Spotlight shines on Web film sites

Via NJ.com:
As Web sites have become easier to create and update, countless film aficionados have begun to churn out do-it- yourself spots devoted to movie reviews, essays, parodies and just about anything else for the sort of person who pre-orders the three- disc, 10th anniversary version of "Clerks."
Along with a cadre of commercial efforts targeting film geeks, the Web is a boon for anyone with even a mild obsession about the movies.
"Other spots stick to reviews. Take Day for Night (www.dayfornight.net), where you will find brief, paragraph-long movie critiques -- or maybe just an excerpt of someone else's review, followed by a short phrase ('I agree'). The site's creator, Scott Black of New Orleans, lists every movie he sees. So far this year: 231. And he rates them, too. 'Van Helsing' got trashed with a 14, while 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,' a favorite, earned an 85. "
Like me, Scott is a Listologist.
