Wyoming County Examiner Reviews
I am a freelance columnist for the Wyoming County Examiner. Every week I work on at least four to five 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. Occasionally I will be checking out a few throwback reviews that coincide with what other films I will be checking out for the Wyoming County Examiner - except for some series that I work on!
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!!!
