Other Movie Review Sites

The Movie Insider - Informational site with a whole bunch of stuff, including some reviews from yours truly.

The Movie Boy - Fellow OFCSer Dustin Putman is just a bit younger than I am, and I can say I'm insanely jealous.  Great reviews, great looking site.

Flipside Movie Emporium - Michael B. Scrutchin's brainchild includes reviews of major releases and some, well, lesser-known movies with titles like Sandy Hook Lingerie Party Massacre.

The UK Critic - Ian Waldron-Mantgani is, according to the his site, "Britain's most prominent internet film critic."  There's damn good reason.  Now just get writing again, Ian!

The Flick Filosopher - MaryAnn Johanson is, quite possibly, the funniest, cleverest, wittiest critic on the web. (She quotes me on this on her What Others Say page, so now I doubly love her.)

SPLICEDwire - Rob Blackwelder's site is full of insightful reviews and interviews with famous people. He's on hiatus and will hopefully be back soon.

Bucket Reviews - Danny Baldwin is back!  Read his well written (and sometimes politically charged) reviews.

MovieMartyr.com - Jeremy Heilman's movie madness site features reviews of current releases, classics, a screening log, and that weird out-of-100 rating scale that seems to be getting popular for some reason.  (Let us only hope he doesn't give into the growing and lazy rating-as-critique trend that the screening log phenomenon has inspired.)

The Cinematheque - How'd I miss this site before?  Nicely done.  Includes The Top 10 Project, an ambitious and continuing effort to chronicle the ten best films ever made by asking multiple important and knowledgeable sources--including myself for some reason.

Film and Felt - Gabe Leibowitz' (AKA, Aragorn Exley) review site.

Hollywood Chicago - Fellow CFCAer Adam Fendelman's site, full of news, reviews (film, DVD, TV, and theater), and interviews, all from a--you guessed it--Chicago perspective.

BigSPEEGS Movie Reviews - Evan Spigelman has taste and skilled writing abilities.  He hasn't written in years, though.

The Jujube - Reviews of new releases and spotlights on the classics.

The Critic Doctor - It took this long for someone to think of this idea?  I guess people love critics too much to say they disagree with what they have to say occasionally.

The Moose Hole - "The place for definitive movie reviews from the past and present."

Reel Cinema - Features reviews, trailers, wav files, and more.

Paul's Eye - "All in one blink."  Nice looking site with reviews.  Also includes automotive and sports sections, if you're into that kind of thing.

Agressive-Voice - "Where you come for movie reviews, not pop-up ads."  Well, now my site doesn't have pop-up ads, so there!

The Film Asylum - Home of Fantastical Cinema

The Log Book - News and reviews on movies, games, books, gadgets and more.

James Berardinelli's ReelViews - Very comprehensive site with lots of reviews from one of the senior online critics (in terms of longevity, not age).

Other Movie Resources

Rotten Tomatoes - A great resource to see what the majority of critics thought. Their Forums are great for some good film-related discussion with fellow moviegoers and critics (including myself).

Online Film Critics Society - "[T]he premiere international organization of film critics who post their printed movie reviews exclusively or primarily online."  How did I get in?  Check out the end-of-the-year Awards and some recent Press Releases, including the Top 100 Sci-Fi List, the Top 100 Villains List, and the Top 100 Animated Features (more will be coming).

Chicago Film Critics Association - The official website of the other professional critics' organization of which I'm a member.

Movie Review Query Engine - Looking for a review of a movie?  Just type in the title and see a whole bunch.

Littleman.com - A movie database with "a literal plethora of movie information!"

Find Movie Reviews - Here you'll find a pretty comprehensive list of film critics with links to their sites.

The Internet Movie Database - The place to find info about movies.

Your Movie Database - For movie fanatics to put together their top 20s and comment on other people's lists.  Here's my list.

Film Leaf - Message boards for new releases, general movie talk, and a featured director.

Wallywood - Take a look at the latest movies and then have some fun with some games, Ecards, and the most accurate movie mistakes area on the web.  Stick around and rate the films you've seen.

Allmovieportal.com - Movies, celebrities, and, you know, the usual.  Find links to trailers, official sites, and a lot of reviews.

AllMoviePhoto.com - Features static images from movies.

Amazon.com - The most popular place to buy DVDs, I think.

AllPosters.com - Lots of posters.

The Digital Bits - Great DVD news/reviews site.  They also have a book The Digital Bits Insider's Guide to DVD available.

DVDFile.com - The other great DVD news/reviews site.

Independent Filmmakers

Very Scary Productions - An independent digital filmmaker primarily specializing in the horror genre.

Shades of Day - An independent filmmaking site dedicated to making films "based on original stories and the masterpieces of the world literature..."

Random Insanity

RiffTrax - Do you miss "Mystery Science Theater 3000?"  I know I do.  Well, Mike Nelson and some of the "MST3K" cast is back.

Homestar Runner - "Everybody!  Everybody!"  Lots of immature (and really funny) stuff.  My favorite: The Fluffy Puff Commercial.  First time there?  Check out the introduction.

The Onion - Too funny.  And the A.V Club ain't too bad either.

Section 8 Studios - Flash cartoons and games (like Pimp's Quest and U.N. Weapons Inspector).  Fun stuff.

The Official Ninja Webpage: Real Ultimate Power - "Ninjas are cool, and by cool, I mean totally sweet."
