The first time I came across IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base), was about 15 years ago. When ever I’d search for information regarding a movie, or a star et al, especially when I worked as a journalist here, I’d come across IMDB. Then in 2002, when I went to England, to do MA in International Cinema, at the University of Luton, Luton, UK; our lecturer recommended the site, as being the webpage, with closest to accurate information, at least so far as English language films were concerned, especially of classic Hollywood. So since then, I’ve been an avid fan of the IMDB page.
Cinema Literature: Closer (2004), was my first little Critique on IMDB, back in September 2005.
But it was 10 years ago, that I joined in, contributing my filmi knowledge onto IMDB, through critiques, making lists, rating films et al. IMDB gave me a platform to write, long before I even knew there was such thing called a BLOG. I’ve been considerably less active on IMDB, writing wise, since I started blogging, tweeting, facebooking, and now on the nu (new) website. Yet, I still do rate films I watch, and if I come across a movie I’ve seen that I haven’t rated, I don’t hesitate to do so. Even if I’d watched the said film, 20 to 30, odd, years ago.
So do check out my profile page: Nuwan Sen, on IMDB, and go through my ratings, writings & everything else related to films.
Enjoy!

I’m grateful to IMDB, too. I always go there for cast lists, trivia, etc.
I know, it’s best website for film buffs. Isn’t it?
I’ve just been browsing through some of the ratings on your IMDb profile page.
I take it you weren’t impressed by Jurassic World?
Ha!! Not at all.
The special effects were really good, but that’s about it. The story/narrative/plot was utterly silly and useless. It was just an idiotic chase film, with cheesy moments. Yeah! The rugged hero kisses the Ice Queen, and she melts. Beats me why a love interest was necessary at all.
And the way they roped in, superb, non-Hollywood actors, with great talent, like Irrfan Khan and Omar Sy, and used them in minuscule, dull roles, was disappointing.
I never really expected Jurassic World to be excellent, but didn’t think it would end up being soooo pathetic. A total waste of time. And the 3D experience here, don’t let me even get started on that.
Jurassic Park was really good. Post that none have come to that standard. The Lost World was really bad, but Jurassic Park III was not that bad, ‘twas OK actually.
Thanks for checking out my IMDB page as well.
I have always used IMDB for cast list and ratings ..it had been great
It sure is!! Thanks for visiting!
