FILM AND TV MANIA 
I see you’re from Long Island, where from? I live in Long Beach where I was born and raised. I’m also a fellow reviewer for Movieboozer.com. Stay in touch. How do you like writing for the site? I’m a fellow freelance writer myself. Ain’t it a hard life?
Hey Rob. Just seeing this comment now. Better late than never. I grew up In Huntington on Long Island. But been out in California for a while now. Doing time in Hollywood. haha Yes, I’ve seen your reviews on Movieboozer. Great coverage on some of the film festivals, etc. I like writing for the site. It makes me see a lot of wide release films that I’d never normally go to, as I tend to see more of the limited release ones. So it makes for interesting writing in that way. Most of the films I really like I never even get to review!
Hey Rob. Just seeing this comment now. Better late than never. I grew up in Huntington on Long Island. But been out in California for a while now, living in Hollywood. I like Movieboozer. It makes me see a lot of crappy wide release films I wouldn’t normally go to, but they lend themselves to some sarcastic writing so that’s good. I tend to like more limited release films myself. It definitely can be hard. What other sites do you write for?
