"The Movie Review Query Engine (MRQE) is a database of links to online reviews (written by professionals and amateurs and drawn from hundreds of sources including newspapers, magazines and fan sites) along with other articles covering over 30,000 movies from all over the world. Users can search the MRQE using all or part of a film's title or consult pre-compiled lists of films, including films featured at various festivals, the top 10 films at the U.S. Box Office, recent video releases, most reviewed titles, and Academy Award nominees. Although the lack of search capability by any field other than film title could be seen as a drawback, the MRQE does provide links wherever possible to the vast Internet Movie Database, (http://www.imdb.com/) selected for the MARS Best 1999 list.
