Moviegram – Before I go out to the cinema (or stay in, DVD collection at the ready), I’m quite meticulous about only seeing films I know have overall good scores on my various reviews sites (Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, IMDB). All these sites combine ratings by industry critics and regular joes to give an overall picture of how good a movie is. And Moviegram combines them all. So if you’re a review follower like me… you’ve just found a new fave, my friend!

If We Don’t, Remember Me – This unique Tumblr blog offers motion images (movie GIFs) taken from famous classic films. What I love about these moving images is that they never cease to surprise and intrigue. Here are a few examples:
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
Anyclip – I can’t even remember the number of times I searched the Web for a certain moment in a film I’ve seen, in an effort to recapture that memorable script line or background song. It’s not impossible to do, but let’s face it, it’s not easy and you’d have to dedicate much time and effort to find exactly that particular moment in the film. Anyclip is here to make our lives much easier, offering high quality clips that play back smoothly. Above all, Anyclip allows you to search for any moment in the film.
Anyclip is not just another scene finder -you can use YouTube for that even though you will have rather limited scene selection. Anyclip also offers music identification for that specific moment in the movie you’re after, in addition to the clothes brands characters wore at that moment. These two features alone make Anyclip absolutely amazing in my opinion. In addition, the platform labels every conversation in its movie database to make it simple for you to find lines you found inspiring, even if these aren’t the signature quotes everyone else associates with the film.
Search for your favorite movie moment by providing the title, names of actors or the film’s director. And now, please give a big round of applause to my favorite moment in The Big Lebowski (directed by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen 1998), of the bowler Jesus. I apologize for not embedding the video right here – Anyclip had some issues with their embed option for this particular segment.
One Life – Aside from being one the world’s leading news providers, BBC is also well known for its natural world and wildlife series and films. One Life is yet another beautifully shot film about planet Earth and its rich diversity of organisms and ecosystems. Brought to us by BBC Earth, the One Life website is the brilliant introductory venue for the soon-to-be-out film.
The breathtaking trailer you will find here is not the usual play and watch video. While watching, you can use your mouse to pause the video and transition to the behind the scenes section (showing videos of the film’s production crew, each telling their inside story about making the film and the animals shown in it). When you’re done, simply drag your mouse upwards and the trailer will play where it left off. This is a mesmerizing experience, and I’m anxious to see the One Life film once it’s out. BBC Earth always delivers top-notch, mind-blowing films with rare shots and unbelievable close ups.
Drive & Seek – This interactive, action packed movie is an engaging campaign advertising Mercedes-Benz’s luxurious C Coupe car. Drive & Seek screams 007: the handsome man in the tux dodging bullets and doing car chases, along with beautiful models wearing super tight clothing are apparently the winning formula for getting men all over the world psyched about the C Coupe.
Simply start the movie and play along. That’s all there is to it.
When it Drops – Where do you go to find out about the newest releases? Sure, there are great movie sites and blogs giving you the right heads up, even trailers, but what about the newest game or music releases? Instead of going to different places for each, When it Drops has all of these conveniently showcased in one pretty place.
As you can see, you can browse new releases of last week, this week, expected releases of next week and those to be released in two weeks time. The concept of When it Drops is so simple, and the site’s so beautifully designed that it would be silly to go anywhere else for finding what new cool movies, DVDs, music albums and video games are out. Each movie’s entry offers a link to its trailer and to buying tickets to see it at the cinema. Music and game entries offer direct store link to Amazon.
Here’s a sneak peak of the music albums that will be released on the week of July 11:
iCheckMovies – This movie-centric site invites users to create their movie checklist, keep track of the ones they’ve watched, and then lets them to brag about it to their friends. Seems a little ego goes a long way, and iCheckMovies certainly taps into that ‘acknowledge me’ syndrome that is increasingly present in social network interactions.
So what’s the point of iCheckMovies? Well, based on the check list you created and the movies you’ve liked, the site’s system better recommends movies to other users. Although I think I might be too old for iCheckMovies, it certainly offers a point of interest to the teens audience.
Here’s more on how iCheckMovies works:
