Film
Everybody loves to blog about the movies they’ve seen, and you can find that feedback buried among posts about a trip to Aunt Martha’s and one on something funny the cat did. But when it comes to blogs exclusively about film, the local blogging scene is surprisingly subdued. For the most part, the real powerhouse websites in the film world aren’t blogs but aggregator sites, which gather articles from around the globe.
Moviecitynews.com This site offers an incredible array of articles focusing on, but not limited to, Hollywood productions. Particularly fun at this time of year is the “Gurus o’ Gold,” in which a panel of critics from around the country rank the likely Oscar nominees.
Daily.greencine.com GreenCine is an online DVD rental service, but David Hudson and a staff of contributors maintain a blog that links to stories about film festivals, new DVD releases and all things art cinema.
Indiewire.com This site serves a networking function for independent and documentary filmmakers, but it’s also a great place to learn what’s going on in the world of film beyond Hollywood. The coverage of every film festival imaginable is remarkable, and this is a good place to get updates on that Vietnamese film that wowed them at Cannes, or that documentary struggling to find a distributor.
Nerve.com/CS/blogs/screengrab In addition to a great list of links to other cool sites, Screengrab offers amusing pieces like “That Guy!” (essays on character actors), a “Video of the Day” and the “Morning Deal Report,” which gives a daily dose of the business side of the movies.

I actually didn't care for bookslut.com. I really wanted to like it, but if you take a closer look at the reviews of the science books, she keeps saying that she's not a scientist, blah, blah, blah. The way in which she reviews these books is "I'm not a scientist, but...", I wish that she would hire a science major (maybe not a Ph.D or something), but someone who can speak to both the educated biologist/physicist/chemist AND the everyman interested in scientific pop literature.
