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

aint-it-cool-news.com is a film website started in 1996 by Harry Knowles. It is one of the most well known movie websites and There are thousands of movie websites on the internet, some that look completely professional to some that are made in one persons bedroom.

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

Ain't It Cool was one of the first websites I started to visit regularly. Its constant film updates are Godsends to film fans like me. It's not like other websites, who update maybe once a week or each day, but whenever they get any interesting news. Whenever. Its also become quite a well respected site in the film industry - they get scoops before a lot of other sites do. For example, the web site author Harry Knowles recently flew out to New Zealand to provide Behind the Scenes reports on the upcoming Lord of the Rings films. The site is simply designed without lots of flashy graphics, making it easy to navigate. The film reviews are well written in a ...  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
