Blog, 2020

If you're curious about all the new recommendations you've gotten, check out the new recommendations page. Movies are shown in order of when they were first recommended to you.

Here are my most recently added recommendations. On the Rocks and Kajillionaire are definitely two I want to check out!

I've improved the lists again! Starting with how the movies are displayed in lists: the rating is shown for movies you've already seen and you can more easily rate, review, and add and remove movies from lists.

You can also create joint lists for keeping track of movies you want to watch together with someone else.

And lastly, you can check out the history of your lists (in case you accidentally deleted a movie or you want to see what movies a friend has added).

Check out the post about the last round of improvements to the lists.

I think my heart was in the right place, but adding yellow was at most a lateral change. So I've spent the last couple months working on a pretty big overhaul of the design. I am quite satisfied and definitely think it's a big improvement. Feel free to let me know what you think!

The yellow's been removed to make room for a blue theme, the lists of movies (as on the ratings and recommendations pages) now have larger movie posters, and perhaps most important of all, rating, reviewing, and adding movies to your lists has been made easier by including the icons to do this whenever a movie is displayed.

Two pages received major changes, the home page and the movie pages. Besides applying the new theme to the home page, I added a "What's new" section to show new blogposts, spotlighted features, new reviews, and new recommendations.

The movie page now has easy to navigate subpages: basics, people, watch, cinema, similar, critic reviews, and user reviews. Below is what that looks like for the great movie On Body and Soul.

I also removed the preview popup, you now go directly to the movie page when you click on the link.

In april, we launched streaming recommendations in Australia and New Zealand. This month we're expanding to Ireland and the United Kingdom!

Of all the movies on your streaming service, we'll tell you which ones you should watch, which ones you should avoid, and the all the ones in between. Just like the general recommendations and recommendations with friends, we'll express this from 0 to 10.

In both countries we've linked your personal recommendations to what's on Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus, Netflix, Now TV, and Sky Go.

We'll be expanding streaming recommendations to more countries the coming months, next up Canada and the United States.
