Social movie review web site FilmCrave recently released a new API (our FilmCrave API Profile) that provides developers with access to various types of content, including member movie reviews, movie plots, and movie ratings. Originally developed as an API for use by one of its business partners, FilmCrave decided to make the API publicly available in order to encourage third parties to integrate FilmCrave’s content with other web sites.
According to Alex Olson, Co-Founder of FilmCrave:
We wanted to prove that we’re truly an entertainment website and not just a social network. The hope is that other movie sites, such as theater companies and DVD rental places, will embrace the FilmCrave API to enhance their users’ experience, improving brand loyalty.
Content accessible via the API includes:
Documentation is available for developers who sign up for the API (this includes reviewing and signing an API License Agreement). You can check out the first mashup developed with the API by checking movies listed at HiDefDVD (our HiDefDVD Mashup Profile).
Be sure to check out some similar APIs, including the VideoDetective API, the Netflix API, and The New York Times Movie Reviews API.

Looks promising. Reviews look good and I like the availability. It is tough to find movie data sometimes.

Updated note on the API: We have launched a monthly movie data plan starting as low as $99. This entitles you to use the API on mobile applications. In addition, the paid plan gives movie titles, release schedules and more. The free version is not intended for mobile applications (and can not be used for mobile applications).
