In addition to Genre Grandeur, I run a feature 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 – 3 (0 Genre Grandeur Worthy)

BTW, next month’s Genre has been chosen by Catherine of All Things Sort and she has chosen the genre of Westerns set in the “old West” – so, exclude Contemporary Westerns i.e. No Country for Old Men, Hud, Desperado, Junior Bonner etc

Please get me your submissions by the 25th of Jan by sending them to oldwesterncat@movierob.net

Try to think out of the box! Great choice Catherine!

Since we are exactly 89 days before the 89th Annual Oscars on the 26th Feb, I decided to start two new series to coincide with the countdown to what will hopefully be a historic night.

I am now 31 days into both of my new series and loving doing them.

Keep an eye out for them!

Thanks again to one and all for your participation in all that I do here on this site!  Without you all, I wouldn’t be able to accomplish all that I have been able to over the past few years.

-Rob
