The Year of the Sequel: Grizzly II: The Revenge or The Predator or The Concert Or This Should Have Stayed Forgotten (1983/1987/2020)

 George Clooney had a falling out with the bear a while ago, don't ask him about it.When Steven and I took our trip through the Year of the Knockoff a couple of years ago, we had a lot of fun discovering what popular trends studios were trying to chase and capitalize off of.

The Year of Cannon: Death Wish V: The Face of Death! (1994)

No Budget. No Enthusiasm. No Grenade Launchers. No Fun. This post is a bit of cheat.

Das Wish is AUGE! I know, I know. I fell on my keys after having a pretty good track record of writing up a blog post once a month. I hope to get back on track as I made a promise to myself that I would write a post for every 'Year of' film that we do. I know you all were going through 'badly worded and spelled thoughts about movies most no one cares about' withdrawals. Well, I am here...
