Welcome to the New MovieWeb!

The new MovieWeb has been in the works for awhile now, based on feedback from our users and on the social and real-time use trends of the Web. In a nutshell, MovieWeb 4.0 is:

The new faster MovieWeb

Faster
With multiple load-balanced servers, CDN, cloud storage and...basically... lots more horsepower, we're doing it better and faster than before. But that's not all. Caching, Ajaxified wizardry and a bit of Java sprinkled about ensure that your ratings, reviews, page-loads, comments, logins, purchases and everything you do, see, discuss and play with on the site will happen faster.

Get Organized With MovieWeb

More Organized
With lots more to do and see, we've substantially improved and enhanced site navigation and functionality. Basically, there are lots of nav elements to get you where you want to go, with drop downs from the main nav-bar, choices on the left margins of many pages as to sectional directions and even lots of ajax ratings, add-to-list features and more. With each page and element within each page, we recommend you play around and discover all the things you can do and see. The important thing is that all the stuff you loved about the content on MovieWeb is still there... but with new ajax tabs and new organization to keep track of all the cool stuff going on around MovieWeb.

The Community Live Feed

More Social
One of the best things that has emerged about both MovieWeb and the web in general is that you can communicate more effectively with friends and new acquaintances. Now, on MovieWeb, you can do it even better! Check out what everyone is doing on the new Community Live Feed on the homepage. Then check your own "Home" page where you'll see a Live Feed of what your friends are doing around the site. Everywhere they rate, review, comment, or upload, you'll be able to quickly check it out! But that's not all. Better and more integrated forums, the ability to upload photos and create galleries are cool new additions as well as improved reviews submissions system. Coming soon... lots more in this area to let you share, compare and generally 'keep up'.

Welcome to the New MovieWeb

More Active
Whether you like to rate, review, comment, list, read or just lurk... MovieWeb's got you covered. With more users reviewing and submitting and commenting, our incredible team is growing at an amazing pace. As more of you review and rate, there's more for our current and new users to read and comment on. We've grown (and are continuing to expand) our video 'library' and are out covering as many films, DVDs, TV shows, set visits, junkets, interviews and opportunities we come across. We're on the streets, at the megaplexes, crawling through Park City, Toronto, (Cannes?), LA, NY, Vancouver and around the globe to get you the best that filmed entertainment has to offer...

Help us make it even better!
Comment below and let us know what you think! Of course, constructive feedback is most useful. Give us as much information as possible. If something is broken, tell us the url, OS and Browser Version.

Now that our new site platform is live, we've got lots we're doing to bring new applications and features to our users. These new additions and features will be faster to add and much richer and more robust. We've got LOTS on our drawing board, so stay tuned! If you carry an iPhone, Blackberry or a Droid, we're gonna hook you up. Lots of features coming to the main site and a few new sites in the works. If there are features, you'd like to see us implement, give use the details! If it's not on the board already, I'm sure we can get it on the list. Your feedback drives the development!

We hope our users and fans LOVE the new MovieWeb as much as we do and we hope you'll love what's next...

    Josh, honestly this doesn't concern you and has nothing to do with Celluloid Dreams. I've been writing specifically for this site for the last three years and both my status and body of work are now displaced and no longer connected to me. I'm trying to get it back.

    Lol...Celluloid Dreams has been posting the same complaints since the first day the site changed. Move with the times, bud.

    Okay, I think I found out what happened. Apparently, there are two profiles for me, but the one I'm using is simply my USER account. My Official Critic account was deactivated for some reason. Thus, I can't log into my "real" account at all. Could you please help me work this out so I can get that account working again?

  8. Yentz

    So any updates on all of my lost reviews? Or the Official Critic status? Anything, yet?

    I like not having to worry about customizing my profile. The new MW is here to stay.

    Im not liking the new movieweb. Its just another so called "social" network like facebook and twitter. Before one could customize their profile page to really make it their own, make it more personal I suppose. Now every profile looks exactly like the next. And the main page is just white, very boring.

    yeah, Josh, way to go. I mean i'm sick of these users just writing 4 sentenced paragraphs for a movie review. That type of stufff should be meant for a forum discussion.

  18. T.Clark

    Thumbs up to Josh's suggestion.

    2 years agoby @insertusernamehereFlag

  19. Josh

    Another suggestion: block reviews for movies that haven't come out yet. There are already "reviews" going up for Iron Man 2 and Pirates 4.

    2 years agoby @shuabertFlag

  20. Josh

    Excellent!

  21. The MovieWeb Team

    Josh = Yes! Right now, just hit those little FLAG buttons next to comments and other content. We have people working round the clock checking the validity of those flags and will deny/block as needed.

    2 years agoby @moviewebFlag

  22. Josh

    Ugh. Is there anything in the works for improved spam blocking? This new site has only been up for a few days and there are already proxy spammers like Guilihkites and Landry making a mess of this place.
    Once moderation is reinstated in the forums my team will be on top of that, but even before the changes it was getting really out of hand. There are a lot of bot accounts who are just posting garbage links to other sites.

    2 years agoby @shuabertFlag

  23. Newkill3000

    movieweb, just a suggestion but there should be a way to separate between your activities and comments left by other users on their home pages.

    2 years agoby @newkill200Flag

    Sure thing. Here's a link to my profile on Flickster. I do all my reviews through the Flickster facebook application so they can be published to my facebook wall, but to be honest Flickster doesn't offer much so I would love to be able to sync that account with a more usable site like MovieWeb.

  25. The MovieWeb Team

    Josh = We'd like to see your Flickster reviews... can you shoot us a URL to support at movieweb dot com? Maybe there is something we can offer everyone here in the way of an import. As well Facebook syncing along with some "other site" syncing is coming very soon...

    RSS FEEDS ARE COMING! = Updated feeds are coming back very quick... we're actually in the process of adding some very select, and very informative feeds back into the stream of things. Stay tuned to the homepage for an RSS announcement about feed re-ignition happening very soon...

    Thanks for everyone's patience! Anymore cool ideas or suggestions are welcome!

    New Style Is Cool

  28. Josh

    I do it on Flickster because it's synced with my Facebook. But I want to have all my reviews in one place, so unless a better site has an import option I'll stay with Flickster.

  29. Yentz

    Hey there, any word yet on all of my missing reviews?

    2 years agoby @ayreationFlag

  30. XSSIV

    hey, josh... You should start reviewing them all here! ;)

    I think import would be cool, tho. DEF - the new MovieWeb is WAY better than Flixster...
