As most of you know Steve loved watching movies. It was one of the ways we kept in touch all year, always talking about what was coming out, what did you see, and so on. After Steve lost his battle with Muscular Dystrophy on Christmas Eve 2021, I have really pushed myself to watch movies the same way I used to. I'm Always looking for challenges to keep me motivated while looking for things we would have enjoyed together I decided to come up with my own challenge to honor Steve. We kept it simple and outlined some of the topics he would have loved.

The rules are simple: watch a movie that coincides with that week's theme. Feel free to be loose with the rules. If you miss a week that's ok nobody will be upset if you make it up the following week. The idea is simple: try something new, and think outside the box. That's what Steve and I did for each other.

The Back Story:
The rules:
Simple try and watch a movie that coincides with that week's theme. If you are not a fan of that style of movie for the week feel free to be loose with the rules. If you miss a week that's ok nobody will be upset you can make it up the following week. The idea is simple: try something new, think outside the box, and be open to a new cinema experience. That's what Steve and I did for each other. I definitely would push him to watch non-blockbuster movies as well as older movies and he would challenge me to the summer blockbuster and gangster flick. In the end, just have fun and enjoy good (or Bad) Cinema.
