Popular movie reviews and news aggregator Rotten Tomatoes has teamed up with the cross-platform upstarts at Current TV to produce a half-hour hybrid aptly named “The Rotten Tomatoes Show” on Current.

In production now with a target air date of early 2009, the program will import the site’s Tomatometer metric and feature crowd-sourced lists and opinions, distributing them online and on Al Gore’s cable channel.

“These are film reviews for the audience and by the audience,” explained David Neuman, Current’s president of programming, in a press release. “The Rotten Tomatoes Show on Current will be as much a collaborative process as Rotten Tomatoes.”

About Voices

This is a section of the All Things Digital Web site featuring posts from around the Web, from other Dow Jones properties and also original pieces we solicit. The section is now explicitly labeled that it comes "from other Web sites."

We are fully aware of the controversies around how linking and aggregating is done on the Web and we, in no way, are attempting to "scrape" original content created by others.

So here is exactly what we do: Read more »

About the Site

Because the site is wholly owned by Dow Jones, publisher of The Wall Street Journal, we aim to adhere to the journalistic standards of the best of the mainstream media.

We want to be first, and sassy, but also well sourced and accurate. We will offer lots of opinion and analysis, but plenty of fact as well.
