Jays 2025 Weekly Roundup

So I know we’re already a little into 2025, but like every year, the start of this year was overwhelming, I looked back on everything I watched and played last year, looked at what’s to come this year, and looked at all the projects I missed last year.

I’m a much bigger movie fan than a TV fan, I love TV but I sometimes struggle to commit to more long-form shows, or shows that require serious buy-in (looking at you LOST) so last year I set myself a challenge to catch up on some of the titans of T.V that I had missed. I was successful! I was amazed at how much I had missed, but I also realized having a full-time job, other hobbies, and watching 8 seasons of a show didn’t exactly mix well. In my newfound love for TV, I struggled to make time for movies. So this year I’ve set myself a rather unrealistic goal, and one I’m sure every novice reviewer has attempted. I am going to watch (& review) 5 movies or more every single week.

Now I’m an optimist, but I’m not an idiot. I’m not going to watch, and review a new movie every single day, I’d be sure to fail. At the end of every week, I’m going to post a round-up review of 4 of the movies I watched, a short and quick review all formed into one article. For my favorite movie of the week or the one most worth talking about, I’ll do a full-fledged review, this way if I am busy with life I still have time to catch up, I originally planned to do 7 a week, but maybe that’s for 2026! You’re probably thinking I failed already since it’s the 3rd week of January, i’ll be posthumously posting weeks 1 through 3 as I get through them, and when i’m caught up the newer reviews will be ‘Live’

I’ll be watching mostly new films, but I’ll sneak in a couple of re-watches and movies I never got to review the first time around. Come with me on this journey to (hopefully) over 260 movies this year.
