Movies & Netflix & Twitter oh my!

MyMovieList is a nice little app on the iPhone/iPod Touch that lets you manage what movies you have watched, who your favorite actors and directors are, share your list on Twitter, and even order movies from Netflix.

When you first open the app it defaults you to the Search tab. The interface of this tab is pretty straight forward. Search by actor/actress, director, movie name, year the movie was released, or the genre. When I first went to "Search by name" I was astonished at how many movies can be in such a small application. It lists, what I am guessing, thousands of movies. Luckily there is the alphabet scrolling thingy on the left, and a search field at the top. Under the "Favorites" tab, it shows all of the actors, actresses, and directors you have marked. "iWatched" shows all of the movies you have marked. When you tap one of the movies you have searched, it shows when the movie was released, how long it is, the director, and all of the actors. This feature is pretty nice if you are in a conversation with someone and you are trying to remember the actor or director of a movie. Or if you are just plain curious, that works too. Last, under the "Share" tab, you can share your list with your Twitter followers.

The interface that MyMovieList has is very plain and simple, which I believe is all this app needs. Not too much and not too little.The repository this app contains is incredible. There are so many movies listed, including new movies, such as Jennifer's Body. This application is a great movie reference. If I were to choose the price for this price, I would choose either free (and place an adsomewhere) or 99 cents.
