There is a new era of film criticism coming to Milwaukee. Last week was Duane Dudek's last day as film critic for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and they will no be replacing him. What does this mean? Well there will no longer be locally written movie reviews in the paper. There are plenty of places to go for written reviews. There is the for example The Milwaukee Record and Milwaukee Magazine have film reviewers. But there are also unpaid movie bloggers out there like us who do it because we love movies and love to talk about movies. While we would love to get paid to watch movies (always seemed like a dream job) that is not why we do it. The problem is it is hard to get your stuff read if you are just an unknown blogger. That is why I think it is time to band the local bloggers together so we can be recognized, get our reviews read, and improve our craft. So if you are a movie blogger or you know any bloggers make sure we know about your blog. As newspapers and magazines go away the local bloggers are where the future of film criticism is.
