MatchFlick Expands Film News & Reviews for Movie Fans and Dating
Growing Membership Now Enjoys an In-Depth View of Hollywood and Filmmaking
SAN FRANCISCO -- August 22, 2005 -- MatchFlick, the
biggest online community for movie lovers, today
announced expansion of its editorial features with
nine new film industry columnists, covering the best
movies for dating, rising stars, and the business of
movie-making, along with the site's staple film
reviews and top picks for different occasions. Other
new features include: Movie News, The Movie Dude blog,
favorite films and actors rankings, Red Carpet
membership, and more.
New editorial columns at MatchFlick include: Best Date
Movies, The Business of Show, Hollywood Works, The DVD
Guy, Smoke and Mirrors, Review of the Review, I'll Be
Back... Again, Take One Look, and Ask a Bitter Man, by
Lance Norris. Lance is a movie reviewer for WZLX-FM in
Boston, author of Ask A Bitter Man: The Best of 1984 -
1999, and has written for National Lampoon and TV's
Politically Incorrect. Now, members can plug into the
Hollywood buzz while sharing their passion for movie
genres and filmmaking, posting personal movie reviews
and commentary, or planning movie dates and parties.
"Today there is so little love in the world," said
Lance Norris, MatchFlick columnist. "I will do
whatever I can to foster its growth -- be it through
love of movies or bringing two people together. Like
Will Smith (the Date Doctor in Hitch), I want to help
happiness and love to find its way in this world."
"Since its inception in January, MatchFlick has grown
to more than 30,000 visitors each month," said
MatchFlick Founder and CEO, Seth Leonard. "We serve
the real need for enthusiast-based interaction and
dating, and will continue to innovate new features
that add value for our popular movie fan community."
The 'Movie News' section offers updates on new and
upcoming films, as well as celebrity and movie maker
rumors, while 'The Movie Blog' is one dude's take on
the movie world. Besides new in-depth reporting on a
wider range of movie-related topics with unique
perspective, MatchFlick is the best place to make
friends and to find a date for the movies. The new
'Red Carpet Membership' optimizes the search for other
members with similar interests and movie favorites;
the 'Showtimes' section offers members custom local
showtimes for the movies they want to see; and the
'Most Popular' section shows the favorite film and
actor rankings among members, men and women, and
geographic areas.
