Mike D'Angelo: The Man Who Viewed Too Much
Theo Panayides' Century of Movies
World Cinema This site, run by an anonymous Canadian, contains a wealth of critical and biographical information on a number of foreign filmmakers and actors. How many North Americans (apart from me, of course) would put up essays on Leos Carax, Philippe Garrel or Michael Haneke?
Philip Brophy An Australian critic/filmmaker/musician who's written a great deal on horror movies and film music and sound design; some broken links and navigational glitches.
Shelly Kraicer Devoted exclusively to Chinese cinema; many reviews, although updates are infrequent.
Full Alert Film Review An extremely adventurous site, formerly called "World Cinema Review" until the motherfuckers at Bravo, who've copyrighted the term "world cinema," threatened a lawsuit.
The Life and Art of Vern Proves that Andy Kaufman's spirit lives on.
Hong Kong Digital Provides weekly updates on HK film, written by Canadian critic John Charles, a frequent VIDEO WATCHDOG contributor.

TRAFIC A bare-bones site for this reportedly excellent magazine, founded by Serge Daney shortly before his death. (Since it's not distributed in the U.S. and subscriptions are ridiculously expensive, I've never seen it.) It includes a table of contents for each issue and a subscription form. In French.
24 Images A Quebec mag (all text in French) with some interesting interviews. Most of the content of latest issue appears to be up.
