Movie review & ratings #movies #reviews #ratings
I like IMDb, because it keeps my history of what I rated, though since I'm a subscriber to Flixter & Netflix, they do, too. IMDb makes my history more available and easier to sort, IMO, and is currently more complete. As I'm getting older, I sometimes forget if I saw a movie, especially if it's not very good, so I like to look back at that information.
WARNING: IMDb has a secret weighted average. Notice on this rating [note: they're blocking this page now - users can report it here if it's still blocked] that one person seemed to skew the whole average that they show on the movie page, but they do show the arithmetic mean and median ratings, which you can see how different that one is.
I also like RottenTomatoes, which like IMDb works for some movies and not others. RottenTomatoes is now also Flixter and you can connect with your Facebook friends through this site. There are certain movies that the majority don't seem to "get" so they rate them low. It's good to get recommendations from like-minded people, such as happened for this movie.
