Genre Grandeur is another movie event, but unlike a blog-a-thon, the topics are not chosen by the host. Instead, MovieRob chooses a film blogger to pick a topic and a movie to write about…who then also picks a movie for the host to review.  At the end of the month, MovieRob posts the reviews of all the participants.
