The January, 2002 issue of Yahoo! Internet Life magazine has its annual "100 Best Sites" article, and FilmWise clocked in at #3 in the Entertainment & Sports category, behind only Shockwave and the Internet Movie Database. WOW!! |
|
| |
The Boyz are surprised, to say the least, especially since most of the sites listed are huge operations, such as ESPN, E! Online and Audio Galaxy. And we're just a couple of Boyz. WOW!! |
| |
Pick up the magazine at your local newsstand, or check out a scan of the write-up that we've posted. WOW!! |

Michael's name was drawn out of the FilmWise hat, so he wins a DVD of his choice. Thanks to all who participated. |

More international praise! Werkverzeichnis, a German website, has given FilmWise a write-up. I plugged the article into AltaVista's translating feature, and got the following translation: |
| |
"A Fim enthusiast has it heavily: There the whole heading full knowledge puts, only to need can mans in the normal life hardly! For all like that suffering Filmwise is made. Each quantity visual and text Quizzes waits here for Cracks, which all large films and each still so insignificant b-Movie. That increases the self-respect equivalent uncommonly." |
