overview
From 2003-2006, I reviewed films for New Times, a publisher with 11 alternative weekly papers across the US. In February of 2006, New Times acquired Village Voice Media, adding 6 papers. A few months later, when New Times fired most of the Village Voice staff, I quit.

My reviews appeared in the following papers:

  • The Village Voice
  • LA Weekly
  • OC Weekly
  • SF Weekly
  • East Bay Express
  • Seattle Weekly
  • Phoenix New Times
  • Denver Westword
  • Dallas Observer
  • Houston Press
  • Kansas City Pitch
  • Minneapolis City Pages
  • Riverfront Times
  • Nashville Scene
  • Cleveland Scene
  • Miami New Times
  • Broward/Palm Beach New Times
