DESCRIPTION

Butaca is an application which allows accessing a lot of movie-related information. It uses The Movie Database as a backend, and lets you:
  • Browse movie genres
  • Search for movies and people
  • Shows title, rating, release date, overview and cast for movies
  • Shows name, birthplace, date of birth, biography and filmography for people
  • Allows keeping content as favorite (both movies and people)
  • Allows sharing content using the system share interface
  • Search movie showtimes now from within the application!
  • Check what's on cinemas near you now from within the application as well!

I have contacted the people responsible for What's After the Credits and they have been kind enough to provide me with an API. I will add support for that, so soon you will be able to check for extras after and during the credits

SCREENSHOTS

The following screenshots show the welcome view with a favorite, movies under the comedy genre, the search view and the detailed person view. You can visit Butaca's set at my Flickr gallery to see the rest of the screen shots. A complete screencast is also available: MeeGo / Harmattan applications: Butaca 0.3.5 screencast
