I was looking for a movie tonight on IMDb.com (Internet Movie Database) and noticed an ad for an app for the iPhone. I had tried some other apps before so I wasn’t thinking it was going to be a new app. It is new, and it’s from IMDb themselves. What’s great is one, it’s free, and two, it’s a really nice app. Here’s some of the features:
-Over 1.5 million movie and TV titles
-Over 3.2 million celebrities
-US Movie showtimes
-Trailers
-Photos
-US TV listings
-Top ranked movies (MOVIEmeter)
-Top ranked celebrities (STARmeter)
-Celebrity birthdays
-US Box Office results
-Movies coming soon
-Top 250 rated films of all time
This application is not a new one however, it is not one that we have done a review of in the past. i.TV recently got a very nice update so I decided to check it out. I was rather impressed with the application and thought I would pass it along. 
OneTap Movies is an application that allows you to look up theaters in your area, view the movies that are available in those theaters, watch a movie trailers, get a descriptions of movies and a lot more. OneTap Movies is the upgraded version of the free app, Showtimes. When you open OneTap Movies you will get a pop-up asking if OneTapp can use your current locations. Once the application has finished finding your current location, you will get a list of theaters that are near you…starting with the theater closest to you. You are able to see the Name of the theater, it’s address, how far it is from your current location and the ability to map the theater (this will map directions to the theater from your current location using Google Maps). When you select a theater, it will drop down a list of all the movies that are playing in that theater…just tap the theater again to shrink the list. 
Movies.app is a comprehensive movie searching application giving you Theaters in your area, movies that are in those theaters, trailers of movies, maps to the theaters, Box Office info about movies and even movies that are Opening Soon. When you open the application, you will come to the main lookup screen. Here you can enter a Zip code (there is not a locate me features yet but the developer says it will be in the next update), choose if you would like to lookup movies for today, tomorrow or the next day and whether you want to view results based on movies or theater. To get rid of the keyboard after you have entered your zip code, swipe your finger upward on the screen. 
BoxOffice is an application that allows you to search for theaters and movies available in those theaters based on location. When you open the application you will get a blank screen and a lower menu bar with the options; Movies, Theaters and Setting. The first place you will want to go is into the Settings. Here you can either enter a zip code or select the locate icon in the upper left corner and the app will find your current location. You can then choose the radius in which you would like the application to search. The radius options start at 5 miles and go in increments of five up to a 50 mile radius. You can also learn more about the application by selecting the About option. Once you have entered everything into the Settings, you can then choose either the Movies or Theaters option. 
Tomatoes is a simple application that allows you to search for movies… new or old. When you open the application, you will get the main search screen. Once you have enter the title of a the movie you would like to search for, you can select search in the lower right corner of the keyboard. It will then bring up the most relevant movie based on your search. The search results screen will display the title of the video, the year it was released, the rating, the length of the movie, the percentage based on user ratings and general information about the movie (who it was starring and a short description). To go to the next search result, just swipe to the left. If you would like even more information about the video you can tap on the movies title and it will open a web browser to Rotten Tomatoes web page for that movie.
