A Must Have App: iPhone Mobile Movie Guide

If you really want to use your iPhone movie information to best results, the trick is to know when to use it to really make yourself look like an expert! Wielded wisely, it is one of the best tools available for impressing all of your friends. It can really be like a miniature Roger Ebert in your pocket. Here are a few questions you can always answer with the guide...

What Was His Name Again...?

Whenever you're in the middle of a conversation and you suddenly space on the name of an actor that you SHOULD be able to name, just whip out the ol' iPhone movie information. You can figure out who it was by cross referencing the movies you know they've been. "Let's see, he was one of the bank robbers in Heat, and he was in True Romance and Natural Born Killers... Ah! Tom Sizemore!" Sooner or later, we all have those "senior moments" no matter how old we are, where we forget things that we know by heart. iPhones have been remedying this problem from the beginning.

So... What do YOU Want to See?

This is, of course, the primary function of a movie guide. If there are a dozen movies on cable and you don't feel like going to your computer to look them up, if you're at the theater and can't decide which movie to see, or if you have a few bucks to blow where you buy your DVDs and don't mind taking a chance on something you haven't seen before, the movie guide is there for you. It can really help settle debates on what to see by simply looking at what's getting the best reviews or which one sounds more entertaining.

Wait, Wasn't He Dead?

You can keep tabs on all your favorite film makers and actors by just seeing if they have any new movies out. These days, the major studios own all the theaters, so the movies that used to be given releases are now given indie or straight to DVD release, and this is where a lot of talented actors and film makers have gone. So if nothing else, you can keep tabs on these guys and look like an expert since you always seem to know exactly what Corey Feldman is doing even though nobody's heard from him in years. Of course... You may mainly seem like an expert on direct to DVD releases and cable channel originals, but hey, everyone needs a niche, right?

Was That One Any Good?

Next time you're in line at the movie theater, undecided, and you're up next, just do a quick look at what's playing right now on your iPhone personal movie and TV companion. You want action? See which one gets the best reviews from sites like Aintitcool. Comedy? Look and see on your iPhone personal movie and TV companion which one people are saying is funniest. Obviously, it's fairly subjective and all, but that doesn't mean that you can't gauge and predict your own response to the film by seeing what other people have said. After all, the reason hardcore action junkies love Shootemup is for the same reasons all the serious critics hated the movie.
