Darth Vader would look very nice in my office.
These wall stickers are super-high-quality vinyl, and even though they are merely two dimensional, the resolution of the photos make it really seem like Vader, Boba or Yoda are in the room. Have them guard your office, monitor the hallway, and watch over your door. Command respect from your peers with just the mere hint of their presence.

Of course, this isn’t any kind of definitive list of "Christmas" films (just those that happen to have the word in their titles), so feel free to suggest some other X-mas themed movies in a comment. Then, I can check our database and generate the real Top 10 Christmas Movies of all times.

Our good friend Matt Richards, who happens to be an awesome artist, agreed to make some sketches we could use for Criticker Merchandise. Here’s what Matt came up with:

Mike and I are in that sketch (any guesses who is who?) We love what Matt did and decided to make T-Shirts out of it.
Option #1:

Option #2:

Click on the shirts to find out how to get your fingers on them.
We’ve actually set up a whole Criticker merchandise site with mugs, notebooks, stickers and much more.
If you interested to see more of Matt Richards’s artwork take look on his site (my favorites are his sketch books)
Any other artists out there? If you’ve got something movie related, please let us know.
We’re thinking about having small contests in the future, where you can win Criticker stuff. What do you think?
Criticker User Bkudria just published a great review about Criticker on his site. He also found a great use for our “Recently Ranked Movies” RSS feed, combining it with Yahoo Pipes. It can be admired on the right hand sidebar of his main page. Thank you very much Bkurdia!
I’m a big fan of great films. I try to seek out and watch those great movies that awe and inspire, that are beautiful and tragic, and those that are a work of art. And after I’ve seen them, I like to rate these movies, look for similar movies to watch, and give and receive recommendations. After searching low and high on the Internet for a site that would let me do this, I passed up several (IMDB, Flixster, and Rotten Tomatoes) I found one: Criticker.com.
