2. The Internet Movie Database (IMDb)
http://www.imdb.com/This is the biggest Internet database of movies. You can found out the current and upcoming movies' information bu clicking the left column: "Opening this week" and "Coming soon".There will show some images and the basic information of the film. Also, there is a message board, you can see some comments of that movie too. If you want to buy DVD or Blu-ray, they would also lead you to the amazon pages.
What should I do if I want to find some information of the old movies?
1. The Internet Movie Database (IMDb)
Sure! The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) can give you a favour! You just need to type the movie name on the search bar, then you can find the movie you like! However, for the Hong Kong films, such as "Shaolin Soccer", after you input the name of the movie in the search bar, you would find that the results show the film name on Cantonese Pinyin: "Siu lam juk kau", it would not show the international title on the heading.
2. Chinese movie database (Chinese only)http://www.dianying.com/
For the Chinese movies, you may find it on this database. Also, Just like I had done on IMDb before, I tried to find "Shaolin Soccer"(2001) on this database and it can find it successfully. However, when I tried to find other Hong Kong movie such as "Golden Chicken" (2002), I cannot find it on this database, but on IMDb. For the latest movies, it seems to be no problem. This is an alternative way for those who want to find Chinese movies on a database in Chinese.
So, you see? To find the latest information on the Internet is just a piece of cake! If you want to know more about movies, expecially current and upcoming movies, visit these sites!
