Metacritic, very nice within its limited scope which is essentially current marketing. A searchable collection of links to critical reviews for film, books, music, etc. taken from most major national newpapers and periodicals.
Sort of like a Manufacturer's New Products Section from a trade rag with collected reviews. An intersting idea. I wonder how they market on the other end to the film, book, and other consumer media producers?
A nice place to go when the children ask, 'Can we go see Kicking and Screaming?' It's not likely to retrieve the 1995 movie of the same name, and neither Eraser Head nor Pink Flamingos show up on Metacritic.
For the real reviews the best site is still The New Yorker Film File which collects nearly two thousand short reviews of films released from 1990 to the present.

Interesting site. This is a great way to evaluate critics themselves. I'm marking down all the naysayers regarding Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go as, well, dummies.
