by on
Leave a comment
IMDb is always the first source of information for movies and TV series. It helps you find something good to watch, get information on the cast and release date of your favorite upcoming movie or TV show and much more. IMDb is possibly the Wikipedia of TV and Film, and many websites not only credit it as a source, but also link to it when providing details for a movie. If you’re a movie junkie or a film and TV trivia fan, you'll definitely like the Chrome extension IMDb Info. This customizable extension shows previews of IMDb links within the same tab, allowing you to enjoy a world of information with as little effort as possible. By default, the extension will display previews for almost all IMDb links that point to additional info, but you can choose to skip information about directors, writers, genre, length, titles and much more. Additionally, it lets you add an option to the right-click context menu for quickly selecting and searching text on IMDb. Read More

View Rotten Tomatoes Movie Ratings On IMDb Pages [Chrome]

If you’re looking for something to kill time or a really great movie to watch, you can always head over to IMDb and check one of the many user lists or use the ratings as a fairly accurate guide, but if you prefer a second opinion, try IMDBRT. It’s a Chrome extension that adds ratings from Rotten Tomatoes (Flixster) to the IMDb page of a movie. The extension merely adds convenience to your movie search; you can always head over to Rotten Tomatoes and look up a movie yourself, but that would mean visiting two different websites, which requires time that most people would rather not spend. With the extension installed, the Rotten Tomatoes rating appears just below the IMDb one and you can read the first few lines of a movies review. The ratings include both the Tomatoemeter and the overall percentage of the movie’s audience that’s given it a rating higher than 3.5. Read More

The last movie explorer that I stumbled across was Movie Central (read review), which, despite impressing me with its elegant Full Screen UI design, didn't support playing movies from within the interface. Luckily, today I discovered another movie catalog program known as GrieeX, which allows setting a default media player to quickly play movies from within the application. This feature-rich application has a lot to offer, such as ability to fetch metadata information, download movie posters and subtitles etc., from numerous online sources, including IMDB, Amazon, Animeinfo and Opensubtitiles. Apart from reading statistics about your movie database, you can view the updated list of IMDb's Top 250 from within the interface. More details after the jump. Read More
