Movie Websites Launches for February 4 - February 10

During the past week promotional websites for several movies were launched and some older ones added additional content. Here the list of this week's releases, a couple of new sites and few updates, including this week's winner, The Jacket - Official Site. If you know of any new movie websites not on this list feel free to e-mail me with the details.


Aeon Flux
Current Content: Nothing but the logo so far.


The Amityville Horror
Current Content: Quite a bit new on the site this week, including a whole mess of information on the murders that took place in the house. They are still pushing the "Based on a true story" aspect a little too hard, especially since the whole haunted house part of the story was proven to be a hoax before the first film was even released.


Batman Begins
Current Content: There was a substantial redesign on the site and quite a bit of new content was added, new TV spot, interviews with some of the crew, etc. It still feels like a placeholder site and the full, flash site should launch as the July 17th release date nears.


Be Cool
Current Content: An interactive feature was added to the site, "Make Your Own Video!" It's an interesting idea, but there's not enough options to live up to its potential.


Beauty Shop
Current Content: The opening of the site underwent a redesign, but there's no new content inside. Strange.


Bride and Prejudice
Current Content: A Miramax movie site that doesn't suck, what a novel concept. Granted, the content level is still below most other sites with just the synopsis, cast bios, director bio, trailer and soundboard.


The Chosen One
Current Content: There's been an update. It's been a long time since I first mentioned this site and since then there's been no updates. But this week they added a, "Happy 2005!" and a promise to add more information soon.


The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
Current Content: This site has been up for a long, long time, but there's still very little information on the movie itself. However, if you've never read the book, there's plenty of background information.


Constantine
Current Content: The crew bios and production notes were added to the site, and the production notes were much more extensive than expected.


Cry Wolf
Current Content: Just the trailer so far.


Cursed
Current Content: Just the trailer so far.


The Devil's Rejects
Current Content: Baby's bio was added, but I can't get to it because I'm not American.


Diary of a Mad Black Woman
Current Content: The first entry of the director's diary was added to the site.


Fighting Tommy Riley
Current Content: Simple site with just the synopsis, cast and crew bios, image gallery and trailer.


Herbie: Fully Loaded
Current Content: Just the synopsis, image gallery and a behind the scenes clip so far. But bewared, the site is moving really slowly at the moment.


Hitch
Current Content: Like I said when the flash site first launched, there's a large focus on relationship advice and less on the movie itself. That's not to say there's not much information on the movie as it has all the usual features, there's just a huge amount on first impressions, conversation starters, etc.


The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Current Content: The new poster was added to the production journal.


Inside Deep Throat
Current Content: Theatre listings were added in time for tomorrow's theatrical release.


The Jacket
Current Content: There's a new interactive flash feature where you click a lot and see some video clips and hear garbled quotes from the movie. In other words, it's a whole lot of style without much sense. It takes a long time to navigate through it all and you do get glimpses inside the movie, but it's more for setting up mood than anything else. Add in the regular features on the rest of the site, (including a section called, "Check Yourself In" that's marked coming soon and you have the winner of the discombobulated Weekly Website Award.


The Letter
Current Content: Just the synopsis, reviews and image gallery.


Mail Order Wife
Current Content: Simple site with just the synopsis, cast and crew list, (no bios), image gallery and video section marked coming soon. For more detailed information, there is a press kit to download.


National Lampoon's Black Ball
Current Content: A recipe for a cocktail called the Flaming Black Ball was added to the site.


Ong-Bak
Current Content: Good site will all the usual features, synopsis, cast, crew and character bios, image gallery, and trailers / promotional clips.


Pooh's Heffalump Movie
Current Content: Seven video clips were added to the sites.


Robots
Current Content: The Super Bowl spot was added to the site.


The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants
Current Content: The synopsis and the poster were added to the site.


Smile
Current Content: Just the synopsis so far.


Uncle Nino
Current Content: Simple site with the synopsis, cast and crew bios, image gallery, (with very hi-res images), trailer and theatre listing.


War of the Worlds
Current Content: Another site that added their Super Bowl spot.


Watchmen
Current Content: Nothing. Not even the name of the movie.


The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill
Current Content: Another simple site, this one has most of the information in the press kit, which you can download.


XXX: State of the Union
Current Content: New flash site launched this week. And while there's a lot of sound and animation, I'm just not getting exciting about the movie. This site does have all the usual information and a section called NSA Profile marked coming soon.


The Year of Yao
Current Content: Nothing but the name so far.
