Transformers Stop Motion

Anyone feel like creating something like this for Criticker, as a viral promotional piece? But… I’ll understand if you’re too busy ranking movies, lol.

Appleseed Ex Machina DVD Giveaway

appleseed-exmachina

We have 4 DVDs of the animation Appleseed Saga: Ex Machina to give away, in return for a review. I’m supposed to write one, too, but I couldn’t stand the film and don’t like being too negative.

But maybe I’m the wrong person to make a judgement. I haven’t seen the first Appleseed, didn’t like the way this one was animated (the whole movie felt like sequences from a computer game) and found the storyline unwatchable.

So to allow this film a fair shot at justice we are giving 4 DVDs (Region Code 1) away.

The only thing you have to do in return is promise to watch it and write a review about it, which we will put post here on the Criticker Blog.

Please post a comment if you are interested.

Press for Criticker

We love praise… who doesn’t? And we’d like to share some recent press with our passionate users, who are always helping to make our site better.

readwriteweb

Criticker is a nice site that makes rating a lot of movies fun and easy — I rated more in 30 minutes on the site than I have in 10 years of casual IMDb use. Their recommendation engine makes mostly good recommendations (with a few misses here and there), and the ability to tweak how it interacts with your Taste Compatibility Index to determine rankings means you can up the accuracy of ratings. Unlike sites that recommend products based on what everyone thinks of them, Criticker recommends films based only on the opinions of people who have a similar taste as you, which makes a big difference.

The lesson there may be that the crowd as a whole isn’t always smart (or at least isn’t well suited to every task we try to throw at it). However, more focused crowd intelligence can yield potentially exceptional results.

I have been a heavy user of imdb and Wikipedia for years as far as it concerns to movie references. Yet, both of them are not very suitable in the sense of immediate social interaction and networking. Movie blogs are much better in that. Thus, when I stumbled Criticker I had to give it a chance. registration went pretty easy and after a short few min I was already submitting my first “mini-reviews” aiming to obtain the first 10 required to participate in the Taste Compatibility Index (TCI).

The concept behind this all is quite simple - Let user’s rate movies which they have seen, on a scale of 0-100, other users who want to see any movie can first read the user reviews of all the movies and then decide the best. Users will just have to click on a movie title to get to know about a short summary, genre, direction and the star cast of the movie they wish to see.

Logan’s Run is Calling

We are a step closer to the 3D communication seen as in many movies, like Star Wars & Logan’s Run. What other movies use this type of sci-fi messaging? Feel free to leave comments!
