Movie Guide For The Serious Buff
Posted by Brad Adrian in "SOFTWARE" @ 01:00 AM
I don't usually like to post about software that's not available yet, mostly because I don't want to be part of spreading rumors about vaporware. In this case, though, here's something that a lot of you might be waiting for: the Leonard Maltin Movie Guide For Pocket PC.
"Think of all the time you have spent watching films that haven't lived up to the studio hype. Now with a few taps of the stylus you can find the gems and side step the turkeys. The Leonard Maltin Movie Guide places essential facts for over 19,600 films at your fingertips including ratings and capsule reviews summarizing plot quality and often great tidbits of information."
Other key features include:
Complete details and capsule reviews of over 19,600 films
More than 6,500 DVD, 7,000 Laserdisc and 14,000 Videocassette entries
Easy-to-read symbols detailing MPAA rating, WideScreen formats, awards etc.
Filmographies for over 35,000 Actors, Actresses and Directors
Top lists of popular movies as voted by over 100,000 regular movie-goers
Complete film library, rental and buying list management
Online event calendar keeps you in touch with DVD release dates, new releases in theatres and film festivals
Full support for removable expansion card media
Unfortunately, the Web site gives absolutely no indication of when the movie guide, which is "still in production," will be available. However, if you'd like to get an e-mail notification when it is ready, all you have to do is sign up here.
