Rottentomatoes looks good.

Was talking about this with a mate of mine yesterday and he mentioned some new site called Stazoo.com seems to be reviews based off of twitter. Anybody else checked this out?

Yes, we did 28 movie reviews last month with about the same planned for this month.

There also is Metacritic which does a better job in arriving at overall scores than Rottentomatoes. Rottentomatoes only divides reviews into positive and negative. How they arrive at a judgement with mixed or average verdicts is often rather random. Largely positive reviews can be counted as negative and the other way round. Metcritics divides reviews into positive, mixed and negative, which is a more measured approach IMO.

Metacritic - Movie Reviews, TV Reviews, Game Reviews, and Music Reviews

I actually feel a sense of relief when Kernode and Mayo are on holiday.
