Film review sites

Apart from the usual Yahoo and what not, what sites do people frequent for movies? I don't really follow movies that much but now and then I want to get a movie review and can never really find some from credible sources.

The Internet Movie Database

Rotten Tomatoes

I dont read any sites but i listen to the Mark Kermode podcast. He's always fairly entertaining. There's an archive on the BBC website which you can find particular reviews too.

...another vote for IMDB. Just don't go on the boards there!

Empire online is generally a safe bet.

If you can force yourself to ignore 90ies geocities web page design techniques and 800x600 386 laptop font sizes Ain't It Cool News has pretty good writeups...

True, lots of people who are looking for slagging/ 'my e-penis is bigger than yours' types.

www.metacritic.com

Is also worth a look. It rounds up the reviews from a number of different sites and magazines. Does games, tv and music too

As you safe it's a safe bet generally, however Empire's let me down a few times though:

Reeker An hour and a half of my life that I'll never get back. :mad:

IMDB is good for info, stay the hell away from the forums though, they're full of absolute morons, although it can be good for a laugh
