One of the most frequently asked question in the Audio Visual department, is what do you think of this movie? While staff can offer some viewer’s advisory comments based on their own thoughts of a film or what patrons have told them, sometimes there is nothing like a professional opinion!
Moviereviewintelligence.com is a new website devoted to monitoring and aggregating the work of an endangered species, the movie critics of some 65 print and broadcast outlets. Its chock full of charts, graphs, and other tracking mechanisms that help a consumer make an informed decision about a film. Best of all, there is an archive function dating back to January 1, 2009. So, the website is a useful tool for evaluating recently released DVDs as well. Librarians are trained to look for authoritative sources, and this is a humdinger.
The Westport Library is fortunate to be able to purchase a wide variety and genre of films for the collection. When in doubt about a film, we’ve turned to reviews for guidance.
What a delight to find them all tied up in one neat bundle.
But, please remember that if the library doesn't have a film you would like to see, you are always welcome to put in a suggestion for purchase. While we may not be able to get every film, we will certainly try to accommodate your request.
