The Anthropology Review Database currently contains 2667 reviews and citations, almost exclusively of books/films/CDs on social anthropology. A cool feature of the site is that they offer review copies to volunteer reviewers: currently there are 162 titles available. So if you feel that you would have something intelligent to say about a book on Japanese American beauty pageants, one on political life in Cairo's New Quarters, or a film about the Karen people of Burma -- then get thee to the web site and sign up for duty.
Thanks to Howard Williams for the tip.
