Twitter seems to be starting to prove that it can be a solid, succinct informaiton source, and the new site Skinnipopcorn.com aims to take advantage of this.
The British-based site aggregates a selection of film review Tweets so users who want a quick yay or nay on the latest releases are saved the bother of reading wordy critics' reviews.
The New York Times reports that this page includes the more tradtional movie reviews for those who want undigested film observations, but this could be a great, quick tool for friends making last-minute movie decisions on a Friday night.
'We wanted gut commentary, a very quick snapshot. Is it worth seeing or not?' Brendan Dawes, the creative director explains of the sites' goal.
The website was named not for a more low-fat version of the popular movie treat but for those who want to 'get the skinny' on new film releases, the news provider reveals.
One example is this review from @charmyourkarma, who wrote 'Just watched Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, best movie so far & faithful to the book!' of the latest Harry Potter cinematic effort.
Skinnipopcorn.com focuses mainly on American film releases and does not yet have a search feature, but since the movies are alphabetically ranked, its fairly easy to find your desired movie reviews.
