This is one of the more interesting sites dedicated to reviewing that I've come across, mostly for the subject matter. See, where most places just do straight movie or video game reviews, this one takes a more abstract approach, using the media to explore philosophical concepts (like 8-Bit Philosophy, which addresses problems of both antiquity and current events with an NES-style presentation), interpretation of film meaning (Earthling Cinema, where an alien analyzes film and television) and even a rather untapped avenue - book reviews (Thug Notes, in which a typical "thug" [gang member] breaks down significant titles of both classic and modern literature). I think it's definitely worth looking at, especially if you are inclined to explore outside of the proverbial box.

Note: They also have a YouTube channel, if you'd much prefer that (https://www.youtube.com/user/thugnotes).

I watched the thug notes for wuthering heights, and a few other videos. Pretty good website concept. I like their different takes on making engaging reviews of material.
