Every year I try to watch at least one new-to-me movie a week. Every year I underperform that goal. This year I made it a little over halfway with 32 movies in the 52 weeks of 2025!
(These reviews will probably be a sentence or two long, since it’s been a while since I’ve seen some of these movies–except for the ones I have BIG opinions on (looking at you, Blues Brothers 2000)).

Continue ReadingOne of my favorite hobbies is going onto IMDB and looking at the posters for upcoming movies and TV. Sometimes I’ll find something that I’m interested in, and I’ll add it to my watchlist. That’s what happened with Weston Razooli’s debut Riddle of Fire.

Last year, I made it a goal to try and watch one new movie a week–I had been falling back into my old comfort watches, and I figured if I’m going to be making and writing movies in the future, watching The Blue Brothers for the millionth time probably wouldn’t be much help.
However, I quickly lost momentum with that goal, as work and then moving really got in the way. This year, I’m giving myself the goal again and planning to follow through with it. 52 weeks in the year, 52 movies. That’s a pretty good goal, yeah?

This was at a point in my college career where I very lost in terms of my future and career plans (still am frankly), and that hesitancy and fear (along with having to re-train myself to be social again after many, many months of Zoom classes) reflected in my writing. This assignment was called “The Long Form Essay.” After weeks of writer’s block, I came up with my topic–an analysis of one of my favorite films, Frances Ha.

I have a confession to make…I am a nerd. I watched Star Trek religiously in middle school and high school when The Original Series was on Netflix, I have piles and piles of books I need to read, as well as many video games taking up storage space on my PS4. Do these things automatically make me a nerd? Maybe, or maybe it’s the attitude toward stereotypically nerd things.
I also play Dungeons and Dragons. Well, I try to. They say one of the biggest enemies in DnD is not the dungeons ordragons, but scheduling and conflicts. Needless to say, I’m still well aware of the game and was still super excited for Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

After the movie theater I worked at closed down, my mind went to Ashland Street Cinemas, another movie theater that had a close connection to a community. It sadly closed down in the beginning of 2021. In my first article for that year when writing for the Siskiyou, I wrote about how much the theater had impacted the community, especially the college students who frequented it. Original article can be found here.
