Last week I was busy at the New York Film Festival, so this post will be combined with last week’s scheduled scores. We therefore have no less than 5 new releases on the slate. These films represent almost all the genres – comedy (The Family), drama (The Spectacular Now), horror (Insidious: Chapter 2), thriller (Prisoners), and even some F1 action (Rush). There’s something for everyone and 3 of them even made the LAMBScores Top 10! Enjoy this week’s reviews and don’t forget to submit yours in the forums for the next edition of the LAMBScores.
