• Genre Grandeur Reviews (Dystopian Movies) – 18  Thanks again to James for choosing such a great and diverse Genre for April

 

In addition to Genre Grandeur, I added a new feature recently called Genre Guesstimation where I review other movies in the monthly GG in order to see whether I think they deserve to be part of my favorites in the given genre!

• Genre Guesstimation Reviews – 6 (1 Genre Grandeur Worthy)

Thanks to all my loyal followers for helping make this all happen!

BTW,  Genre Grandeur for May (chosen by S.G.) will be fantasy/sci-fi animated movies (non-Disney or Pixar), so send me your review of your favorite one to animated@movierob.net before 25th May in order to take part!   Try to think out of the box!

Looking forward to seeing what you all have in mind!

I have also inaugurated a new feature this month called Temporal Top Ten and I will be presenting you all with my favorite movies from randomly chosen years.  To read more about this series, check it out here.  In April, I featured 15 top ten lists and I will continue to feature two new lists every week one on Friday and one on Saturday respectively

Hope you all enjoy it!

Have a great month!

-Rob
