MOVIEMIKES.COM WEB SITE
TO LAUNCH MARCH 5TH
MOVIEMIKES.COM, a web site devoted to films new and old, will launch on Friday, March 5, 2010 in time to spotlight the 82nd Annual Academy Awards.
Created by film buffs Michael Gencarelli and Michael Smith, the site will be a one stop destination for movie fans to get the latest news, trailers and reviews. Also included will be up to date DVD reviews, interviews with industry insiders and a fan comment area.
“With Mike and I writing for several different outlets, it only made sense for us to combine our efforts at one site,” said Smith. “Though we will continue to contribute to those sites our main attention will be on making MovieMikes.com a top destination on the web.”
