Celebrate St. Patrick's Day at The LAMB

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day at The LAMB

The next call for the new national holiday series is up at The LAMB. We’re asking LAMB members to submit their writing on Irish films. Since the industry is comparably small to other subjects I’ve hosted at The LAMB in the past year or so, I’m also accepting films shot in Ireland.

Interesting point from my research into the cinema of Ireland: did you know The Land Before Time was created in Ireland? And that one animation studio is responsible for everything from An American Tail to The Pebble and the Penguin? It’s true. I’m going to have to hunt down a copy of All Dogs Go to Heaven to write about for the deadline this Sunday.

Foreign Chops #19: Best of the 2000s

Foreign Chops #19: Best of the 2000s

Foreign Chops #19: Best of the 2000sAny chance I get to speak the good word of The Happiness of the Katakuris is a chance I’ll take. The new edition of Foreign Chops is up and it was a whole lot of fun to put together. I asked LAMB members to submit their choices for the best non-English films since 2000 and they delivered. Only three films–Amour, Let the Right One In, and The Raid: Redemption–appeared in multiple submissions. Every other title was heralded one time as the best of the best of global cinema. I have so many films to catch up on.
