Quick Quirksplanation

Hello hello! Don't worry, there's not going to be a delay on today's review.  In fact, I'm writing it right after this, since I'm actually making decent time for once.  Before that, though, I just want to give a quick explanation for what has thus far been a quirk of this year's list of movies.  A "quirksplanation," if you will.

So you may have noticed that several of the movies featured on this list have been sequels, or otherwise part of a series.  The reason for that is that I've been doing these lists on my own every year since 2014  Therefore, this year's list was made and pretty much finalized before I ever decided to start a blog, much less write a review for each movie.

Each year I try not to put more than one movie from a particular series on the list, except in special circumstances.  So what you're seeing is the effects of me working on some of these series for multiple years now.  I watched The Omen (the original) last year, for instance, so this year we got Damien: Omen II.  Continuing that trend, we'll most likely see Omen 3 next year.  On the other hand, we got Friday the 13th this year, so we'll probably get Part II next year.

I bring all this up because today's movie is a sequel, and it isn't the last one this month.  I anticipate around three more sequels in the coming days, although one of them gets by on a technicality, since it's directly preceded by its original.  One of the others, though, is actually part 3 in a series, so sorry if that's a problem.

I understand that it can be exclusive to review the sequel to a movie you haven't seen, but may want to watch.  It would be a bit better, I guess, if I had a review up for the ones that came before it, but this is Blogtober: Year One, so that isn't the case.  Going forward this year, and if we're still going next year (I would very much like to be), I'm going to continue making the list this way.  That is to say, building from previous lists, sequels to movies we saw the year before.  If this is a problem for you, I do genuinely apologize for that.  I want everyone to feel like they can be involved, but I ultimately have to make the list based around what I'm interested in seeing.

I have some plans for ways I could maybe fill in those blank spots, possibly reviewing them at other times of the year, but I'm not making any promises.  For now we're going to steam ahead as-is, and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do.

I'll have today's review up and ready to read in just a couple of hours, so stay tuned for that.

Until next time!
