Flixster

You might have noticed I recently added a “Movies” box to the sidebar, with a flash object showing recent reviews from social networking site Flixster. I started using the site a couple of weeks ago through Facebook, and I’ve got to say it’s a pretty awesome website.

I’ve been meaning for some time now to make a movies page, much like my friend Stephen at Mekosh.org. I figure I review enough, so why not make my own page for them. However, using Flixster, I get what I wanted and so much more. I can easily review movies on a 5-star rating system, make my comments, see what friends think and even create lists of movies I want to see. Not to mention it keeps the average rating I have for all of my movies, how many I’ve rated and how many I’ve reviewed.

My Profile Page organizes that information quite nicely, with customizable skins and a number of other modules I didn’t mention above, like favorite actors, photos, etc. I don’t use too many social networking sites regularly, but Flixster is definitely added to that list.
