Can you believe it? The first month of the year is already over. Time sure does fly when you are having fun right? But with January now being a thing of the past (though I am pretty sure it will return next year), this means we now have a new month to get through. And a new month, means a new theme for my blog. In January I already let you know what that theme would be, namely science fiction and horror movies. But that’s also because I needed your help. You might recall that I asked you all to let me in on which movies you would like me to review. A lot of you gave me some awesome suggestions, and now the time has arrived to decide which ones would be the winners. So how did I set about in doing this? I of course consulted a number of the most scientific and inventive minds our world has to offer. Erm…sorry to disappoint but no, not really. Let’s find out how I did decide and then ofcourse which ones have made the cut so to speak.
Total Randomness
Now I did not really use rocketscience people. In fact it was all done in a very basic way. I made two lists from all of your comments, one for the horror movies, one for the science fiction movies. Each comment got a number, and after buying a random number generator from the Appstore, I let fate decide on the winners.
So….who has won? Well, let’s find out shall we?
And the winners are……(horrormovies)
The random number generator selected number 9 and number 14 from this list. Number 9 was a suggestion from Vinnieh and will go down in history as the oldest movie that I have ever reviewed on my blog: The Haunting from 1963. The second number, being 14 was a choice made by Shadowcat99 namely the Stephen King adaptation It from 1990.
And the winners are……(science fiction movies)
For the science fiction movielist we get two numbers that were next to each other. The first, number 22 was a suggestion by Bizarre Brunette the epic Pacific Rim. The number 21 that was selected next, was chosen by Dani being the Paul Verhoeven classic, Starship Troopers.
In closing
Congratulations to the winners! I hope that the reviews I’m going to write for your choices will live up to your expectations. And, each review will also as promised contain an honorable mention, which means a small promo from me about your blogs as a thank you for participating in this event. Just like last month, the theme will not be the only thing that is going to be happening on my blog. There will also be plenty of other content heading your way for some anime, another Korean dramaseries and hopefully a book review as well. I’m looking forward to another cool month of blogging. Thank you all for reading, see you around!

😎 It is cool. I had a hunch that you and I had the same taste in movies as well as anime. 😊 It is a hard one, IT, since it’s done the way it is. Did the person who posted the request mean both parts? Because you could always just do part one. I mean, the remake is only part one and that counts as one movie. And I’d say that the original part one would count as one movie as well. They are two movies and theoretically you can watch them as stand alone movies. At least the first one. Just a thought.

Well…erm it said It (1990 version). And looking at IMDB it also lists it as one thing…so…yeah.

aside from the Haunting, which I have not seen, all good choices. Thoroughly enjoy all of those movies. In fact, I kinda prefered the original IT to the Remake, if I am honest but on the other hand, they technically haven’t finished the story so maybe my opinion will change. As for Starship Troopers and Pacific Rim, two awesome movies and a crossover I would love to see…
LikeLiked by 2 people
Well, I still have to see the remake, but I have heard very different opinions on it all around. I’m looking forward to seeing the Haunting as I have never seen it myself, and it’s a fun change for me too as it’s been a while since I really saw a true classic film.
As for that crossover: that would really be such a terrific event. Who knows…these days anything can happen 😂😂

January certainly zoomed by. When it comes to random numbers I use Microsoft Excel. I imagine you can find websites that pick random numbers too.
