Title: Which Mainstream Film Review Sites Do You Visit? Post by: Ash on September 08, 2008, 01:22:33 PM I'm not talking about B-movie or horror or sci-fi sites. I'm referring to mainstream sites such as www.filmcritic.com
Filmcritic.com is pretty good. They have several writers on staff who generally write some good reviews of all the newest and older movies. They also focus on DVD reviews as well. Another good one is www.filmthreat.com Film Threat is a little harder edged when it comes to their writing. The reviews are professional but expect to see some profanity occasionally sprinkled in. Not a lot of profanity, but the F-bomb or one of the other curse words are usually used if the movie was particularly bad. And of course, I have to mention Roger Ebert's site (http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage). I enjoy reading his reviews and also the weekly "Answer Man" column where people write in with questions. If you haven't seen it, check out his Little Movie Glossary (http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=GLOSSARY). It's hilarious. :smile: How about you? Which mainstream film review websites do you visit? Title: Re: Which Mainstream Film Review Sites Do You Visit? Post by: Rev.

Often I'll hit Rotten Tomatoes and read the capsules, clicking on the full review if the reviewer seems to have an interesting take. I'll always check out an Ebert review if he has one.
For less mainstream sites, I'll also check out anything by Ken Begg (http://jabootu.net/). And of course the webmasters here who post links to their reviews--I won't mention names for fear of leaving someone out. Title: Re: Which Mainstream Film Review Sites Do You Visit?

Title: Re: Which Mainstream Film Review Sites Do You Visit? Post by: Rev. Powell on September 09, 2008, 05:51:10 PM Mainstream? I had to look it up, but it turns out it's very popular. Who knew? :wink: Title: Re: Which Mainstream Film Review Sites Do You Visit? Post by: Scott on September 09, 2008, 10:44:40 PM Rotten Tomatoes for new film reviews and IMDB for older obscure titles.
