    LAMB Casting: The Colour Purple
    Hey there, this is Andrew from Encore’s World of Film & TV with a new episode of LAMB Casting. It’s a special episode of sorts this week.

    REMINDER: Pitch the LAMB

    Hello, CS of Big Thoughts From A Small Mind here to remind you all about the March edition of Pitch the LAMB

    LAMB Casting Doubt: The Results
    When Doubt came out in 2008 the panel was pretty much split down the middle, it seemed. Half seemed to love Meryl’s Aloysius giving it endless best of citations and the other half hated using Cherry Jones apparently atypical incarnation. I’ve never seen the lovely Jones on stage, so I can’t accredit the latter. I wasn’t too fond of Streep in Doubt. She was fine, but I hated her take on the character. In fact as someone...

    Pitch the LAMB: To Infinity and Beyond
    The first Pitch the LAMB of the year sparked a fair bit of interest but only one actual submission. Several people remarked that writing plots for Science Fiction films just was not their thing. Hopefully March’s Pitch the LAMB will spark the creative juices a little more. Anyways, on to the submission: Big Thoughts From A Small Mind offers up “Kopera“…...

    LAMB Casting: Doubt Pt. 2

    Andrew here, from Encore’s World of Film & TV. I’m very late with this, but I’ve had a hectic week – which is no excuse but (shrugs) it is what it is. As usual I’m not revealing who the competitors were, but this week the lineup was very interesting. Six of you decided to recast 2008’s Awards hit of sorts and I’d rather watch each of these films than the actual cast…and I liked...
