There was a time period when I headed out to the move theater a lot more than I do now, and when I did, I always looked for solid recommendations from friends and the real critics that are paid to review movies. I didn’t always agree with them, but at least I tried to get their perspectives before I plunked down some of my cold hard cash to see the latest flick. When you find someone who has the same taste in movies as you do, it’s a joyous occasion, isn’t it? Instead of being alone in your viewpoints, you can actually obsess over the same films with another person. Criticker is a personalized film recommendation engine that will help you to share your movie tastes with others.

The site uses something called the TCI (Taste Compatibility Index) to associate you with the people and critics that that you are likely to agree with. Once you rank at least ten films, your TCIs will be built, and you’ll be on your way. With Criticker, you can get recommendations, build buddy lists, write reviews, and create top ten lists. No offense, but if you grew a handlebar mustache, you’d look just like Gene Shalit.
