The Internet Movie Database (IMDb), an Amazon.com company, has just released a free iPhone app [iTunes Link] that puts the power of the huge repository of movie facts, fables, and trivia into the palm of your hand.
The first page of the app displays three major areas: Movies, TV, and People. There’s also an Application area, which is used only to display information about the App. Movies is subdivided into Showtimes, Coming Soon, US Box Office Results, MOVIEmeter, and the Top 250 Movies. Tapping Coming Soon brings up details about upcoming movies releases, including trailers that can be viewed on the phone. I love the Top 250 Movies, which is a list of the movies rated highest by IMDb readers. It’s a treasure trove of information about many of the classic movies of all time.
IMDb’s TV section is split into US TV Tonight, which is a schedule of upcoming shows on the major networks, and US TV Recaps, which provides full text synopses of what has happened on top TV shows during the previous week. Under the People heading, there’s both STARmeter, which shows a listing of the top 25 stars as measured by the number of times that they’ve been searched for on IMDb, and Born Today, which lists actors (living and dead) who were born on the current day.
If you love movies and TV, or searching trivia about roles, actors, and directors, then you probably already spend a lot of time with IMDb. The iPhone app is just the icing on the IMDb cake, and as a free app it should be on the home screen of every movie fan’s iPhone. Check out the screen screen shots of IMDb at the bottom.
I gave a shout out below to an old friend from High School, Shawn Hatosy. He is currently in Southland playing the part of Detective Sammy Bryant. He has also been in the recently released movie Public Enemies with Johnny Depp. Check out his full bio when you download IMDb from the iTunes Store.
