In our first 'sites we love' post, we listed three new movie/entertainment sites - Jaden's Screenwriting for Hollywood, Jean's Sizzling Popcorn and James' Worth the Popcorn. They are a bunch of highly professional and committed bloggers, with their own unique approach to blogging and social networking. They've become good friends and I think that's what really matter the most. Now, we have three more sites we love featured here. Check them out!

He has written one book and is composing music in his spare time. His dreams are to travel around the world and he has lived in several countries, including Ireland and China. He has a particular passion for the music in movies and decided to start his own blog about movie scores and soundtracks at soundtrackgeek.com.

The Reviewer has been 'reviewing' movies since 2005. I find his reviews comprehensive and honest and very refreshing compared to some review sites that are obviously just out to impress.

Aside from that, the site's layout is superb! It's very user-friendly and while there are lots of ads, they are presented in an organized way. Says Mikey:

I just like movies, and people liked what I had to say about them. So I started writing about them. I write poorly, I spell even worse, but will try to keep sentences in a somewhat readable format.

How's that for honesty?

I really hate Haneke's Funny Games! But that's just me of course. I just recently visited a movie review site that had been discussing the dreaded movie and they've launched a series of debates to deliberate on almost every detail of this remake.

I have been surprised (and impressed) by the way they've developed their site strategy. It's not because of the way they review films - they review the way most movie review sites do - but because of their ingenious concept for making articles more interesting and challenging. That is very hard to do, especially in such a crowded niche field as movies!

I just discovered this site called DNSCOOP. What's this site about? From DNSCOOP itself, here's what they have to say:

My Site is worth $12,154 How much is your site worth?

dnScoop.com attempts to estimate a value for an established website or a domain name by using factors such as:

* Links pointing to the domain
* Popularity of the domain
* Age of the domain
* Pagerank of the domain
* Traffic to the domain
* and more...

We believe that these factors are a good indicator of a site's value and earning potential.

The kind of info I got from DNSCOOP is very impressive and I think all serious bloggers should check what's their site's worth from DNSCOOP.You'll never know what you might discover! Here' some of the more interesting info:

The estimated value of a single link on themovie-fanatic.com is: $7 /month, If you were to sell 8 links on themovie-fanatic.com, you could generate $56/month in revenue for your website.

Current AlexaRank for themovie-fanatic.com: 335,139, traffic Details from Alexa for themovie-fanatic.com. Breakdown: Just getting started. Traffic for a site in this range is anywhere from 100 to a few thousand daily visits.

I know that other sites have been lording it over at alexa. I'm sure we need to do something drastic about it, coz currently tMF's ranking does not reflect it's true traffic stats. Here's our own stats, not that we're boasting about it, it's just that we're celebrating a milestone in tMF for breaking the 30,000 uniques per month!

I think that's enough for now and finally, we're proud to announce that tMf is now part of Digital-Folder's network. Here's a short quote from them:

We intend for this site to be a real network, not just of information but of people with like-minded ideas. That is why the Digital Folders Network is open to authors who want to write about what they know...

Thanks for the post and the kind words, I can't believe you think my site has a good layout! I feel so special. I personally think your site has an awesome layout and I wish mine looked as good as yours, but hey, I guess the grass is greener.

Welcome to the network.

Thanks for Sharing These

Thanks for sharing these sites. It can be difficult to find new blogs online and it sure is helpful when someone posts reviews like these to help us find the gems

Soundtrackgeek and MovieZeal are very cool sites

Soundtrackgeek (STD), the website and the website owner, was the first friend I made when I began Film-Book. When I needed help, STD answered my question. He didn't have to but since we weren't competing, he did. Ever since, we have been commenting back and forth on each others website frequently. Soundtrackgeek is a unique site in that it offers only one thing relating to movies: soundtracks.

MovieZeal pumps out three times the movie reviews that I do(since I solely review in theater films, I work alone and MovieZeal reviews in theater and DVD releases). Movie Zeal and I have also have developed a friendship since I discovered them through LAMB and they have helped me improve the presentation of my website. Particular thanks in that regard goes to Evan Derrick and his efforts on my behalf.

If you are having trouble discovering new movie blogs, check out LAMB which stands for the Largest Association of Movie Blogs. They can be found here: http://largeassmovieblogs.blogspot.com/. By the way, Soundtrackgeek is LAMB #23, MovieZeal is LAMB #49 and I am LAMB #50.I wrote a post about it here: http://film-book.com/50th-review-50th-lamb/.
