ST. LOUIS (AP) — The longtime movie critic for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch has died in a one-car accident.
The Post-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/1DIXAr9 ) reports that Joe Williams died Sunday night in Jefferson County, south of St. Louis. Williams, 56, was a graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism. He had been at the Post-Dispatch since 1997 and had been film critic since 2000.
“Joe had a love of movies that was infectious,” said Jody Mitori, assistant managing editor for features. “He loved to watch them, talk about them and share his opinions about them. Readers — and his editors — looked forward to seeing what Joe thought of the latest releases and how he would write about the films he loved, and the ones he didn’t.
