Flixster is a great movie review community, but Twitter has become the new way to gauge the “buzz” on a film - based on the reactions of the people that you follow. I know that I have been influenced to see a movie (on more than one occasion) by a stream of positive “140 reviews.” And as we’ve seen before, these reviews can make or break a film at the box office as well.
The fflick website has done a brilliant job of aggregating Twitter reviews that you can search by movie or a stream of what your friends are saying. They have also creating a reasonably accurate sentiment engine (similar to Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic). I say “reasonably” because I think that Scott Pilgrim was an AWESOME film, but it is only getting 40% love according to the site. Of course a contextual sentiment system is never perfect, since the same film got 81% on Rotten Tomatoes and 69 on Metacritic.
You can also check out your own reviews (complete with poster art) by going to fflick.com/YourUsername#. If you are a movie buff like me, you’ve got to bookmark this one.
