Seek out a book called the Writer's Market at your local library. It is a list of all syndicates, magaines, & companies FSogol Jan 2024 #1

looking to publish things. Look under syndicates and find one looking for movie reviews.

This would have been better advice 20 years ago since publishers and magazines have been disappearing but will still get you the info you need. Don't buy a copy of the Writer's Market, it will be outdated by the time you get it.

Good luck.
