What Movie Should I Watch Tonight? – This unique movie recommendation site is so simple and effective I’m surprised no one has done it before. Simply go to the WMSIWT homepage, pick a movie genre on the left menu and the site will start showing you relevant movie trailers. That’s how I came to find the one shown below by picking ‘Dramatics.”

Once you’re done watching the trailer, you’ll have a film summary including the name of the movie, date of release, participating actors, and the name of the Director. WMSIWT uses full screen viewing by default, and you can add some preferences such as RSS, HD videos, exit full screen mode and other settings.

Here’s the brief info view of the movie trailer I saw (picture above), Blue Valentine.

It is up to you to investigate and get any bit of information you can to solve the case.

Sufferrosa is a first of its kind Web-based film; it has over 110 scenes, three alternative endings, and takes place in 20 different locations.

For my test run I searched for a prospect present I’m considering buying for my boyfirend: the new Call of Duty game (Black Ops) for PS3. Metacritic beautifully lays out before me all the information I could possible want to know about this game including its ratings by both critics (‘Metascore’ they call it) and users, and a link to the game’s official website. Here’s a screen shot of the page for Call of Duty: Black Ops:

My final words on Metacritic? Great entertainment recommendation site that truly offers filtered, high quality games, music, movies and TV shows suggestions.

Having an impressive history of past clients such as NPR, Radiolab and Mediacom, Everyone is a visual content virtuoso, cleverly presenting the subtlety, oddity, beauty and narratives of the modern human culture.

There is no other way for you to understand what I’m referring to without sitting down for a couple of minutes and seeing the majestic power of superbly edited and shot, short movie stories of Everyone. See Words, my current favorite, below (by Everyone, in collaboration with WNYC’s Radiolab and NPR; directed by Daniel Mercadante & Will Hoffman; Supervising Producer: Robert Krulwich; Original Score: Keith Kenniff (unseen-music.com).

fflick – Going to the cinema is still quite magical in my view; the big screen, the comfy seats and the smell of popcorn make the cinematic experience totally worth it. On the other hand, great entertainment is seldom free and a trip to the cinema costs an average of $12 (and that excludes gas expenses, snacks and beverages). Want to make sure your twelve bucks are well spent? Check out fflick.

The fflick concept is so simple and so useful we just had to make it a Weekly Fave. Don’t you agree?

It was very difficult for me to choose just one movie to share with you guys, but I finally narrowed it down to the Italian movie, Notte Sento (with English subtitles), by Urban Team. You can also see the movie below. Enjoy.

Inception: The Cobol Job – Forget about conventional, 2-minute video trailer for movies. That’s so old and boring. The Yahoo! Inception: The Cobol Job movie is a totally new and innovative way of getting a glimpse of the upcoming action movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Even if you’re not into comics, the interface of this unusual trailer manages to emphasize intense plot moments by varying the navigation speed and direction from one story frame to another. This is simply amazing and it did the job: I’m psyched about the movie! Currently in theaters (and Imax). By the way, you can download the entire comics story line in PDF.
