An extremely comprehensive site devoted to film music which provides information on individual composers, including credits, agents and their music publishers. There is also a large number of interviews as well as reviews of film soundtracks (with full track titles and running times), news features and related articles.
Site devoted to Indian cinema that can be searched from a list of fiction films, fimmakers and documentaries (split into pre- and post-Independence) as well an easy to use chronology broken down into decades. There is also coverage of new films and interviews with filmmakers, as well as a bulletin board and archive of previous articles.
Site dedicated to reporting American box-office statistics, sorted in a number of useful and ingenious ways, including by week, year, director, actor etc. In addition, the site also gives very useful statistics on VHS and DVD sales and rentals in the US, giving both the number of units sold and the revenue that they have brought in, all of which are compared with the film’s original cinema takings. International box office figures are also given by territory, with all revenues expressed in American dollars. In addition, reviews, news features, TV ratings, music sales and and other items are also included.
Informative and well-organised site for television camera operators, particularly television news, with an impressive archive of articles, news items, cameramen’s web sites, tips for newcomers, and a very useful glossary of terms. There are equipment reviews, wants lists and second-hand offers, a bookstore with helpful descriptions, and an excellent ‘travelogue’ section with data on countries around the world of value to more than just globe-trotting cameramen.
The extremely useful MRQE website claims to provide links to 400,000 online reviews from a huge variety of sources for some 40,000 movies. The layout is simple in the extreme, but the site works well - searches can be carried out using simple Boolean operators and there is a prompt taking you to preselected lists, such as Recent releases in the UK, Most popular titles (last week) or specific titles that appeared in various festivals at Cannes or the Academy Awards. Foreign language titles can also be searched successfully, although it is restricted to the Roman alphabet.
Although there are many websites devoted to classic TV programmes, this one distinguishes itself for its better than average design and layout and for the seriousness with which it approaches its subject and the level of detail it provides. The site includes broadcast information on UK TV and some radio programmes, giving credits and transmission dates (both mostly taken from the Radio Times), interviews, articles, news, as well as a discussion forum with some 300 registered users. There is also a link to the homepage of a related publication, Timescreen which is devoted to TV fantasy programmes - it includes web versions of the magazine’s articles. In addition there is a gazetteer which features useful details of other similar forums, details on distributors and like-minded publications.
