Its great how IMDB rating is linked, but it seems to only update it when its added. A lot of the new movies that were at 0.0 rating (because they were added to listal before they were released) still have a 0.0 rating, many months afterwards. maybe a monthly IMDB update check on all movies in database might be needed, or a manual 'refresh with IMDB' button so users can force an update if they notice its not the same as whats currently on IMDB.

Also, the movie info pages look a bit bland, missing any decription/review info on the left side, how DVD section have Amazon reviews.

But it would be good to have some sort of review on there. Maybe not the amazon one, as they usually talk about extra features on DVD, and even IMDB plot outlines are user-inputted, but we might need something there. How about linking to Rotten Tomatoes movie reviews? or maybe use some of IMDB's plot outlines? basically, a good summary of the movie would be helpful in there, but it should be moderated so no spoilers get in there.

Agreeded on all points, I definitely want to redo the whole view item page soon.

I am making good progress on the items listed in 'Planned features' and this will be part of that.
