DOWNRIVER REVIEWS Second Annual Movie Awards

After a slow year of movie reviews, I'm back better and with more motivation than ever to deliver my thoughts on film throughout the year. So what better way than to every day moving forward release the Downriver Reviews nominations for the year of 2022, voted on by integral members that helped make this journey a thing to begin with. New categories include a wide TV net, not specific to genre just what was the best on TV this year, as that's an area I continue to grow my expertise a bit more in- as well as best acting categories in TV for the year.
