Edge of Darkness Mel Gibson

nospam@example.com (Jill) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 12:36:58 -0700

Edge of Darkness movie. Apparently Mel Gibson is doing some acting wanna see how the website for his new movie shapes out?

This is the first official movie website of 2010 that automatically takes full control of your screen overall this is usually a good sign. The movie website is overall basic, you get the basic goodies such as movie wallpapers, screen savers , and aim icons. The design for the movie site is beefy, in your face, but clean! When I say clean I mean that the lines and design are done in a manner that there is no confusion on what you are looking at and the flow is very simplistic. You browse the movie still gallery very easy- click, quick, and clean! The graphics are in your face, as well as the text... love it when the text is large! Sometimes they can put the text in a tiny font, not that I have bad eye sight but it's just a movie website! Do you really need to squint to read a movie website?!

Navigation is a breeze. One of the features of the site is to sample the score or soundtrack to the movie. So if you just love listening to soundtracks this is the place to get a sample. Every click of the mouse gives good clean sound effect, even mouse rollovers are done nicely.

I have not heard about this movie but after visiting the website it makes me curious to find out more leaving me with just enough information to want to search for a better fix. For the people who love Mel Gibson you should check this website out, dont be surprised when you dont find him in a comedic role. SMR's recommendation: Mel Gibson and thriller movie fans -----> check out the site... it's quick and painless...

When In Rome with Kristen Bell

nospam@example.com (Jill) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:13:32 -0700

When In Rome...Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel. This movie is looking like a romantic comedy. Visiting this website is pretty straight forward. I kept looking for an Enter website button but discovered that there was no such thing.

So what you see is what you get, When In Rome gives you the bare bones of websites. You will find the When In Rome movie trailer and a couple of other small clips and photos but not much else. If you want you can link up to their twitter or facebook but thats as far as it goes. One other mention is that if you are in college you can have your school set up for a special screening of the movie, see the website for more details on that. When In Rome official movie website is the basic set up for a movie. If you want to see the trailer you can find it on your favorite movie site, no need in visiting the official site...

SMR's recommendation: Basic website, nothing special, catch the trailer for this movie anywhere you want...

The Spy Next Door is an annoyance

nospam@example.com (Jill) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 11:07:32 -0700

The Spy Next Door. This is a movie with Jackie Chan Billy Ray Cyrus, so you can probably guess that its a comedy. The website for the movie The Spy Next Door is, so far, the most annoying website of 2010. But! There are some activities to do on here so dont write it off yet. The problem with this movie website right off the bat is the beeping sound when it loads. You might think Im just being picky, but Im not! Every time you go to a new section there is this awful alarm clock sounding beep, beep, beeep, beeee! The beeeeping is not the only problem either. There is an audio track that plays while you navigate the website, the clip is the most obnoxious piece of sound that loops over and over and over at the most annoying part of the music. This music has its place so dont get me wrong, I dont mind rock and roll or alternative music. But all music has its place and if you are trying to get visitors to stay on the website dont put racket!

On to the The Spy Next Door activities. In the downloads section you can get some free wallpapers, screen savers of the movie, and aim icons. There are also some pleasant games to play, although they are by no means complicated, if you have a moment to waste (and I mean waste) you can waste it here. They have an iPhone / iPod touch app to download too. There are some activities that are printable if you want to keep the kids busy on a Saturday afternoon.

Overall The Spy Next Door official movie website is terrible. The audio lay over is annoying, and tries (but fails) to be spy-ish sound. The games are fairly lame, but do pass for (having) games, the activities look meh, and the loading page is absolutely a major turn off. The website is so poorly put together and managed that the loading sound doesn't even happen on every page, at the least be consistent! come on! ...

SMR's recommendation: If you need some activities to print out for a day to keep the kids busy then you might think about checking out this movie website. If you do visit for any reason I suggest turning off the sound, which at least they managed to put a on and off switch. If you are wanting to see this movie, are excited about its release, dont visit! You might end up disappointed.

Best Movie Website of 2009

nospam@example.com (Jill) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 20:28:00 -0700

The movie websites of 2009 really stepped it up from 2008, so the standard for having a really good website was raised over the previous year. Alot of the movie sites that we rated would have been 4 or 5 star in 2008, but in 2009 because of the competition and the creativeness of the website designers, the standard was really raised. We've got to therefore say that even the movie sites that fell in the 3 and 4 categories were actually pretty good...and there were quite a few that fell right in the middle. To get a 5, we really required a website to stand out, to give us something we weren'se seeing from everyone else. We really held high standards for the 5s, and because of this, only a handful even made it to the top. All 7 of the sites that made it to the top were great, but it's time to pick the best of the best. So, without further ado, the best movie website of 2009 goes to one site that really blew us away...

Best Movie Website of 2009: Terminator Salvation

The Terminator Salvation site had one of the best uses of the "Transform Yourself" applications we've seen on the web. Just upload a picture of yourself, and you can become a terminator - they call it "Terminate Yourself". The site also had games for your Ipod and Iphone, plenty of downloads, and plenty of info about the movie. It's probably the most fun I've had on a website all year! Even if you don't care for the Terminator series, you'll love this site. If you haven't been there, check it out, you won't be disappointed!

Worst Movie Website of 2009

nospam@example.com (Jill) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 16:16:00 -0700

Are you ready for the worst movie website of 2009? Of all the movies we reviewed in '09 - and we reviewed over 100 movies there were about half a dozen that just did nothing for us. No effort, no fun, no point visiting. But there was one that shined above the others in how bad it was. There was one that when we reviewed it earlier in the year we thought was the worst, and no movie throughout the rest of the year ever topped it... The award for the absolute worst movie website of 2009 goes to.....

Bruno!!!
The Bruno movie website far outdid it self by being the worst site we saw all year. The worst part about the site is that you couldn't even tell that it was dedicated to the movie! It's loaded with ads and misc. junkie info. Netflix? College? Cars? Software? Come on!! We want to know about the movie! Why are we going to dig through everything on this site to try and find the info? You've got to sell the movie to us, and this site did not do it. You may think that Sacha Baron Cohen is funny, but his movie's site is the bottom of the barrel.

I couldnt even find a download or image for you. It was just that bad. Congratulations!

NSFW movie website

nospam@example.com (Jill) — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 11:23:51 -0700

NSFW. Children and underage people should not visit this website. Note: The title is censored. (link is at end of post).

Since this is New Years eve I thought I would make this post short and sweet. Most of us have plans or are ready to leave work and wont have time to visit todays movie website post.

If you cant visit dont sweat it. Todays post is definitely NSFW (not suitable for work) viewing and to tell you the truth I debated on whether to review it. I decided it was a pretty good website even though I would classify it as probably a minimum of a PG-13 to a rated R website. It has clips of girls, and girls, and um half naked girls. Not to mention that I had to censor the title since we are a *ahem* respectable movie review website.

So if you are old enough and dont mind the vulgarity the website is pretty fun. You can grab a shovel and dig around, grab a wallpaper for free, and even find a gun in the sand and blow stuff up with it.

This is a bonus post, dont worry if you cant have a visit you wont be missing anything spectacular.

Happy New Year to all! In 2010 simplemoviereview.com is getting a makeover and we are expanding our horizons stay tuned and thank you for subscribing, reading, and of course thank you for lurking...

SMR's recommendation: Website is NSFW. Only of age peeps should check it out. If you cant visit this one you are not missing anything just skip until the next one...

Legion - battle, heaven, earth

nospam@example.com (Jill) — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 10:54:54 -0700

Legion movie. Looks like horror, smells like horror.
Although the movie Legion looks like horror it is actually labeled in the action/fantasy category. This movie is about the battle of mankind, the last battle when (supposedly) God himself sends angels to earth because of his lose of faith for humans maybe I misinterpreted this because to me this doesnt sound right, but it is a movie so...
The movie website. The website for Legion is fairly simple, graphics simple, clean, and neat. There is a downloads section with a Legion screensaver, wallpapers, and aim icons. There are also the social networking links up so you can connect.
The website basically gives you a good feel for what the movie is going to be like, and after visiting the Legion site you feel more inclined to check out what the movie has to offer.
Sometimes simple is better, but how can some very simple websites be better than the super complicated ones that make you sign up for stuff or (easter egg) hunt for stuff? Well, its all about moderation. Take the safe and simple route, but if you dont, be careful how complicated you make the website or the visitors will be turned off... there is a good complicated, few websites have perfected this.

SMR's recommendation: If the battle of heaven and earth sounds interesting, and you can spare 5 minutes, take a tour its quick and painless.

The Book of Eli website

nospam@example.com (Jill) — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 11:28:10 -0700

The Book of Eli, the new movie with Denzel Washington on a mission.
The website for The Book of Eli is fairly nice, there is one part in particular that is worth checking out, especially if you like comic/drawing art. Ill get to that in a minute.
If you are looking for The Book of Eli downloads you are in luck on this website. There are several wallpapers and aim icons. There are also plans (coming soon) for a screensaver, most of the time though they never put it up, well see..
The trailer is embed-able, and the movie still gallery is there to flip through. But before you go flipping through the movie stills I must warn you that they will not make you want to see this movie any more. If you are looking forward to this movie skip those stills, they are pretty boring lame Its a shame too because the trailer for the movie makes you want to see it, but then you flip through these pictures and you are like, meh. So just save yourself the heartbreak if you are looking forward to this film.
On the other hand, there is a notable feature of the Book of Eli movie weskit that makes it very unique. By clicking on the Look of Eli you have the ability to compare the real movie stills (which are much better than the others) to the storyboard drawings. The real still and the art of layered on top of one another. Use the slider to transition back and for from real to art to see how the scenes match up to the storyboard. Pretty neat very unique...

SMR's recommendation: YOu could go either way on this website. If you enjoy art, drawings, storyboards, and anything related to the mentioned you should have a visit to the look of Eli link. Enjoy!

Leap Year - leap into relaxation

nospam@example.com (Jill) — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 11:25:41 -0700

Leap Year, starring Amy Adams and Matthew Goode. I cant say that this movie website has much interactivity, because it doesnt. I can, however, say that this website is very inviting. The design is for a relaxed state of mind, the nice cool green colors. The bright vivid pictures of scenes from the movie, and the elegant animations all make this website very appealing.

A fine example of a standard, not so flashy, simple website, that can draw in visitors to gain information without having them become frustrated with new sign ups.

I didnt say that there were NO downloads, there are a few Leap Year wallpapers and aim icons with the same elegance as the website. You can also catch the trailer and embed it in your favorite corner of the web if you would like.

Sometimes less is more better...

SMR's recommendation: Well done! Simple. Easy. Hassle free. Beautifully done, beautifully done!

Youth In Revolt - fail

nospam@example.com (Jill) — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 11:20:52 -0700

Youth In Revolt movie stars Michael Cera (Superbad), and Portia Doubleday. Im not really understanding movie websites lately. They are trying to make us (visitors) sign up for new sites or jump through other hoops just to get information about the movie.
The Youth In Revolt movie website does the very same thing. To get any type of free goodies, ex: wallpapers...etc. You must complete a list of tasks described in a notebook on the website.
This might have been fun if the tasks were simple enough and could be accomplished quickly and easily. But they cant, so now I am stuck describing a movie website that did not want to share much promo information because they would rather us work for it in addition to taking out $10 at the door. Websites are supposed to be fun!
The good? Ok, there is one feature where you can make your own avatar, which seems cool. So I started, I uploaded the photo blah blah. Then, to finish the avatar, you answer a series of questions. Which to me, after being redirected to this and that site and being asked to sign up for new other stuff, was the final straw!

SMR's recommendation: Youth In Revolt website is totally not worth your visit, your time, your effort, your end or beginning of the new year. As a favor to yourself, unless you want to sign up and work for content, dont visit. The Youth In Revolt website fails...

Daybreakers- unhuman-like conduct

nospam@example.com (Jill) — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 11:38:49 -0700

Daybreakers is a vampire movie that takes the bloodsucking to the new extreme. On screen humans will be bred into the vampires food until the day comes that humans are on the verge of extinction. Although it seem as though the movie website for Daybreakers did an elaborate job, which they did, there is not much for the average browser. To do anything besides grabbing the Daybreakers wallpapers or aim icons you must have a facebook account. To submit to the bloodbank or to capture humans you are required to have an account with facebook. Im not saying that nobody has one, what I am saying is that this is not universal interactivity and therefore losing points. In fact, I dont have a FB and found it irritating to have to login to participate. Daybreakers you left me, a human, out in the cold how dare you...

SMR's recommendation: Meh visit or not you wont be missing anything, just be prepared to be singled out for not being a Vampire.

It's complicated -at least to y'all it is

nospam@example.com (Jill) — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 10:33:06 -0700

Its Complicated how movies are made, but the new movie website for Its Complicated doesnt seem very complicated. Alec Baldwin, Meryl Streep, and Steve Martin star in this new movie. The movie might be good, we have yet to find out, but I can tell you that the website it very simple. You can find basic information about the movie including spots for the cast and crew and synopsis. There are also a few aim icon downloads and a few movie wallpapers that they offer, but aside from that there is nothin! Movie websites like this count on their viewers to not be able to work the web, and that seems very insulting. But is it? Maybe a little, but the point here is that they could gain more movie goers by promoting the younger crowd, the ones who enjoy the movie websites and their ability to sway us to the theater.

Did You Hear About The... ahh forget it!

nospam@example.com (Jill) — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 10:17:48 -0700

Did You Hear About The Morgans? Yea, me neither. Just the title of this movie makes me feel left out of the loop, someones loop, guess it must be the Hollywood loop. Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker want us to figure out the question Did You Hear About The Morgans? The problem is, why should we care to find out about the Morgans? The website is super lame! They give a wallpaper, twitterskin, and a screensaver for free but they don't give me my time back. What this movie does not offer is a proper website. Answer this: who are the Morgans? I dont know! Why are the Morgans?! Who knows! And the website does not clear up any of this confusion. On top of that there are two faces starring at you on the main page peeking through the brush. And its beginning to freak me out! They leave us out of the loop, don't care to get us involved with the characters, and willy nilly slap a lame website for us... shame shame shame on the Morgans... Oh, btw, did you hear about the Morgans?

Up In The Air - Up in cyberspace

nospam@example.com (Jill) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 15:37:41 -0700

Next to absolute nothingness on the official website for the new movie with George Clooney called Up In The Air. But just as the same director did for Juno which was smoothly directed and entranced its audience this website seems to do the same for the visitor. First of all and probably the best of all, the best thing a website can do is sample the soundtrack for FREE! I cant stress this any more, visitors love sampling the soundtrack! The website makes you wan to browse and think about things exactly what Im not sure. But I found myself feeling the need to see this movie even though I had not incline to do so before hand. Sure you can find a few wallpaper downloads and possibly a screensaver. You can also view several clips form the movie. But what this website does best is sit here in the cyberworld awaiting for you to find it and when you get here it will take you away...

SMR's recommendation: Visit not for me but for yourself...
