Website Spotlight: IMDB

Have you ever wondered who a particular actor was in a movie you were watching? Or have you forgotten the title of a particular movie or televsion show?  Well,  why don't you try The Internet Movie Database (http://www.imdb.com/).  This database is a vast source of information.  You can search by a title of a movie or television show and get all the cast and crew information.  You can search by actor (or production member) and get every project they have been in.  You can search by character name if that is all you can remember.  You can also do a search by typing in a plot of a movie or television show.  A neat feature of IMDB is that you can do a "Collaborations and Overlaps" search which allows you to search for people who have worked together on the same film.  You can also find movie reviews, ratings, how much a movie made at the box office, movie trailers and much more.

So the next time you get stuck, why not try IMBD and see if that will help.
