Anyone have opinions?  I purchased Landware's Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide as soon as it came out.  However, PocketSensei (makers of Silver Screen) delivers great eye candy in VideoHound.  You have to pay extra to get movie reviews with Rex.

I've been looking for a Palm program that would help me keep track of my DVDs similar to DVDProfiler for the PC and online. http://www.dvdprofiler.com/dvdpro/index.html

MovieMentor is another program that is supposed to do this stuff.

I have yet to purchase LMMG. I don't know why VideoHound and Rex are separate products... plus, do you really need eye candy to get movie information? ;)

I think LMMG is great; however, I have always liked his critical reviews so I have no reason to change.

I really like LMMG - it gives excellent information which can be cross-referenced with a tap & is intuitively laid out.

I did take a look at VideoHound when it came out & felt that the "eye candy" aspect of the program would come at the expense of screen real estate. & might be distracting. VideoHound, with the full descriptions & updates also cost more than LMMG.
