Website Review: SmartCine

SmartCine

This is a specialty website with a blog added to it. A great site!


What is the "SmartCine" all about?

SmartCine is a movie site with user movie reviews, DVD release schedules, top movies and a blog. It's in a beta stage, so there are a few things missing as you navigate the menus.

Site Design

I won't critique the blog portion since it looks like the WordPress default theme. I did catch an article that I like there, "August Theatrical Release Schedule, because I always want to know what the latest releases are.

The website portion, the main page, looks pretty good. The CSS for the navigation links in the header need to be worked on because they resize when you hover over them. Also some of the links and anchors change after you move to another page.

Article Content

There's a whole lot of good content on the website portion as well as the blog portion. I would like to be able to get a feed of the website portion (which doesn't appear possible) because I'm more interested in the reviews than the blog itself.

It appears the only way to get a feed is by using a feedreader for the blog portion. I want a feed by email!

My Overall Opinion

I love this website. I wish there were more options besides visiting on a regular basis (like feeds by email, hint, hint). Of course, I'm a sucker for entertainment and gadget sites when they're done well.

I recommend this site if you're into movies of all kinds, like I am.

Would you like a Review?

My reviews aren't great. They're far from it. They're absolutely free, however, and you can't beat that with a stick. Make sure your blog is ready to be reviewed and then submit it on my "Request A Blog Review" page and I'll try to do my best to give you a fair review. The key word is "try".

    RT, I'd like to ask you a special favour – could you please help me promote my webcomic, Boxi and Panjo by writing a review of it?

    I know this is not a website review I'm asking, but I'd love your own feedback on the way I'm going about it overall…

    You can also take a sample toon and post it here (any one you like) if you think it's going to help.

    My latest blog post: Boxi and Panjo – Spoil the Sunset

  2. It's very cool that you're doing it for free! :)

  3. That looks like a really nice site, and I see that in the screenshot there is a picture of the new X-Files movie. I was never really into that show too much, but I'm sure the people who were are really, really excited about this movie. Interesting to see them both coming back after so long. And you do good reviews, stop being so modest.
