On this edition of the LAMBScores we’ve got two brand new releases. The first (A Most Violent Year) was an Oscar hopeful during the recent awards season, while the other one (Project Almanac) would probably better suited to the Razzies. Check out the reviews below.
The Oscars are still fresh in our memories, and it’s been a while since we’ve done an actor draft, so this week on the Lambcast we’re pairing those two things together and having a draft involving two well-remembered Oscar winners, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
Host Robert Zerbe was joined by Dylan Fields, DJ Valentine, Kristen Lopez and Nolahn to each draft a team of movies featuring either or...
The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
This month there were only three submissions for potential Movies of the Month, with A Hard Day’s Night, No Country For Old Men and the director’s cut of Legend being submitted. Only one of these has been submitted before, and wouldn’t you know it, it only went and won. That’s right, the Movie of the Month for March is A...
Every year, the movie world congregates to launch awards and plaudits at the most prestigious (or pretentious) films from the past 12 months, and every year we here at the Lambcast get together to try and guess what’s going to happen.
Jay Cluitt and Robert Zerbe were joined by DJ, Shane and David to look at the nominees and potential winners of the awards for Screenplay, Acting, Directing and Picture, with lots of debates...
Well folks, we’ve finally hit the January-February wasteland at the box office. This week’s new releases Cake and The Boy Next Door failed to garner much excitement from the lammies. Check out their reviews below.
Last year we celebrated the 30th anniversary of 1984 with out 1984 Movie Draft. 30 years ago from this year, 1985 didn’t have such a wealth of releases, but it did have The Goonies, which just so happens to be February’s Movie of the Month.
Host Jay Cluitt was joined by regular Lambcast co-host and Goonies champion Robert Zerbe as well as Pat McDonnell, Will Slater and Nick Rehak, all of whom had varying...
We’ve got a bunch of hot titles this week on the LAMBScores, whether by virtue of their quality or the talent involved. There’s Clint Eastwood’s latest film American Sniper, surprise critical darling Paddington, Julianne Moore’s Oscar vehicle Still Alice, Kevin Hart’s...
A few months ago we put out a poll for you to vote on who we should do Director Retrospectives on. This show is the fruit of that labour, as one of the highest scoring directors was Paul Thomas Anderson, director of Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love, There Will Be Blood, The Master and, most recently, Inherent Vice.
Jay Cluitt and Robert Zerbe were joined by Lindsay Street, Courtney Small and newcomer...
We’re well into 2015 with February fast approaching, but December’s awards season contenders are still dominating the box office conversation. This week’s pair of new releases – Selma and Inherent Vice - have a total of 4 Oscar nominations between them. Find out below if the lammies agreed with the Academy and don’t forget...
It’s Lambpardy time again! Yay!
Returning champion Todd Liebenow gets his first shot at defending his title from the newcomers trying to steal it. Today’s competitors are The Vern, a former unsuccessful Lambpardy contestant, and Elwood Jones, a complete newbie to the game, with Jay Cluitt on hosting duties.
Will Todd successfully retain his crown? Will Elwood learn the rules before the end of the games?...

Yep, Dylan and I were definitely on the same page.
Vote on the Affleck/Damon Draft Poll!

I didn't want to slag on anyone's picks in my commentary, but the biggest stunner to me was actually Dogma in the first round. I love Dogma, think it's an underrated satire, and would have happily picked it... in round 3.

Your roster is damn strong. I don't care for Chasing Amy, but it was a no-brainer pick at that point. The only reason I shied away from Saving Private Ryan and True Grit is that I don't think of those as "Matt Damon movies"... and even then, I'd grab True Grit over Contagion if I could do it over again.

DJ, your list was the best, and the main reason was The Bourne Ultimatum. I also liked Dylan and Nolahn's teams. They just needed a little more depth.

I think it makes more sense than you give it credit for. I'm not gonna go pick by pick, but I think the general thinking was to get (good) films that prominently featured one or both of them first. And sure - Damon might be 4th or 5th-most prominent in O11, but it's still an ensemble and there are still good films that star one or the other that went first. If it was "just take the best movie!," something like Private Ryan would go first. As for you and Rounders and Shakes in Love - it's clear to me that you're just anti-American. :D
