    Announcing Foreign Chops #16: Euro Horror

    Hey everyone. Robert from Sketchy Details back with another edition of Foreign Chops. I apologize for getting this up so late in the month. I got overwhelmed with work obligations and lost track of time. The timing is going to be different to compensate for my mistake.

    This month, we’re looking for your best reviews, write-ups, interviews, editorials, comics, what have you about European Horror films. It’s a wide open topic...

    LAMBCAST #185: WHATCHA BEEN WATCHIN’ LATELY?

    Dylan, Justin, Jason, Mette, and Bubbawheat gathered ’round the virtual campfire to do that ages-old tradition: talking about films that we’ve watched recently and have things to say about.  For some of us, it’s rewatching an old favorite, for others it’s talking up an underseen film in theaters now, for others it’s finally catching up with an old classic.  And then there’s Jason, who saw the film...

    THE MOTM FOR OCTOBER 2013 WILL BE…

    After last month’s destruction by, appropriately, Demolition Man, we were due for a change of pace, and boy did we get one.  We had quite the downturn in participation; after 137 votes last month, there were just 51 this month, but the upside of that is that we had an intense race.  It was so close, in fact, that the top three films were separated by a total of two votes, with Upstream Color winning with 14 votes,...

    LAMBScores: Close Getaway

    Last week I declared that we were already into the high quality fall season, but perhaps that statement was premature. This week’s releases are some of the worst reviewed films of the year. Check out what the LAMB members had to say about Closed Circuit and Getaway below and don’t forget to submit your reviews...

  • MOTM/LAMBCAST #184: DEMOLITION MAN

    MOTM/LAMBCAST #184: DEMOLITION MAN

    Is it a silly action flick with a quasi-serious message or a serious action flick made silly by two decades of aged cheese?  Is it really from 1993 or is it the last 80s film?  Is it live or is it Memorex?  These questions and many, many more surround the 1993 Stallone and Snipes showdown Demolition Man, a film that deals with the pain of being aware of the passage of 40 years whilst being able to experience nothing but that...

    LAMBScores: The Blue City’s End


    We’re clearly heading into the higher quality fall season as 3 films this week passed the 3.5 mark in the LAMBScores. It’s no surprise though, as these new releases include the latest from Woody Allen (Blue Jasmine) and Edgar Wright (The World’s End). We also have reviews for You’re Next and...

    LAMBCAST #183: ROLL YOUR OWN TOP 5

    If it’s time for a Roll Your Own Top 5 episode on the LAMBcast, you can be pretty certain that two things will occur: 1) Jason Soto will be present, and will probably be hosting; and 2) you’re going to get a diverse array of unpredictable lists.  Food.  Obscure horror 80s horror actresses.  Eggs.  Education.  Oh, and directors, just to have one that’s not too far off the beaten path, though when it’s delivered by...

    LAMBCAST #182: FRANCHISE LOOK-BACK – RAMBO

    Sad news: unless there’s enough interest next year (or later) for an Expendables look-back, this is likely to be the last franchise look-back featuring Sylvester Stallone.  After covering the Rocky franchise with the first one of these look-backs and now this (in addition to Demolition Man being the upcoming MOTM), you could say – and you’d be right – that the LAMBcast has more than had...
