I've been reading Aintitcoolnews.com for quite a few years now - I think I first discovered it back at the time of the Star Wars prequels, when I was desperate for any morsel of news on them that I could get my hands on. Aintitcoolnews was always there with a scoop for me. Set up by the larger than life Harry Knowles, Aintitcool has a very, very simple layout. Stories are broken down into movie gossip, reviews, TV, comics and games, with movies and TV taking precedence. Rumours and stories and reviews are either done by the in house, or regular reviewers, simply known by their tags, like Moriarty, or Herc, or are sent in by Joe Bloggs. ...  Read the complete review

There are a lot of film websites out here on the Internet. Ranging from the personal homepages to the more professional sites. AICN falls in-between the two, its got a team behind making it less personal but it doesn’t fall into the professional category because it does have a very personal look and style to it. AICN is run by Harry Knowles who, as the years go by has grown into a bit of a celebrity, which has come as a bit of a problem lately, which will be discussed later. The website has a very 'made at home' look, which is nice and refreshing and makes a change from other websites. However sometimes the layout and style can get ...  Read the complete review

Film studios have for many years done test screenings to get feedback on how their films can be improved. With the dawn of the internet one site quietly posted reviews from the people who had seen the films. Gradually studios began to take notice that their films were getting bad press way before they had been released. Aint it cool has built up a network of inside informers who give the lowdown on what is happening behind the scenes in hollywood. Quite a lot of the info is good but beware as it can spoil your enjoyment of movies. However in the past 2 years a worrying trend has started to appear. The webmaster of the site Harry KNowles has become a bit of a ...  Read the complete review

Harry Knowles has created one of the best most cutting edge film sites I've seen. The reviews are good honest stories of his film experience and whats more he doesn't spoil the film for you by giving plot away, a major plus point in my opinion. Aint it cool news is also a major influence in the movie community to the extent that Batman and Robin bombed so badly (granted it was deserved) after scathing pre-release reviews. Harry has been offered jobs by movie execs but to his credit firmly remains independant (the fool!!) The site does lean a little towards to sci-fi movies (not a bad thing in my opinion) betraying Harry's geek ...  Read the complete review

Ain't it cool news is a good film site. However there are many rumours and stories on the site that are not true. It was on ain't it cool news that we heard about Godfather 4 and with Leonardo DiCaprio in it. Never came true. But the site is rather funny as it is written honestly and Harry (who runs the site) says what he thinks - not caring if he annoys somebody. A good film site with plenty of gossip and rumours. Worth a look. ...  Read the complete review
