Wyoming County Examiner Reviews
I am a freelance columnist for the Wyoming County Examiner. Every week I work on at least three to four reviews a week for the Examiner. Spanning from first/second run films featured at the Dietrich Theater to film festival selections to special movie events. I will also be checking out some recent releases between 2015 to current that I have either missed or would want to re-visit. There will also be the occasional throwback review!
You can also catch up with everything on my Examiner Reviews Facebook and X (aka Twitter) pages, where I keep up to date with what I will be working on for the paper!
UPCOMING REVIEWS!!!
The anthology story follows three of the fiercest warriors in human history: a Viking raider guiding her young son on a bloody quest for revenge, a ninja in feudal Japan who turns against his Samurai brother in a brutal battle for succession, and a WWII pilot who takes to the sky to investigate an otherworldly threat to the Allied cause. But while all these warriors are killers in their own right, they are merely prey for their new opponent -- the ultimate killer of killers.
On this page, you will see the plot summaries and trailers of films that I will be reviewing for the Wyoming County Examiner. Each edition will consist of up to five reviews depending on my schedule!
