Movie Tome is the sister site for TV Tome, now the CNET website TV.com. Whereas TV Tome, had TV shows and people pages, Movie Tome has movie guides. The website was created in November 2003, and was owned by Collaborative Content, LLC which was acquired by CNET in February 2005. Movie Tome has six general forums in addition to a forum for each movie.
Each movie information page at Movie Tome includes release information, cast, crew, synopsis, recap, notes, goofs, links, and a forum for discussion of the movie. The majority of titles on the site appear to be of recent vintage, however, with a wide smattering of pre-2000 titles, largely American.
All members of TV Tome were also members of Movie Tome. They retained their membership at Movie Tome when TV Tome was converted into TV.com.
Generally, the editing/submission format is exactly the same as the original TV Tome. However, in recent months, the site has only shown interest in new releases; submitted new titles for older films, even with an offer to serve as editor, have been ignored.
Although Movie Tome is now owned by CNET, there has been no announcement for any sort of conversion plans ("yet," hints the webmaster) and the site does not currently bear any CNET resemblance, advertising or banners. A good number of regular forum posters suggest that the site is effectively dead.
