If there’s one thing that can compete for our love to the Internet, it’s probably the little screen and what’s on it. The big screen on the other hand, is a trend long due. It’s time for the movie theaters owners to wake up and reinvent themselves. If they should learn anything from the online development is that they need to focus - maybe going back to the Nickelodeon module will be good for business - niche small movie theaters that target specific genres or countries for example. Picture it - a 25 seats theater equipped with the latest in technology showing only Iranian films. Well, maybe not Iranian, but you get the picture.

We’re not saying that the films aren’t interesting anymore (but we won’t blame those who do say it) just that the media should advance and join the revolution. Or evolution. The current media leaders will have to start realizing that content should be first and foremost - free. When it’s free they can start billing for all the extras it comes with, or just give us more commercials, we’re used to it. Maybe we even like it.

Anyway, the current post collects a few of the sites we get our movies and TV information fix from (not the shows and movies themselves, we’re saving this for later). The list is not sorted in any particular way.

1. IMDB - Yes, we know everyone knows this site already, weI just wanted to thank it for existing.

2. The TV IV is probably a little less known. It’s based on the Wikipedia idea that basically anyone can edit, change or add their own stuff. Although the data there is not reliable as TV.com for example, the TV IV has a more than you may first suspect. Checking up their Lost page, is just one way to understand what it is exactly.

3. If you have some time to spare and you think you’ll like movie quizzes, Filmwise is the best place to go to. There’s text quizzes, invisible quizzes (you’ll understand what it means when you’ll visit the site) and great movies quotes.

4. Television Without Pitty and Rotten Tomatoes is where we go before we decide if we want to see a television show or a movie.

5. If you want to find more movies and shows you will probably like and you’re not aware of it, you can try Criticker. All you have to do is rate films and the Criticker will than show you more films based on the people that their choices were similar to yours. It’s fun even if you don’t find new movies using it (don’t we just love rating things?).

6. And finally, VCD Quality that has a terrible name that suits the 90s. VCD Quality is a release news site. It tells us when a movie or a show is available in the file-sharing software close to your heart and how to search for it. We don’t know how legal this is, but it must be, due to the fact it exists a few years already.

If we’re missing something, please comment.
