MobileAge has teamed with film historian and critic Leonard Maltin to bring the latest edition of his movie guides to a small screen near you.

From Aaron Loves Angela to Zulu Dawn the Leonard Maltin Movie Guide is packed with movies you can't afford to miss — and those you can — from box-office hits to cult classics to forgotten gems to B-grade banality.

MobileAge's special effects department has transformed the 2300 page godzilla of movie references into a weightless form you can access whenever, wherever; Along the way we introduced some plot twists that are just not possible with the print edition.

• Be the first to read Leonard's current picks of the best films playing in theaters.
• Simply enter the first letters of a title, actor or director to immediately find film matches*
• Single tap integration with Netflix video rentals.
• Movie poster artwork

LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR FEEBLE PLOTS AND WOODEN ACTING

The Leonard Maltin Movie Guide places essential facts for over 24,000 films at your fingertips* including consistent ratings and capsule reviews summarizing plot quality and often great tidbits of information.

SINGLE TAP FILMOGRAPHIES

Did you know that Peter Sellers starred in a movie called "Down among the Z Men"? With a single tap you can quickly discover additional films your favorite actor or director has made.

A VIDEO WAREHOUSE IN YOUR POCKET

With a Netflix subscription you can even have the film sent to your doorstep or made available to watch instantly via the internet.

SLICE, DICE, CATEGORIZE.

Don't let great films slip through your fingers; Create your own custom lists to keep track of those random and no-so-random discoveries. Lists can also be remotely backed up.

Leonard Maltin Movie Guide and Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever. These were, and are, massive reference books; the current version of Maltin comes in at 1664 pages, and the current version of Videohound at 1700 pages. You needed a strong coffee table to hold these massive tomes. Today there are ma... Read More

Needs Browse Feature 3.0 stars
By: DownloadsRus
Version: 1.0
This is an ok app but it would be better if it had a browse feature (year, genre, title, actor, etc.)
Looooong Search 3.0 stars
By: Edu Acquarone
Version: 1.0
The biggest problem so far is that the search time is very very long.
Good start to this staple guide 5.0 stars
By: Erick R
Version: 1.0
I think this is an excellent start to a guide I have always kept around for it's depth of info. The developers are responsive to requests and the integration and interface make this a great stepping off point. I look forward to the further development of this app!
Best movie guide 4.0 stars
By: RosieCotton
Version: 1.0
Best movie app for offline research. Other movie guides in the app store require an Internet connection to give you plot summaries. Unlike the Palm OS version of this guide, you cannot filter by year or ratings, but you can search people, titles. Just like the paperback, only with color artwork. Search results are slow. Not all current titles are available, just Leonard's Picks.
Great all around interactive database 5.0 stars
By: DangerousOne
Version: 1.0
This is THE movie database to beat all!! If you like the movies, this is the app for you. Not to mention the price is incredible! Leonard Maltin has never let the fans down.
Great, but text too small 4.0 stars
By: Seattledc
Version: 1.0
Love this, but the text is too small. Needs landscape mode or larger font option.
Search needs a MAJOR speedup 4.0 stars
By: Just me1
Version: 1.0
Content is terrific (I had this on my Windows Mobile device). However, as mentioned by a couple of others, search time is really slow.
The best 5.0 stars
By: RoyofSF
Version: 1.0
I've been waiting for this since I switched from my Treo 680 to a iphone 3GS. It replaces and is better than the unwieldy printed guide. Its searches (by title, actor or director) are very fast on my 3GS. Plus it allows me to save my favorite movies, favorite Christmas movies, etc. Since I watch movies on TV and not in theaters, this has everything that I need.
Great resource, nothing current 3.0 stars
By: jdbTunes
Version: 1.0
This app is a great resource for rentals. But I thought I'd be able to use it to pick a good film to see in the theater. Not so. There are very few reviews of films currently in theaters.
Very poor search 2.0 stars
By: Loewena
Version: 1.0
Not worth being called a Database! It has just a single key word search. Even the Palm issue was MUCH better. Cast lists have only names, not roles.
More improvements needed 3.0 stars
By: Mbmlh
Version: 1.0
It's great to have Maltin on th Iphone and, with a few improvements, it can become an essential app. 1. Improve the search speed. It takes an unusually long time once a search term is entered to get a result. Please fix! 2. Please create a keyword search to help find movies. 3. Give us a choice on opening screens. I'd rather see a featured movie of the day or classic movie than a list of current movies. The app shows great promise, please continue to refine it and give us more choices!
Good, But Needs Improved Search Functionality 3.0 stars
By: Whirlpool Dreyer
Version: 1.0
It's nice to search by title, cast, and director. But two critical search functions are missing: Release Year and Star Rating. How great it would be to see all films released in a certain year (or series of years; add a date range?), plus sort films by star rating (with the option to search greater or less than a number of stars). Thanks, mobileAge, for bringing the insightful Leonard Maltin to iPhone. As a movie buff and longtime reader of Leonard's Guide, I'm happy the wait is over.
Solid and well designed 5.0 stars
By: Robert_928
Version: 1.0
Finally a quality, complete(!) movie review reference for my iPhone. The CNET review says iTunes movie rental support is coming in the next release - looking forward to that. And love that it lets me keep a list of those movies I want to see. Will recommend to others.
