New Web 2.0 Movie Community

Criticker is a movie
recommendations engine and community.



The idea is simple: rank a bunch of
films on a scale of 0-100, and Criticker will search its database of
thousands of users and critics to see who you best match up with.
Apparently, I have the almost same taste in film as Michael Phillips of
the Chicago Tribune. Criticker refers to the measure of how good we
match as the "Taste Compatibility Index". The lower the TCI, the better.



Film recommendations are generated by
looking at the movies which my top TCIs have highly ranked. Criticker
has thousands of users, and over 15,000 films, so the supply of
recommendations is seemingly endless.



The best part is, Criticker doesn't hide
any of its calculations. I can see exactly why a certain film has been
recommended to me. Or, the reason Frank Lovece (TV Guide) and I have
such a poor TCI (hint: he loved Ice Age). It's extremely addictive. Add
a forum, a blog, and buddy lists, and you have a site which could
easily consume hours of idle time.
