LAMB Chops (for the week ending Feb. 26)

With the LAMB growing to almost 50 sites, it's high time we take a weekly look at some of the best posts from the last week from our impressive, highly diverse group. I'm going to kick it off this week, but in the future, I'd like to get your thoughts on which posts (not from your site) should be the LAMB Chops for the given week. So, if you'd like to nominate anyone for the week of February 27 - March 4, please send me an email with the subject "LAMB Chops nomination."

As this progresses, perhaps we can start thinking widgets and/or any other ways to publicize these posts - I'm open to your ideas for this and any other LAMB projects (I'm specifically looking for cool alternatives to presenting the posts; I'm not sure I like the format you see below). For now, here are the Chops for February 20 - 26 (in no particular order).

To read the particular post that's been Chopped, just click on the picture.

Spaghetti Sauce and Sweet Peas has some words for Ethan Coen.











Ferdy on Films' Rod Heath breaks down the history of the Best Picture (previously posted here on the LAMB).











The Center Seat counts down the best moments from Sunday's Academy Awards.









I'm cheating as this was posted on the 19th, but Dave's Movie Reviews takes an in-depth look at Run Lola Run (one of my favorites) as part of it's Foreign Film February.









Karlhungus.com has had it with anti-pirates (anti-piracy ads, that is).

LAMB #28 - Dave’s Movie Reviews

URL: http://www.davesmoviereviews.com

Site Name: Dave’s Movie Reviews

What is the main focus of your site (reviews, editorials, news, lists, etc.)?
At Dave’s Movie Reviews I focus on reviews, but also have a section called Deeper Thoughts that focuses on the deeper meanings or philosophy of films.

What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
Dave’s Movie Reviews was started with the intent to share my passion for movies with others. I would love to build DMR up to more than just a review blog. It’s current goal is just to provide good reviews and discussion about movies with later goals being to host people’s videos in an all movie environment. This would allow others that are interested in good movies the chance to share their work and critique others.

Do you prefer an interactive 'community' for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers are the students?
The more interaction Dave’s Movie Reviews can be the better. We can all learn from each other whether this is the first time we have seen a movie or whether we have a film degree and have watched thousands of movies.

How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
Dave’s Movies Reviews was started in June of 2007 and on a typical week I have 4-7 updates.

Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
Braveheart, The Saint, and Amelie.

How did you hear about the LAMB?
Blogging around I came across a great site called Blog Cabins, which is the first time I heard about LAMB. I was not sure what it was at first, but once I found out I thought that there would be nothing better than to join a group of movie bloggers. We can all help grow the community that way.

Any additional comments.
None.
