    Hey everyone! It’s Nick from The Cinematic Katzenjammer. The first edition of the Director’s Chair that I ran proved to be a bit more work than I thought, so instead of doing it every month, I’ll be doing one edition, then a few weeks break, and then another, if that makes sense. 

    Along with any...

    LAMBScores: Madea Solves Crimes with Toby the Demon

    On the slate this week is a few movies that don’t seem to be getting a lot of love this fall. First off, we see another adaptation of the John Patterson novels with Alex Cross, starring an out-of-fat-suit Tyler Perry. We are also “graced” with a fourth entry in an already obsolete franchise with Paranormal Activity...

    Happy Birthday to The Shepherd!

    This is a little out of the ordinary, but I felt the community needed to send some love Joel’s way, as he is, you know, The Shepherd of all the LAMBs. Unfortunately, Googling “shepherd” tends to result in only pictures of Jesus, and while Joel’s our own Swedish messiah, I decided on a picture of a German Shepherd with a birthday hat for the header picture.

    So here’s a quick mention to Mr. Joel...

    LAMBScores: Resurrecting a Pet with a Particular Set of Skills

    Here’s another edition of the LAMBScores, just in time for Halloween. Although Frankenweenie is the only film that’s really related to the holiday, I’m sure you can find something to be scared about when it comes to Taken 2. Throw in some teenage angst with The Perks of Being a Wallflower and America’s favorite...
