Nice blog post, looking forward to more details about how you leveraged AngularJS. Though I think the service isn't for me, I'd value more the reviews of a million people over the Internet than those of my friends. Just because we're friends it doesn't mean we have the same tastes for movies.
My co-founder Glen who did all the UI work for it is going to write a much more detailed post when the dust settles after launch.
I find it interesting that you prefer the broader "aggregate of the internet" ratings, rather than ratings based on your friends. The longer we run the site, the more we find it's a bit polarising. Some people like the average of the internet, some people like what's essentially a systematic word of mouth setup.
Right, in fact I think both inputs are valuable. Having a nice way to share this info within my social network sounds good. When I like a movie or a TV series I usually post about it on Facebook to share with my friends, but that quickly gets lost in the noise of the timeline, among memes and stuff.
