iPhone App of the Week: IMDB

In keeping with the movie theme of my last post...my iPhone App of the
Week is the IMDB app which gives you full access to the amazing movie
database at http://www.imdb.com/

I first got serious with the internet back in late 1994 and 1995 and
the IMDB website was a pretty serious movie resource way back then and
it has turned into the King Kong of movie websites since then. They
pretty much own the search engine rankings for most movies and actors
and directors etc.

This app is a fantastic addition to the service provided by IMDB,
there would be few days that I don't go to the site to look up
something about movies and the App is very fast and probably easier to
navigate than the IMDB site itself. Where it really comes into it's
own is in your local DVD rental store. How often have you stood there
looking at the cover of the DVD thinking I wonder how good this movie
is. Well now you have the massive resources of the IMDB website at
your beck and call.

I think the user rating system for movies on IMDB is pretty good as
well. I wouldn't often watch a movie that rates less than 6 out of
10. Once the ratings over 7/10 then the movie is usually very good
and over 8/10 well then it is a must watch.

And best of all...the App is FREE. Unbelievable!
