Videohound is nice too, has more eye candy but is not as decent as this program at finding films and raw searching. At $20 a year for the updates I'll hold off a few years before paying again as most of the movies I like are old anyhow...

Paper May be Dead
I got VideoHound a couple of years ago because it promised to allow me to try the whole thing before buying. I think the Maltin's Demo version only has a few hundred titles. I like VideoHound, but the text is quite limited, about 1/2 what I have come to expect from Maltins. Is this PDA version the full text from the paper version? Anyone know?
I can't tell you how handy it is to have this with me all the time. At the video store I can check out any movie any time. At work I can find out the star of the movie from practically any year and impress everyone with the names of every other movie that star ever appeared in. Handy.
