Best Movie Websites

The movie website for Mid-August Lunch reminds me of a restaurant. And I guess that was the intent! A tablecloth laid neatly out with a fork and spoon is presented to you with the main menu down the front. The menu offers the standard fare - cast & Crew, movie trailer, and synopsis. There is also a nice press downloads section for those interested in promoting the movie. the best part of this movie website however is the "Share Your Memories" link which lets you email the webmaster memories that you'd like to share, they will then post those memories on the site!

Movie Synopses: Mid-August Lunch is about a middle aged man who lives with his 93 year old mother. His condo debts are mounting, however he strikes a deal with the manager to care for the manager's family in return for forgiving his debt.

I am not crazy about movie websites that are all spammed up, or that don't seem to focus too much on the movie. The site for Our Family Wedding is a good example of the kind of site I'm just not crazy about. On first glace it looks alot like a Facebook or Myspace page. A twitter feed is constantly updating, the facebook friends are embedded, half a dozen film news articles scroll on the right side of the page - it's all just way too busy for me. Hard to focus. I wanted to leave immediately! But I stayed. And I'm not sure why... all I was able to get out of it was to watch the trailer, and I found some links to some wedding sites. And then, out of nowhere I found a tiny link under the trailer that said "menu!" click on the link and finally you'll get to some movie-related stuff. Cast & Crew, an image gallery, and even some downloads! Why did that have to be so difficult?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that February is just not a good month for movies - nor is it a good month for movie websites is my guess. I had one hope - one! That the movie website for Cop Out would be good. What will you find if you go there? A trailer, a poster, and a link to myspace and facebook. Yes, I'm serious. That is ALL. Not even an about section! What is Cop Out about? Beats me! They didn't bother to tell me on the site! OK, I did a little homework for you and read about the movie somewhere else, so here's my synopses, but please...don't bother visiting this movie website. Can I rate it a zero? :-)

Movie Synopses: Cop Out stars Bruce Willis and is about two NYPD cops on assignment to find a baseball card thief, who end up going against a tough gangster.

With a movie title like Old Dogs, I didn't know what to expect from the website...a boring place that only old people would want to visit? No! It is a Disney movie after all, and they gave us a little bit of a reason to visit with a fun Games section! Yes, there are games!! They're basic - nothing high tech, but still fun - and there are two to choose from including Golf Cart Chaos and Flying Disc Frenzy. Once you've played the games, the rest of the site is pretty standard - gallery, video section to watch the movie trailer, and a downloads section which actually has quite a few AIM icons to choose from.. but only one wallpaper and screensaver choice.

Movie Synopses: Old Dogs is a Disney film starring Robin Williams and John Travolta, and is about two best bachelor friends who have their lives turned upside down when they are put in charge of 7 year old twins.
