FILM DATABASES & NEWS SITES
<BLOGS, PODCASTS, & WEBZINES | B-MOVIE RETAILERS & DISTRIBUTORS>
Bloody Disgusting – Updated frequently, Bloody Disgusting is a great resource of news, reviews, and articles about everything related to the Horror genre! So if you want to stay in the know on all things Horror, make sure you bookmark this site!
Blu-ray.com – A great resource to get details on all Blu-ray releases both new and old! They have a HUGE review section and add new titles to their database daily! If you’re on the fence about adding a new disc to your collection, this is the first place you should go for helpful info!
CHUD.com – Sadly no longer updated. CHUD.com (which stands for Cinematic Happenings Under Development) was once a daily stop for yours truly because they updated frequently about movies, TV shows, and video games all the time! In particular, I really miss Joshua Miller’s Franchise Me column!
Dawn of the Discs – A frequently updated Facebook page that drops information on new and upcoming Blu-ray & 4K discs, particularly the genres you and I love! They also have a Patreon that you can join to get early, ad-free posts about physical media news!
The Disc-Connected – The brainchild of passionate physical media advocate Ryan Verrill, this frequently updated Facebook page is a fantastic resource that announces any and all new and upcoming Blu-ray & 4K UHD releases! There’s also a Disc-Connected podcast and a monthly-ish publication that furthers the physical media cause!
DiscDish.com – Started up in February of 2010, this site is an invaluable resource, full of DVD and Blu-ray disc news and reviews, as well as celebrity interviews. This site is updated daily, so keep an eye on it if you’re an avid film fan and/or collector. Also, if this site is a bit too “mainstream” for you, then check out DiscDish.com’s DVD Resources page to find a site that is more suitable for your needs.
The Internet Movie Database – An invaluable resource when looking for information on a specific movie, director, actor, etc.!
MRQE.com – The Movie Review Query Engine is one of the best places on the web to search for a review on any movie you can think of. Have a review site of your own? Then contact the webmaster and ask if your reviews can be part of the every growing search engine.
Satellite News – The official Mystery Science Theater 3000 fan page! Get daily doses of b-movie celeb birth and death dates, keep up to date on MST3K DVD releases, and learn about everything there is to know about this legendary comedy show that keeps returning from the grave!
Sci-Fi Japan – A definite must-visit site for fans of Asian sci-fi, fantasy, and horror films! If there’s any new kaiju or tokusatsu flicks coming out, then rest assured that this site will have plenty of coverage!
Shock Til You Drop.com – Once one of the web’s best horror/cult/sci-fi news sites, Shock Til You Drop hasn’t been updated since 2011.
VHS Wasteland – An awesome website that has archives of VHS boxes! I’ve always felt that the artwork on the old VHS tapes was far superior to the lazy photoshop jobs on the majority of DVDs, Blu-rays, and theatrical posters that we have today, and so does the creator of this site. If you’re looking for a trip down memory lane, or eager to share your own high-resolution VHS box scans with others, then pay this site a visit right now! (Last updated in 2017.)
