About
Wondering which new movie to watch this weekend? Want to know which movie did great at the box office and which received rotten tomatoes? Visit RottenTomatoes.com. This site not only tells you about movies but it also has lot of game reviews and previews.

Each movie listed at Rotten Tomatoes has a snippet, a review, trailer(s), clip(s), and a forum and news section of its own. You can also find out how big of an opening a particular movie received in terms of US$ or how much money did it make at the box office.

You can even buy movie tickets and posters, DVDs, games, and more from the Rotten Tomatoes online shop.

Rotten Tomatoes Recommendation Tools

• Certified Fresh - When a film has 40 reviews, 5 of which are from Cream of the Crop critics, and has a Tomatometer of 75% or higher, it is Certified Fresh by Rotten Tomatoes. It stays “Certified Fresh” unless the film falls below 60%.
  
• TomatoPicker - Browse through our database of over 100,000 movie titles. Filter your results by Tomatometer, genre, subgenre, mpaa rating, decade, year, and/or keywords.
  
• Top Movies - Here, we offer the best reviewed movies of Rotten Tomatoes and the winners from various Awards categories, such as the Oscars and Golden Globes.

Why the site is called ‘Rotten Tomatoes’?
”Back in the days of the open theaters, when a play was particularly atrocious, the audience expressed their dissatisfaction by not only booing and hissing at the stage, but throwing whatever was at hand — vegetables and fruits included. Hence the name Rotten Tomatoes.”

Get ready to FALL IN LOVE this season!!!

http://luvualways.8m.com/

I know this will sound like blowing my own trumpet but as VALENTINES’ DAY is approaching I need to tell you about this great website which I made for only you people who believe in love. I think it will be very useful to you all who are into this and love is a part of their life. Just imagine a website made totally by a single individual person which has the following huge content:

-6 touchy Love stories
-7 pages of Love stanzas
-17 pages of Love gallery - Having over 1000 pictures, posters, wallpapers.
-140 Love poems
-18 pages of Love lines
-7 pages of Love proverbs - 100s of them
-17 pages of Love Quotes - 1000s of them
-29 Love Fun-n-Truth
-9 Love song lyrics
-23 of the feedbacks received till date
-44 chapters of Love Basics

What do you think about all this? Imaginary isn’t it. But friends it was out of my passion and love for someone special that I made this website.

The first page takes time to load because of a hot, passionate picture which makes the door to enter the main website. Once inside things work out faster. Please bear with the geocities add. When I made this website I knew about only the Geocities.com as the free website hosting website. The navigation sstem is also a unique and good one. The main USP is the Picture gallery which is perhaps the largest of its kind.

So ready to FALL IN LOVE this season. Do you still believe me or not!!!

You are sure to wonder that why you never knew that every day in the year has a special occasion. All main occasions and festivals are listed. Even the ones you never knew existed on this earth.

This is what the website has to say. I would say it is really a very humble speak out to people who want to know about them.

“123Greetings.com is all about touching lives, bridging distances, healing rifts and building bonds.

123Greetings.com has a gallery of over 25,000 ecards & covers over 2,000 festivals/ events. The universal appeal of greeting cards attracts a wide cross-section of the online population. Our sponsors have the advantage of addressing the mass market as well the minor niche groups.

Women continue to be dominant greeting card users. A NetSearch survey suggests that women, who account for 70% of all retail sales, will use the Internet while deciding what and what not to buy.”
