Hey, check out the site we're working on: www.criticrania.com. We're doing exactly what you mention. You'll need to sign up to see these features, but it's something we're working hard towards perfecting.
Thus is born a system in which everyone is happy. The site will get more ratings because people want the algorithm to be better and it needs more data for that.
The movies will be happy because this points to legal ways to find movies.
We'll all be happy because it's a complex solution to a complex problem and yet it can still be solved in an elegant and visually stimulating way. (I.E. you could color code the reviewers who are more likely to be similar to yours)
