This is a resource designed to help anyone looking for
a movie rental review. That is to say - 'what do you want
to watch this weekend?'. The sites here have been screened for their movie
rental review quality, and represent best of breed in their area of expertise,
depth, scope and usability.
http://www.mrqe.com This site lets
you search on the movie you're interested in, and provides, in many cases,
a long list of the movie reviews available for that movie by different publishers.
This site brings together an extensive amount of movie reviews. Even obscure
movie titles can have multiple reviews offered from different sources.
http://www.badmovies.org/movies/ You you are
a fan B-movies, bad or campy movies, this is the site for you. Much information
is readily available without annoying flash graphics. The trick is in finding
some of these movies for rent since they are not main stream productions and
are probably out of print.
Some of them sound so delightfully awful. There's
a lot more than just movie rental reviews. TV Shows, Bad Movie News, lots of
good stuff.
http://movies.go.com/reviews Plenty of movie
reviews. Click on the movie of choice for a synopsis, and then goto the Reviews
tab. From there, you can select the review for the movie from the publisher
of your choice. These are more main stream and current or recently released
movies. A scoring system is in place from the reviewers to rate the movie reviewed.
http://www.netflix.com Netflix - This is a terrific
site for a movie rental review. The movie reviews are written by regular people
just like you, rather than a stuffy professional movie reviewer who probably
prefers films with subtitles. You can look up a movie you like and follow links
to recommended movies of the same genre, and read each movie rental review.
If you are as frustrated with Block Busters costly mistakes as I was, Netflix
is a great way movie rental service too. In case you don't know how Netflix
works, here's an overview. Netflix is a monthly subscription service for X
number of DVD movies out at any time. You log on to the website, and fill your
queue with the movies you want. Netflix then starts sending each movie in your
queue, which you get to keep for as long as you want. Each movie Netflix sends
you comes in a paper envelope, with a return, postage paid envelope for you
to return. The next one in your queue will be the next movie Netflix sends
to you, and so on.
http://www.amazon.com - Amazon can be a very
good resource for movie rental reviews, although Amazon is not a movie rental
service. Many of the movies offered for sale on Amazon are reviewed by customers,
not a stuffy professional movie reviewer. You can read the reviews, and then
make your rental at your usual place - or go ahead and buy the DVD from Amazon.
