App of the Week: IMDB

24 August 2012

I consider myself a bit of a movie/TV show savant. As bad as my short-term memory is getting as I age, I’m still hanging on to information about movies and shows and the actors who appear in them.

But even I need help sometimes. For more than a decade, I’ve relied on the Internet Movie Database or IMDB to give me the info I need on any movie or actor (or director, crew member, etc).

And now I have the database on my iPhone. The IMDB is a well designed portal to the massive entertainment database that powers IMDB. It’s easy to use. Attractive. And totally handy. I use it at least weekly, probably more often, when I’m trying to think of a name or title.

My only complaint with IMDB is that it makes my superpower of movie recall even less useful!
