The uses of IMDB

Have you ever been watching a movie and thought, "Who is that actor?! I have seen them before, but where?" The answer is www.imdb.com. The Internet Movie Database, known as IMDB, is a great resource and I am surprised that there are still so many people out there who have never even heard of it.

But IMDB is so much more than just a resource for looking up actors and movies. You can find out when new movies are coming out and their release dates 6 months or more in advanced. There are trailers and pictures, sign in to see reviews and comments or add your own; Find out what's playing now and what's coming soon to DVD; Buy tickets; There is even a tv guide; And now you can also play games and watch movies!

All on one site, so don't hesitate to add IMDB to your bookmarks and search engine listing!
