Site to SEE: - want reviews of international, independent and socially conscious books/films - see MyFavoriteReview:
Myfavoritereview.com has indeed become my favorite review of some of the best independent, international and socially conscious films and books on the market. There is the added advantage of the enlightening interviews with the filmmakers and up to date information on film festivals of interest. It is a wonderful resource for the community who seeks entertainment that enlightens, inspires and educates. This site is especially resourceful for illuminating the dynamics of the Muslim culture with their publication of Muslim cinema and the top 101 films made by or about Muslims. Myfavoritereview.com is singular in providing this treasure trove of entertainment choices.
