The OFCS is delighted to announce that Kim Voynar has been granted membership in the organization. Voynar’s reviews appear at MCN and Film Essent. Voynar says: After working for Cinematical since a month or so after its inception, I transitioned over to Movie City News in October 2008. I enjoy films of most genres, though I’m admittedly not crazy about cheesy rom-coms and I’ve only recently begun warming up to horror with a little hand-holding and guidance from horror-buff friends. I particularly enjoy foreign and independent fare, which is a good thing because I spend a good deal of time […]

Smith says: I began One Film Beyond in June 2008 after the prompting of friends and colleagues to create a site expressing my fascination with movies. I hope folks particularly enjoy the weekly “One Film Wonder” entries. Favorite films are always in flux but The Third Man, Ikiru, and The Road Warrior are never far from the top. I look forward to the dialogue and feedback from the OFCS membership. The OFCS welcomes Smith as a […]

the OFCS welcomes new member Tyler Foster
The OFCS is delighted to announce that Tyler Foster has been granted membership in the organization. Foster’s reviews appear at DVD Talk, Boxoffice, and The Following Preview. Foster says: I have been interested in movies since junior high, but it wasn’t until high school that I took a journalism class and decided I liked writing about film. I ended up as the Arts & Entertainment Editor of my high school (Kentwood Invictus) and college papers (Green River Current) for a combined 5 years before my editor at the time told me that I should only cover local material. I moved […]
the OFCS welcomes new member Marilyn Ferdinand
The OFCS is delighted to announce that Marilyn Ferdinand has been granted membership in the organization. Ferdinand’s reviews appear at Ferdy on Films, etc. and The Beachwood Reporter. Ferdinand says: Along with my blog partner, Roderick Heath, I maintain Ferdy on Films, etc., a film review and commentary blog dedicated to reviewing films from every corner of the globe, from silents to today’s hottest films. My goals as a film critic are to be accurate, engaging, informative, and ecumenical. I like to shine a light on those “offroad” films that may be overlooked, and I increasingly cover film festivals with […]
the OFCS welcomes new member William Goss
The OFCS is delighted to announce that William Goss has been granted membership in the organization. Goss’s reviews appear at eFilmCritic, Cinematical, Orlando Weekly, and Pajiba. Goss says: I’m relatively new to this game, having covered film steadily since 2005. I’m a fan of most any genre, or at least I’d like to think so, and, well, since we’re being honest here and all, I must confess to never taking much of a liking to popcorn. I know, weird, right? I hope that my membership in the OFCS adds credibility to my work, and that it may help me earn […]
the OFCS welcomes member Nathan Shumate
The OFCS is delighted to announce that Nathan Shumate, a former member, has been granted readmission into the organization. Shumate’s reviews appear at Cold Fusion Video Reviews. Shumate says: The subtitle of my site is “Sci-fi, Horror, and General Whoopass.” What I cover falls largely under the heading “genre cinema,” though I don’t always color within those lines. I also lean more toward the seldom-seen and under-reviewed instead of those movies for which you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a review. I look forward to being a charming gadfly in the OFCS, consistently demolishing the definition of “canon.” […]

the OFCS welcomes new member Paul Brenner
The OFCS is delighted to announce that Paul Brenner has been granted membership in the organization. Brenner’s reviews appear at Filmcritic.com. Brenner says: I have had a burning interest in cinema ever since I saw Jerry Lewis with a pith helmet and an elephant gun in Who’s Minding the Store? From that point on, my youth was misspent on watching everything from Won Ton Ton: The Dog Who Saved Hollywood to Weekend. My first film review was for F. for Fake and one thing led to another and I ended up receiving a Master’s degree in TV, Radio & Film […]

Bracken says: I’ve been an online film critic for over a decade now. I’ll watch and write about anything, but my area of expertise is horror cinema–from modern day slashers, Italian gore epics, zombie flicks, all the way back to the classics. I spent two seasons as The Horror Geek on Comedy Central’s pop culture game show Beat the Geeks and I currently run Thehorrorgeek.com. When not covering films online, I review movies for The Big O […]
