Anyone know of any sites strictly for small budget/indie film reviews? I'd like to not have to weed through all the Hollywood crap when trying to find films I'd maybe go see.

Funny you posted this because I've been looking for the same thing.

I like Twitch.They cover alot of the smaller films that slip through the cracks.They'll review big Hollywood geek films but mainly focus on world cinema.

for what you're looking for http://www.indiewire.com/reviews/ isn't bad.

there's other stuff out there. i don't mind weeding through the hollywood stuff and usually know what i'm looking for. http://www.imdb.com/nowplaying/ keep a decent list of limited releases as does http://boxofficemojo.com/schedule/ the nice thing about those being that you're never too far from viewer/critic responses and showtimes. http://www.avclub.com/reviews/film/ requires more blockbuster-weeding, but they're thorough with weekly releases and generally succinct. metacritic and rotten tomatoes both keep pretty comprehensive critic aggregate top-of-year lists.

http://awardscircuit.com/ isn't all that useful between now and early summer, but once the campaigns get going it's a good place to stop in and track the independent films on the road to various awards/nominations.

Also, MUBI is sorta the free streaming site of movies that are more indie than box-officey. You may check that out, too.

When it comes to reviews, I use different sites for different things, but for film overall I occasionally hit Twitch or AICN (though I dont know why, since I practically never agree with AICN).

MUBI is awesome, especially given that you can actually view independent/international movies there for low prices (sometimes for free.)

Cool thanks for all the input guys, now all I have to do is move back to a city that actually shows indie movies (and not 5 months late)

I guess a Coen Brothers film isn't really a indie indie film but still not mainstream. I'm going to see "Inside Llewyn Davis" today (it finally arrived in Buffalo at a indie theater a month late). Anyone else see it? Thoughts? Looks good from the trailers. Also pretty excited for 'Grand Hotel Budapest' in March, but then again I thought 'Moonrise Kingdom' and 'Darjeeling Limited' both started off strong but fizzled out in the end.

i've been using www.letterboxd.com as a movie diary/log and as a way to discover new stuff to check out. tons of lists and reviews for pretty much everything in any genre. a great timewaster, and i've found out about plenty of cool movies i would have had no idea about otherwise.
