What’s the deal with perfect ratings? How important should a potential partner’s taste in (and interest in) film be to you, the film lover and/or blogger? And seriously, what’s the deal with all the superhero fare in the 21st century? These topics and many more (ok, maybe not many more, but many more tangents, such as Jay’s usage of the term “move house”) are brought to the table in yet another...
Timing is everything! At least as it pertains to the selection of the Movie of the Month, it is. Justin of Man, I Love Films has attempted to wedge his love for Cocktail and/or Tom Cruise into several MOTM polls, and by waiting until the clamor to champion films died down, he nearly got his pick in without even needing a poll. As it was, Dan of Public Transportation Snob snuck in at the last second with an equally cheesy...
This week brings a trio of new releases to the LAMBScores. They include the time travel romcom About Time, elderly buddy comedy Last Vegas and yet another apocalyptic sci-fi Ender’s Game. Check out all the reviews below and don’t forget to have your say in the forums.
Pretty sure I haven’t seen an IMDb summary recently that makes the film it’s talking about sound much worse than this one:
“Billy and Sydney think they’re the best basketball hustlers in town, so when they join forces, nothing can stop them, except each other. To add to their problems, Billy owes money and is being chased by a pair of gangster types.“
White Men Can’t Jump,...
After last week’s record-breaking scores, there was nowhere to go but down. Indeed, this weeks releases couldn’t match up. The Counselor was widely perceived as a failure, while Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa also didn’t seem to inspire much interest. Click below to find out what the lammies had to say about these films and don’t...
“If you got a problem, yo, we’ll solve it.”
That’s the motto for the Ask the LAMB feature here, a segment that finds its host Jason Soto trolling Yahoo Answers for truly insane questions. It can bring some seriously credible answers from a wide variety of film bloggers. It can also bring some seriously funny answers. Occasionally, it does both.
And so, Jason brings to you the third edition of this...
Stop the Presses! We have a new record for the highest LAMBScore ever and that special film is…12 Years A Slave. Steve McQueen’s unflinching film has already thrilled the mainstream critics and now it has made its mark with our online community (almost a perfect score!). If you didn’t think it was an awards contender before, then think again. Films also featured...
If you’ve listened to the LAMBcast for any length of time, you’ve probably thought a time or two that your humble host Dylan hasn’t seen anything! Well, I’m here to tell you that that’s kind of by design – being the guy that picks the topics, I often use the show to fill my own gaps, particularly when it comes to these franchise look-backs. What better way to force myself (so to speak) into...
To be completely honest, an episode devoted to Machete‘s sequel was probably not needed. I put it on the schedule largely due to nostalgic reasons, as we had an early LAMBcast episode devoted to the first film that was great fun for all involved, and I figured that the participants of this show would perhaps have an equally good time with Robert Rodriguez’s grindhouse follow-up. Did they, and/or would you have a good...
We’ve got another strong week for you as the awards contenders continue to be rolled out through the fall/winter. This batch of new films includes a pair of action films from Paul Greengrass and Robert Rodriguez (Captain Phillips and Machete Kills respectively) along with a well-received romantic comedy...
Robert from Sketchy Details back with a new edition of Foreign Chops. The schedule just got so off (totally my fault, apologies all around) that it was just easier to wait for the start of a new month than try to cram in a second topic partway through October.
This month, we’re going to look at the cinema of South Korea. South Korean entertainment as a whole is really coming into its own on a global level. There’s even a...
Its official we are now six years old! Amazing how time flies isn’t it! …
