Rather than that, you should look at nepomuk-metadata-extractor (see
http://joerg-weblog.blogspot.de/2012/02/nepomuk-metadata-web-extraction.html
).  In short, it is a plugin-based system to download metadata for
arbitrary files from any arbitrary website based on plugins and load
it into nepomuk.  It should already be able to handle getting movie
data from imdb.  I don't think it automatically scans removable media,
though, so you would probably need to implement that part of it.
