Provided your site is not a commercial site.
Even then the copyright owners can get mad, but they usually ignore non-commercial sites. The laws is clear the only way you can legally use copyrighted material is with the written permission of the author.
I a reviewer quotes a line from a book or a film and then publishes the review, even if he is telling people to read the book and to watch the film he needs to have permission of the copyright holder to use the quote.
Traditionally though if the use is noncommercial then the copywrite is not considered to be infringed upon so no case will be made. Just be clear to credit the owners and to say that you are using their work without their permission. This is enough to keep you safe 99% of the time.

Different companies have different policy. It will be best if you can send an email to the company to query about that. You do not want to get sued for something as trivial as that, do you?
