Urban Cinefile Web site producer and presenter of the SBS TV series Front Up, fronts up with his favourites.
Big Pond Movies Trailers
An extensive and fast-growing library of trailers and clips for an entertaining glimpse of new and classic movies.
Brills Content
Primarily a media-monitor, but it's incredibly comprehensive and fascinating even with its (not exclusive) US focus. Like the story in the September 16 issue of their Between the Lines column(www.brillscontent.com/daily/between/between_0999.html#zealand), about The New Zealand Herald's controversial feature on the eve of President Clinton's APEC visit. This used a motorcade map of Auckland with JFK's fateful Dallas motorcade map superimposed, and the caption "Look familiar?"
CDStar
This local online CD sales store is fairly new but already a favourite. I tried it out, ordering Santana's Supernatural, and had the CD in two days.
Salon
High quality writing on arts and artists, politics and a variety of contemporary issues; always thought provoking (when I have time for thought!).
Urban Cinefile
I get a kick out of our broad coverage of the world of movies and the overview this gives me. I also like to dip into our vast archives for a refresher on everything from a 1997 movie review to the recent debate on media manipulation by movie marketers.
