Helly everyone! As we are about halfway through the month of January, it’s time to reveal the upcoming theme for next month. As mentioned in my plans for this year, every month my blog will be focussing on a different theme, that will get just a little bit more attention than all the other stuff. And as you can see above in the big black capital letters that are kind of hard to miss, next month the theme will be Science Fiction and Horrormovies. So why reveal this now, and not wait until the end of the month? Well, because this time I’m going to ask you for a bit of help. No it’s nothing serious, you don’t need to do any heavy lifting or homework. So what am I asking exactly?
The help question and the rules.
Next month I want to do at least four reviews for movies that are suggested by you the readers. Yes you! So how exactly does this work?
- Leave a comment down below in this post for one or two movies that you would like me to watch and do a review for
- It has to be a science fiction and/or horrormovie
- It can be either an animated or live action movie, as long as it is in one of the categories that I mentioned
- You can leave a comment with your suggestions until the 25th of January
- I will then use a random number generator to pick four movies, two for each category
- The movies that are going to be reviewed will be revealed on the first post for February
- The bloggers whose choices got picked will get an honorable mention on my blog
Pretty simple and straightforward huh? I hope you will provide me with a few good suggestions, and of course thank you for the help. Looking forward to seeing what everyone is going to come up with!

Anyway, sorry if you’ve already done any of these!

Letting your readers / chance decide the movies is inspired, and BOLD! Event Horizon first came to my mind, since it combines both genres, but I know you already wrote about that. (Btw I still haven’t watched! Arggh). I like “Pitch Black,” as someone else suggested, for the same reason.
Hmm.. my contributions shall be: 1) Mr. Nobody (2009) or 2) Predestination (2014). Both films honor the notions of chance, free will / determinism, which this post got me thinking about.
