There’s a new feature coming to the LAMB! In a bid to increase the site’s interactive nature, we’re going to try and determine the BEST of things by means of a bracket, voted on by you, the glorious LAMB members and visitors, and we’re kicking things off with a festive fight to figure out the greatest Christmas movie! The one-on-one bracket battle will begin in December, with each day seeing a new clash until one...

We’ve got a treat for you this week! A bumper double-bill of podcasts looking at the entire Harry Potter saga, a franchise so full of fantastical fancies that it just had to be split across two shows, and they’re not exactly short ones either!

Jay was joined by Jeanette, Bubbawheat, newcomer James and returning Harry Potter trivia champion (no pressure) Rebecca to quarrel about Quidditch, lavish over...

Three films for you this week: First Man, Bad Times at the El Royale and Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween. My personal favourite is the apparently under-rated Bad Times, which I loved (but not enough to write a review, evidently), but it seems the LAMB community, as usual, doesn’t agree with me. Here are everyone’s thoughts:

First Man

Tension! Heated debates! Outright arguments! Yes, they’re all in the film, but they’re also all in this week’s podcast!

Jay and Richard were joined by Simon, Will and Chris to discuss November’s Movie of the Month, The Hunt For Red October, which was a frequently-viewed classic for most, but a first-time watch for our usual host. Simon commandeered the helm for his first MOTM victory and leading...

It’s time to vote for December’s Movie of the Month, Holiday Special! The poll is at the bottom of the page, but first, the contenders!

Meet Me In St. Louis (1944) [Amanda, Hollywood Consumer]

It’s A Wonderful Life (1946) [Rob, MovieRob]

Ernest Saves Christmas (1988) [Mark, Movies Films and Flix]

As you should already know by now, Sylvester Stallone 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 Tony from Coog’s Reviews to...

We’ve got two films for you this week, and one of them has made it onto the top 10 of the year so far. More than that, it’s in the top spot, and I, for one, do not agree with that ranking. The film in question is A Star is Born, a film that in my opinion is utterly fine and nothing more. The Lambcast that featured a review on it (which I was unable to be on) featured a very discussion containing divided opinions, with two...

I scream, you scream, we all scream for the Scream franchise!

This year’s Halloween-special, horror-centric month-capper is another franchise lookback, this time on the franchise you all voted to be the one we should cover this month, the Scream franchise! Four films of varying quality and one silly mask, all ready to be stabbed open and dissected by the crew. Jay and Richard were joined by a bumper crop...

Deadline: 24th November 2018

Hello everyone and welcome to another introduction post for Director’s Chair. Seeing as this month sees the release of Creed 2, me and Rob, who runs Acting School 101, have decided to focus on the same person this month, that person being Sylvester Stallone. So while Rob is focusing on his efforts as an actor,...

Hello everyone, it’s time to showcase the features you sent me for the films of David Cronenberg. Thanks to everyone who sent me pieces on Cronenberg’s films. Let’s not waste time and let’s dive into what you sent me:

Crimes of the Future/The Brood:

Shivers:

Rabid:

Just two films this week, we’re in a smaller movie lull between Oscar-bait with a light comedy and a family animation, in which I’m reliably informed Zendaya plays Meechee. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Night School and Smallfoot:

Smallfoot
LAMB Average: 3.08 (6 sites)

There’s a new Halloween movie! Technically it’s the 11th Halloween movie. Also it’s the second. And it has the same title as the first. And the ninth. Which apparently doesn’t exist any more. Confused? Then you need to listen to this week’s Lambcast!

Jay and Richard were joined by Amanda, Courtney and Robert to cut open the new movie with a terrifyingly large knife and a worrying...
