Writing a review of Man Walking on Snow — to be posted later today.

Props for the link to Ed Howard. His blog is one of the best on the internet.

for me, the most inspiring film journal: celine julie wordpress

Thanks for the list! Going to have to slowly check them all out.

hopelies.com is great too…

For the Europe section I would add…..

Independencia (France)
http://independencia.fr/indp/accueil.html

Lumiere (Spain)
http://www.elumiere.net/

Both have great content and are beautiful to look at!

yeah hopelies.com is worth a mention.

I’d like to self nominate Directors Notes – weekly interviews & films/clips from independent directors: http://www.directorsnotes.com

Also No Fat Clips – http://dekku.nofatclips.com/, Short of the Week – http://www.shortoftheweek.com/, Motionographer – http://motionographer.com/ & The WorkBook Project – http://workbookproject.com/ are absolute musts.

I’m surprised allmovie didn’t make the list. i’ve always found them useful.

Missed out www.puremovies.co.uk, a nice mish-mash between academic, industry and populist articles. Just read one from the writer of Mars Attacks!

Acquarello link needs a fix, it’s leading us to Bordwell’s site.

missed Billy Stevenson’s www.afilmcanon.com

If there’s a more comprehensive and eloquent review of the film canon I haven’t seen it. Updates chronologically (up to the 50s atm)

all of them are very good links, thanks

Glad to see so many friends on here. Hopefully Out 1 can join the party soon! A boy can dream… :-)

You might like to edit the Hindu website link under “Asia”
The current link points to Hindu website which looks pathetic. They have a beta website for movies at http://beta.thehindu.com/arts/movies/ which looks much better.

That’s a great list, with only a few notable omissions I can see. Splendor Cinema is well worth a look for the novelty of reading about the film biz from the perspective of an exhibitor (http://splendorcinema.blogspot.com/).

The Case for Global Film is superb on world cinema (http://itpworld.wordpress.com/).

And modesty prevents me from mentioning my own film biz research blog, Bigger Picture Research (http://www.biggerpictureresearch.net/)

A great list! Thanks for the indepth breakdown.
Check out The Reel Pour at http://www.reelpour.com for something different. It pairs up and reviews Cinema and Wine using a simple and entertaining approach rolled up in one intergrated forum.

Thanks for the great list!!!! =)

This is a great list, David. Thanks for revealing your sources!

Thanks

Huge list, definitely the most comprehensive list I’ve seen. If you like a discussion-based set up and independent film, I’d also check out appleboxfilm.com. It’s pretty small so far but has a lot of potential.

InContention.com . It’s defined itself as an awards site, as the URL suggests, but it’s really way more than that. Kris Tapley and Guy Lodge do great movie coverage in general, along with pretty insightful columns and writing.

thanks David for sharing us these nice links

Thank you, David!

What about trailers. backofthetrailer.typepad.com

Happy to be part of the in crowd, but also want to put in a plug for “Parallax View,” for its archival revivals (like “Movietone News”) if not its new material.

Living in Cinema is one of my favorites. Excellent writing and a lively, articulate (and respectful) comments section. Craig Kennedy has posted at least daily for close to four years, without exception, and usually multiple times a day. His reviews, interviews and essays are top-shelf. I can’t speak highly enough of it. http://www.livingincinema.com

I also depend on Awards Daily for news and buzz. Sasha’s site is what made a cinephile of me, and she’s been covering the Oscar race online longer than anyone. http://www.awardsdaily.com
