Be a Warrior: A Seventh Grade Girl of Color Reviews A Wrinkle in Time

by Maya Youngblood-Smith on March 14, 2018 at 7:00AM

I loved that Meg's character is smart, strong and beautiful, because in other films I have seen, women and African American people do not often get to play those types of characters. Seeing this makes me feel like I can one day be in a film as a character that is smart, strong and beautiful like Meg.

Olson returned to Humboldt to work on Primal Rage, which filmed in our county for three weeks in 2015 and another three weeks in 2016. "The Bigfoot movie wasn't my idea but I was basically hired because they needed someone who knew the (Northern California) area," he says.

You can finally stop wondering what the hell is going on in that trippy Woodshock movie Kirsten Dunst filmed here in Humboldt two summers ago. On Saturday, Sept. 9, you can see it at a pair of special screenings at the Minor Theater, well ahead of the Sept. 29 regular local release. The Humboldt-Del Norte Film Commission, which hosts the showings with the theater, celebrates locals who worked on the movie at first showing at 6:30 p.m. with a catered, red carpet event for $30.

First Contact: Steven Paul Judd's Moving Pictures

There were some moving speeches and emotional twists at the Academy Awards on Sunday, Feb. 26, including Sara Bareilles' moving rendition of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now," performed during the In Memoriam montage of stars and industry greats who passed away in 2016. In case you missed it while microwaving more popcorn or hobnobbing at the Eureka Theater, the awards show's official website has the video posted for your viewing pleasure. A choked-up Jennifer Aniston introduced the Humboldt County native, who must be made of steel to hit those high notes with Prince, Gene Wilder and Carrie Fisher speaking softly from the big screen over her shoulder.
