Great Movie Review Sites
If you’re in the mood for some great movie review sites, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve scoured the Internet, sacrificing precious hours that could’ve been dedicated to finding a cure for cancer. Instead, I put together this list of film sites, each one dedicated to providing unique insight into the motion pictures currently playing at your local theatre or available on DVD.
- Nurse Bob’s Film Reviews – This Vancouver resident and former healthcare worker delivers to-the-point reviews on over 200 films per year. The “Recent Reviews” section details the last 20 films he’s seen, and all the others are organized into an easy-to-use archive. The Vancouver International Film Festival is profiled each year, and more mature films like SS Hell Camp and Emanuelle in Bangkok are given their own section. As of this writing, recent reviews included Up, Duck, and The Curse of the Werewolf.
- 1 Minute Film Review – Rated on a scale from zero to five stars, these movie reviews will take less than a minute to read through. Perfect for film fans on the go, this site offers critiques of such diverse films as The White Ribbon, Overheard, and Law Abiding Citizen. There are no spoilers, either, so you can read without worrying about the ending being ruined for you.
- Dollar Bin Horror – Rhonny Reaper provides horror movie reviews for fans on a budget. Horror flicks available for only a dollar are reviewed, and the “Five Dolla Holla” looks at those that cost a bit more. The “Kisses and Disses” section offers both praise and criticism for those in the horror field, and Rhonny also serves up some horror lists for people who are into such things. If you’re searching for cheap horror thrills, you could do a whole lot worse.
- I Think, Therefore I Review – Kristin Battestella offers commentary on movies, television, books and music. Anyone looking for diverse criticism on a number of topics should find this blog an absolute delight. Recent reviews include G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and Patriot Games.
- The Good Movie Reviewer – Movies are rated from one to five stars, and horror and ultra-violent films are not included. However, if you’re looking for blockbusters, kids movies, independent films, or one of many other genres, The Good Movie Reviewer will have just what you’re looking for. For social networking freaks, you can also follow them on Twitter.
- What I Watched Last Night – Ross Williams usually watches one film per day (at least), and he decided to start writing down his thoughts about each and every one. This inevitably led to the creation of his blog, and you owe it to yourself to check it out. Fans of obscure cinema will be especially delighted, as Ross profiles such long-forgotten films as Breeders and Heavy Metal Parking Lot. There’s plenty of new stuff, as well, such as The Girlfriend Experience and Public Enemies. Those looking for brevity can follow Ross on Twitter.
- Monsters and Critics – This site offers a little bit of everything. The latest movie reviews are included, plus movie posters, movie trailers, competitions, archives and the current box office results in the United States and the United Kingdom.
- Rolling Stone – Peter Travers is one of the most respected names in the movie critic biz, and any list of great movie review sites should include his section on the Rolling Stone website.
- That Guy with the Glasses – Home of “5 Second Movies” and “Nostalgia Critic,” this site offers a wide array of podcasts, movie reviews, video game reviews, forums, blogs and articles. Dial-up users won’t be able to enjoy all the features, but everyone else will be in hog heaven.
- Best Movie Websites – While they don’t review movies, they do review the official websites for films. I had to include this because it’s so darned unique. Give it a look and let us know what you think. And in case you’re wondering, the best website honors for 2009 went to Terminator Salvation (too bad the movie wasn’t as good as the website).
Almost all of the films reviewed on these sites can be purchased through Amazon. I’d highly recommend it, as Amazon offers great prices and fast, reliable shipping. Even better, we get a small commission if you go there from our site. That’s not too much to ask, is it?
