Welcome to this year’s Lion Awards. Over the next 10 days we’ll be celebrating the best of cinema for 2013, as voted on by the members of the LAMB. Here’s the lineup of awards, by order of announcement:
Best Documentary
Best Foreign Film (non-English)
For the 206th episode of the Lambcast we took a look at the latest remake to come out of Hollywood, Jose Padilha’s reboot of Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 sci-fi cult classic Robocop. Does it hold up to the original? Is Joel Kinnaman a decent Alex Murphy? Are Michael Keaton and Kevin Costner the same person? And, most importantly, will you buy it for a dollar? You’ll just have to listen to find out.
Host Jay Cluitt...

It’s been a while since we’ve had the chance to talk about a critically acclaimed film as the movie of the month, what with recent months delivering the likes of Timecop, Cocktail and Demolition Man, so it was something of a relief that, thanks to Will from Exploding Helicopter, we got to discuss Sam Peckinpah’s 1969 classic western The Wild Bunch.
It was only fitting that the most American of movie genres had...

Robert back again to announce a new edition of Foreign Chops. This month, we’re asking for your writing on French films. Reviews, interviews, retrospectives, articles–so long as the subject is films from France, we want to see it.
The history of French cinema is largely the history of film itself. From the invention of the commercial film projector to the crossover success of modern French films like The Artist,...

Robert back again with the results of Foreign Chops #19. I asked for your picks for the best non-English films released since 2000 and you delivered. There’s an incredible variety of films from all around the world to check out. Only three films were selected by more than one participant: Amour, Let the Right One In, and The Raid: Redemption.
I have to give a special shout out to YAM Magazine. They put...
A lot of movie podcasts have a regular feature in which they discuss the latest films they’ve seen. We don’t normally do that here; instead we just wait and dedicate an entire episode to it!
Technical and scheduling issues resulted in a three-man show, with host Jay Cluitt joined by Jason Soto and Todd Liebenow, but this resulted in a meandering discussion that took in everything from the early career of Hayden...

Happy Waitangi Day, everyone. We’re celebrating the cinematic output of New Zealand today. We’ve managed to cover most of Peter Jackson’s films (sorry, King Kong and The Lovely Bones, fans) and even a few films he had nothing to do with. Relax and read some great New Zealand film content today.
