  I’m pretty sure that was the lowest vote count of the round so far. Is it a weekend thing? But anyway, despite coming into the game late, R.L. Logan took the win by quite a large margin. Congrats! Similarly, this next round also includes a replacement contestant for somebody else that had to drop out. And we’re looking at the next western of the tournament, Once Upon a Time in the West. Read, vote, comment, enjoy! You have until...

  Sometimes we play serious games (LAMBpardy).  Sometime we get serious with our Movies of the Month.  Sometimes we get goofy with things like actor’s career drafts.  And sometimes we just like to talk about what we’ve been watching lately.  This is one of those times, as I was joined by Nick, Kai and Stevee to go over some of our recent viewings.

  Also on tap:

  * Rants and Raves of the Week
  * Last LAMB...

• SYTYCR Round 1.10: R.L. Logan VS. Kevin Smith (WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY)

  Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about! It really came down to the wire on this one, as Eyes Wide Open made a huge come-back and ended up tying the score right up to the end. And in the end, it was Eyes Wide Open who won it out by a single vote. Real underdog story there. Congrats! For the next battle, we’re skipping back a bit and hitting up the one we had to skip a while back. Since the skip, one of the contestants had to...

  I’ll be honest yet again… the results of that last battle shocked me. Not at the winner, but that it was such a decisive winner. I figured there would be much more of a battle there. Anyway, congrats goes out to Fox Mulder, who will move on to the next round! And we have officially made it halfway through Round 1! For this next battle, we move from classic to modern-day ‘eh’ with romantic comedy,

  Despite the gutsy move to give The Little Mermaid a negative review, it just wasn’t enough for Deems Taylor. So Botch Casually will move on to the next round. For this next battle, we’re looking at the second Hitchcock of the tournament, Rope. And I can say this with honesty: This is one of the battles I’ve been waiting for. I believe this will probably be one of the toughest ones to vote on (depending on...

For this next battle, we get the second animated flick of the tournament–Disney classic, The Little Mermaid. Read, vote, comment, enjoy! You have until Tuesday. NOTE: I totally...

  What a controversial battle! And a tight race there at the end! But in the end, in literally the last minutes before midnight, Dr. Richard Thornton came out on top by about 2 votes and will be moving on to Round 2! Congrats! And thank you to everybody who commented and critiqued, anonymously or otherwise. I do ask that you do not actually insult the contestants, however. Otherwise, great stuff. For today’s battle, I actually had to...

  I was kind of surprised to see much fewer votes this time around, especially for a more well-known, classic film. But it was still a decent turnout. Your Accomplice in the Wood Chipper moves on to the next round. As for this next battle… there are some special circumstances. The Movie Mugwump, for health reasons, had to pull out of the competition. I was unable to...

• SYTYCR Round 1.3: Your Accomplice… VS. Med School… (North By Northwest)

  (If you have no idea what this is, please click here and here.) Wow! I did not see that coming! The last battle was surely an interesting one! It was a tight race early on, and then it seemed The Crazy 88 had a pretty strong lead for quite a while and was going to easily win the battle. But then in the last few hours, Macaulay Connor caught up from behind and took the lead. And with a whopping total 54(!) votes, the second battle was...

  Hello and welcome to the first match-up of So You Think You Can Review?. I promise the rest of these won’t be so wordy, but I felt the need to do a bit of an introduction here. If this is your first time hearing of this tournament, please read this. Done? Good. All I’d like to add is that all contestants were randomly assigned spots on the list, and each match-up was assigned a movie at random (only checking to make sure they...
