Alternative Movie Database

Version 1.4 Beta 1

I've written a local Interface to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) for Win32 (Windows32 and Windows NT) called Alternative Movie Database (AMDb). It contains both a graphical and command line interface to the IMDb.

It's purpose is to give you fast and easy access to the information of the IMDb without the need to go online.

Examples

Here are some examples on how the AMDb is queried. Just click on commandlines to view the output they create:

To get the filmography of Arnold Schwarzenegger, just type
```
name -n "schwarzenegger"
```
at your commandline.
To get information on the movie "Terminator 2", enter
```
title -t "terminator 2: judgment day"
```
To get the list of movies on which both Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron worked, use
```
name -n "schwarzenegger" -n "cameron, james"
```

It is even easier to query the database using the graphical interface.

If you want a preview, here is a sample screenshot.
