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 Ocean's Twelve - Official Site. If you know of any new movie websites not on this list feel free to e-mail me with the details.
Are We There Yet?
Current Content: The flash site launched this week and while the regular features are all there it's the video introductions that are the main drawing feature. There are also a couple of simple games to play and the Luggage Toss could be addictive to some.
The Aryan Couple
Current Content: No changes since last week.
Bewitched
Current Content: The teaser trailer was added to the placeholder site, and it is not effective at all.
Blade: Trinity
Current Content: Another video was added to this award-winning site, this one showing Blade and Abigail getting ready to fight. Also added to the site was a second photo gallery with almost a dozen new images.
Closer
Current Content: No changes since the site won the award.
Coach Carter
Current Content: The flash site launched during the past week and it's a good start with excellent background music but too much of the content is missing for a final judgement. Cast and crew bios, games, promotions and clips are among the features missing and how well they are done will go along way to determining if this is an award-winning site or not.
Conspiracy of Silence
Current Content: Simple site with just the synopsis, cast and crew bios, production notes and a broken link to the trailer.
Darkness
Current Content: There's a new site for the domestic release, and although it’s a step above most Miramax sites in terms of design, there's just the trailer so far.
Diary of a Mad Black Woman
Current Content: The synopsis and the image gallery were added to the site.
Fat Albert
Current Content: Another flash site that launched this week, this one is a little light on content with just the synopsis, character bios, image gallery and the trailer. There is a game marked coming soon and hopeful cast and crew bios as well as production notes will be added in time.
Flight of the Phoenix
Current Content: The site launched some tie back, but it slipped in under my radar. So far the only content on the site is the synopsis, image gallery and trailer, although there are short animated intros.
House of Flying Daggers
Current Content: Nothing new since the last update.
I Am David
Current Content: No changes since the flash site first launched.
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
Current Content: Massive update this week as the cast and crew bios, production note and behinds the scenes were added to the site. Also added were four more character profiles, which include plenty more to download and at least two games. Easily the best site on this week's list, but it has already won the Weekly Website Award.
The Magic Roundabout
Current Content: Just the trailer so far.
Ocean's Twelve
Current Content: With the release just a week away the flash site has launched. The site has excellent background music with a few clips that loop well and plenty of animation between sections. The site has all the usual features: synopsis, cast and crew bios, production notes, image gallery and two trailers, but the largest section was for the production notes, which includes sections on the characters, the clothes, the setting and more. There are a few pieces left marked coming soon in the video section, an additional trailer and TV spots, which should be on the site by next week. Even without the extra videos, there's no question that this is the winner of the filched Weekly Website Awards, the real question is, if the movie's called Ocean's Twelve, why are there only 8 people in the intro.
Oliver Twist
Current Content: Placeholder site with just a little information about how the film got started and a link to an educator's guide.
The Sea Inside
Current Content: There's plenty of information on the site, but little in the way of flash.
Serenity
Current Content: The release date has been changed and the site was updated and I was expecting a new blog entry on that front, but none so far.
The Silencer
Current Content: Just the trailer so far.
A Talking Picture
Current Content: Simple site with synopsis, cast and crew list, director's statement, image gallery, trailer and several clips.
War of the Worlds
Current Content: No content so far, but the picture's cool.
The Wedding Date
Current Content: Simple placeholder site with just the synopsis, image gallery and the trailer, or to be more accurate a link to the trailer.
The Woodsman
Current Content: Another new flash site that launched this week, this one is short on content with just the synopsis, cast bios, crew list, image gallery and the trailer. But at least has some sound and animation in the form of clips from the movie introducing each section and additional clips play if you wait long enough.
