The best interface I've seen is vudu on the ps3. You get rotten tomatoes scores, review summaries, wiki, etc. You can watch trailers and preview the first 2 minutes of any movie they have available (though it kinda sucks that this is often mostly opening credits). Plus the a/v quality is outstanding.

Starz on Xbox Streaming Supports Parties
Reader Chris discovered that Starz on Netflix streaming finally supports party movie watching.
