One of the best blogs I found from Time's Top 25 Blogs of 2009 was /Film. I may not exactly be the hardcore movie buff this particular sight is referring to (I know several people who are much more into movies than I am), but I still love, love, love movies!
One of the best features of this site is that anyone can type in an actor, actress or even director's name in the search bar and find out what they've done lately and what they will be doing in the near future. For example, I can type in Orlando Bloom (don't judge me!) and find out that he is due to star in a sci-fi film called The Cross directed by Andrew Niccol in the near future.
I've always loved reading movie reviews, whether they are professionally written or just a friend telling me what they thought of the latest feature flick. I'm addicted to finding out what people loved about movies and what they despised; what worked for them and what didn't and why. On the front page of /Film (pronounced Slashfilm, by the way) is the blog's opinions on movies, characters, marketing techniques, etc. Everything about this blog is right there and easy to access, and for the technologically-challenged like myself, the easier the better!
Movie lovers--novice or seasoned--unite at slashfilm.com!
A couple of blogs I've found lately on moies that I really like are http://www.moviemake-out.com/ and http://io9.com/. The first is a general movie gossip and trailer site, the second deals with scifi films.
