BTW, next month’s Genre has been chosen by Ryan of Ten Stars or Less. We will be reviewing our favorite Boston Film(s).
According to Ryan’s research, this is probably the best list of movies set in Boston

Try to think out of the box! Great choice Ryan!
This month, I passed review #3000 this month, and ran another Movies From the Hat series. I had 51 choices from 51 different bloggers. Some of the films I loved, some were just ok and some were downright terrible (Mutant!!!!)
Thanks to everyone who participated and for those who missed out this time, let me know and I’ll make sure to contact you for the next one in a few months from now.
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.
Due to the Passover holiday, I will have a lower profile during April, but have posts scheduled for every day, including movie reviews and some other fun stuff!
