Thanks again to Reut for choosing such a great and diverse Genre for July

 

In addition to Genre Grandeur, I added a 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 – 4 (1 Genre Grandeur Worthy)

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

BTW,  Genre Grandeur for August (chosen by Steven) will be Black & White Movies Prior to 1990, so send me your review of your favorite one to b&w@movierob.net before 25th August in order to take part!   Try to think out of the box!

Looking forward to seeing what you all have in mind!

Last month, I initiated a new feature where Darren of Movie Reviews 101 and I challenge each other every week to watch a movie of our choice that the other has never seen.

In July, I watched the following movies:

1. Odd Thomas (2013)
2. Duck Soup (1933)
3. Crash Reel, The (2013)
4. Love (2011)

of these movies, my favorite was The Crash Reel (2013)

Thanks Darren for recommending all of these for me 🙂

This month, I will be co-hosting the Argumentative August Blogathon with Ryan of Ten Stars or Less.  Keep an eye out for all 52 reviews!

Hope you all enjoy it!

Have a great month!

-Rob
