Sorry for a correction: the web site for movie information is:
http://metajam.mobi/
(no "www" at the front). Because I was composing for the viphone
list, I originally gave the address the way I would type it in Safari:
metajam.mobi/
When I typed in the full link I added "www" by mistake out of habit.
This is basically an easy to use version of the information in the
Internet Movie Database. I think it is also supposed to work better
as a web site for Low Vision users.
Cheers,
Esther

Hi Chris,
You originally wrote:
What I would like is an app that coordinates something like "Rotten
Tomatoes" for the iPhone. An application that lets one look up a
movie or actor or other movie related information and get a fairly
comprehensive article about the search criteria. This may or may not
exist already but I'm not sure what terms to use to search for it.

Hi Chris,
There are apps that have the kind of movie information that you
want, like the imdb app and Leonard Maltin Movie Guide app, but
they're not accessible. The easiest thing might be to bookmark the
Metajam mobile site in your Safari bookmarks:
metajam.mobi/
Just a followup to say that although the "movies by year" listing
page at the <http://www.metjam.mobi/> site for accessing movie
information from the internet movie database hasn't been updated
with a link for 2009, it still grabs the information about recent
movies. I'm cc' ing this information to some other lists, since
there may be general interest in using the metajam.mobi web site.
For iPhone use, you could try contacting the imdb people about
extending accessibility of their app. It's supposed to show you a
list view of entries, but the pages just boink the way the New York
Times app did in its inaccessible version. (In earlier and later
versions of the NY Times app, all the lists read off fine.) So
maybe this would not be a difficult fix to make.
Cheers,
Esther
