Facing The Giants - Official Site
This is a good site with all the usual features, but there's just not enough to help it stand out.

The Guardian - Official Site
The final three features were added to the site this week. They include information on famous rescues, a look at the equipment and jargon used by the Coast Guard, and a place to submit and read rescue stories. Overall a very good site, just not quite up to the level of an award-winning site.

A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints - Official Site
All the basic are here, (synopsis, cast & crew bios, image gallery, and trailer), with extras in the form of a text based interview and several clips. With good background music, it it's better than most, but can't really rises above the pack.

The Last King of Scotland - Official Site
Not much has changed since the site was last on this site. It is still very strong and sells the movie very well.

Open Season - Official Site
This is what I like to see in a movie website. There's plenty on content including all the usual features, at least usual for an animated film, (synopsis, character bios, image gallery, trailer, video clips), and there are even a ton of extras like several games, behind the scenes featurettes, music video, etc. Add in all the sounds and animation and you have a top-notch site. My only real complaint is the load times, which were a little long tonight, but that's not enough to prevent it from winning the hinterland Weekly Website Award.

School for Scoundrels - Official Site
Very disappointed in this site. There's just the synopsis, trailer, clips, and a few quotes from some reviews. I wasn't even that impressed by the clips that they choose.

The Queen - Official Site
A very simple site with all the usual features but no much in the way of extras.
