Windows Phone Thoughts: Movie Mastery On The Go: MoviesCE v2.1 Review

Other Features and Options
Patrice has introduced what I think is a fairly unique feature, namely the ability to send MoviesCE users messages via the application itself. These are actually downloaded when you connect to the Internet to search for movie titles, and supposedly cover things like program update news, hints and tips, etc. However I only received one over several weeks of use, so it remains to be seen just how useful this will actually be compared to simply sending emails to registered users.

You can also display a slideshow of your movie covers, where you're treated to the full size cover images in all their glory.

There are various configuration options covering things like the quality of cover images, the default DVD region and the second language to specify sound formats in.

Unfortunately one thing you can't configure is where to store the database files, and as they're not stored in My Documents you'll have to remember to back them up yourself.

You can also define your own categories, sound formats and movie types.
