last time, but still really low–especially in comparison to the first two battles of this round (Hell, they’re both low even by Round 1 voting standards). Anyone care to share some thoughts as to why such a drastic decline in votes lately? Anyway, congrats on Fox Mulder for knocking that one out of the park. He’ll be moving on to the next round. Congrats! This battle will see...
What happened? Voting was low even by Round 1 standards. Was it the weekend? Hopefully things will pick up again. Well, congrats to The Honorary Swede who will be moving on to the next round. This battle will see Fox Mulder, who won the first round with his review of Rope, face off against Eyes Wide Open, who won his first round battle with his review of Maid in Manhattan. And what a transition, for today’s review battle...
I don’t want to oversell his participation or downplay the involvement of others on the show, but there’s something about the rarity of a Nolahn appearance on the LAMBcast that makes it a must-listen show. That something is actually probably two big somethings, one being his Steve Honeywell-like epic rants and the second actually being the subject of this show: his ability to make hilarious, off-kilter top five...
