    LAMBCAST #382 SAVING PRIVATE RYAN MOTM

    With Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk just around the corner, this month’s Movie of the Month could well be considered a companion piece to it, as this week we’re delving into Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan.

    As the movie’s champion Rob led the discussion, and was joined by super fan and regular host Jay, relative newcomers to the film Jess and Damien, and absolute first-timer...

    The Movie of the Month for July 2017 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    The LAMB site wasn’t entirely active for much of this month’s voting period, so we had less votes than usual and to compensate, all the films that didn’t win will get another chance at the title next month, if their champions wish. Despite the technical issues there is still a very clear winner for this month, with the movie’s champion getting in a...

    Acting School 101 – July Introduction – Natalie Wood

    Welcome Back Students!

    Rob from MovieRob here!

    Like The Director’s Chair series being run by Tony, I think that this reignited series is a great way to get a look at what the members of the Lamb community think about the work of some of the most prolific actors/actresses who have been entertaining us all for so many years.

    I plan to try and focus on an actor or actress every month who has a birthday in that given...

    LAMBCAST #379 THE SPY WHO LOVED ME MOTM

    It’s Movie of the Month time again on the Lambcast, and for the second time we’re talking about a James Bond movie, in this case The Spy Who Loved Me, the 10th Bond film overall and the third to star the sadly departed Sir Roger Moore.

    Now when it comes to talking about Bond, surely nobody does it better that Aaron Neuwirth, the movie’s champion. He was joined by Richard Kirkham, Bubbawheat and Jay...

    Acting School 101 – June 2017 – Gene Wilder

    This month’s Acting School 101 teacher was Gene Wilder

    We received a total of 31 reviews for 17 films that Wilder had parts in.

    That’s quite an impressive amount for someone only having starred in only 22 films in his career.

    Let’s see what the members of the LAMB community thought of Wilder’s career:

    The Movie of the Month for June 2017 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    June’s Movie of the Month race saw a great deal of campaigning from at least three of the contenders. Damien, Kristen and Vern all fought tooth and nail to try and get either Breaking Away, My Girl or The Neon Demon to victory, but alas a great tragedy fell with the sad loss of Sir Roger Moore, so it was no surprise that the eventual winner...

    Hello everyone, it’s time again to reveal the director that will be highlighted for Director’s Chair and, since School of Rock was recently featured as Movie of the Month, I think now would be a perfect time to cover one of my favourite directors, Richard Linklater.
