I’ve been reviewing film since 1970. I started with a Midwestern newspaper, the Quad City Times, and moved on into digital reviewing for 3 blogs in 2003. The largest is The Movie Blog.com,---3rd in size online--- but you’ll also find my reviews up on my own blog Weekly Wilson (.com), just like this program. Check it out. It’s been around since 2007, so you’ll find new and old topics involving politics, movies, travel and things of local interest.
