This sounds like it is best suited for new releases, when you're looking to find out the social buzz about the film.

MRQE.com, the Movie Review Query Engine, launches Flicktweets.com, an
aggregator of real-time Twitter movie reviews*

* *

New York, NY – Has this happened to you?  You are standing in front of the
movie theatre, uncertain of what to see.  You’ve read all the reviews, but
the critics are all over the map.  Enter Flicktweets.com (
www.flicktweets.com).  Produced by MRQE.com, the Movie Review Query Engine (
www.mrqe.com), Flicktweets.com aggregates real-time movie reviews posted by
Twitterers.

Working on the premise that real-time movie reviews can, and do, help people
determine what movie to see as they are ready to see it, Flicktweets.com is
useful for both the undecided movie-goer, as well as movie studios
interested in tracking initial responses to their releases.* *Flicktweets.com
aggregates tweets for movies in the cinema, and for DVD/Blu-Ray releases.  A
search bar allows users to find tweets for any movie.

“Twitter is emerging as probably the most real time personal media ever, and
movies are one of the most popular subjects people tweet about,” says David
Larkin, Managing Director of MRQE.com.  “Flicktweets.com will be an up to
the minute resource for filmgoers and one we think will help them make
immediate decisions about movies to watch.”

Flicktweets.com can be viewed with a 3G mobile browser, and is compatible
with both the iPhone and the BlackBerry.  One does not need to be a Twitter
user to enjoy the site, but all are encouraged to add their own reviews by
signing up for a Twitter account.

Somehow I don't think my tastes in movies are too close to that of the average Twitter user  :teddyr:
