Hello everyone and welcome to another year of Director’s Chair. This year, we’re starting off with a tribute to Penny Marshall.

Now Marshall got her start in acting, doing a few small appearances, and auditioning for a few big things, like All In The Family, but hit it big after...

2018 is OVER! Long live 2019!

For the annual look ahead to the next 12 months of movies, Jay was joined by Jeanette, DJ, Doug, newcomer Katy Rochelle from Oh So Geeky and eventually Tim to unveil the cinematic delights upon the popcorn-smeared horizon.

Thank you to Rob, Audrey, Aaron, Tony, Courtney, Richard and Nick for submitting messages for their most anticipated movies of 2019.

Hey everyone,

The rules are quite simple:

1. This contest is open to any interested bloggers.
2. To submit your predictions: Fill out this form with your predictions for the 21...

It’s the penultimate Lambscores of 2018, and as such we’re elbow-deep in both awards- and family blockbuster season, so there’s plenty of both for your perusal today. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Aquaman, Bumblebee, Second Act, Welcome to Marwen, Mary Poppins Returns, Mary Queen of Scots and The Favourite:

Pedro Almodóvar has made some incredible films, but this is the first time we’re exploring his work on the Lambcast. January’s Movie of the Month is Talk To Her, a gripping and powerful story of two hospitalised women and the men who care for them.

Jay and Richard were joined by the film’s champion, Rebecca Sharp, as well as Jessica Manzo and a Lambcast newcomer, Marya Gates. Also on tap: Rants, Raves...

2018 is over, but can a year really be said to have ended until the Lambcast posts its best of that year podcast? Whether you say yes or no, the point is here’s that show.

Jay and Richard were joined by Audrey, Courtney and Nick to not only rank their top films of the year but also discuss the cinema vs streaming debate and give some tips and tricks on how best to fall asleep in the cinema. Also thanks to Le Anne, Vern,...

Just like last August, we’re doing something a little different for February’s Movie of the Month. In fact, every other month will be themed in some way. As we celebrated Jay’s birthday in August last year, so this year we’re celebrating Richard’s birthday, and as such he has selected the range of films to choose for February’s Movie of the Month. The poll is at the bottom of the page, but first here are...

As you should already know by now, Rosamund Pike  is our actor of the month in the newly-revived Acting School 101 feature, being hosted by me, MovieRob. Alongside the monthly blogathon held here on the LAMB site, I will also be hosting a monthly podcast episode devoted to the actor and their roles, and wouldn’t you know it but that’s this very show here!

I was joined by Simon  from the Moustache Movie News to discuss all...

Three films this week. There’s The Mule and Mortal Engines, fine, but also Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, aka the third-highest rated film of 2018 according to the LAMB community! To say I couldn’t be happier that this film is getting ranked so highly would be a lie, as somehow it’s still being beaten by the thoroughly average A Star is Born, but I’ll just be happy that so many...

A few days ago we held a Bonus Lambcast episode in which twelve Lambcast regulars gathered together and competed to build teams of movies that will make the most money in 2019. Listen to it here! The results aren’t in yet, but we’re interested to see who you think is going to win. The rules were simple:
