* Internet Movie Database (IMDb)
The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is an online database of information related to films, television programs, and video games. This includes actors, production crew personnel, and fictional characters featured in these three visual entertainment media.
IMDb was launched on October 17, 1990, and in 1998 was acquired by Amazon.com. As of April 27, 2013, IMDb had 2,503,783 titles (includes episodes) and 5,192,493 personalities in its database as well as 43 million registered users. The website has an Alexa rank of 48.

* Ranking (IMDb Top 10)
The IMDb Top 10 is intended to be a listing of the top 'rated' 250 films, based on ratings by the registered users of the website using the methods described. Only non-documentary theatrical releases running at least forty-five minutes with over 25,000 ratings are considered; all other products are ineligible. Also, the 'top 10' rating is based on only the ratings of "regular voters". In addition to other weightings, the top 250 films are also based on a weighted rating formula referred to in actuarial science as a credibility formula. This label arises because a statistic is taken to be more credible the greater the number of individual pieces of information; in this case from eligible users who submit ratings. IMDb uses the following formula to calculate the weighted rating: Where: = weighted rating = average for the movie as a number from 0 to 10 (mean) = (Rating) = number of votes for the movie = (votes) = minimum votes required to be listed in the Top 250

    Τhe film I chose to critique this week is the classic family comedy Home Alone (1990) directed by Chris Columbus. Leading actors in this film is eight year old Kevin McCallister played by Macaulay Culkin, along with Peter McCallister, the father, played by John Heard, Mrs. McCallister played by Catherine O’Hara, Marv, who is the first burglar, played by Daniel Stern, and Harry, the other burglar played by Joe Pesci. Other characters in this film are Buzz the brother, mean Uncle Frank, and creepy old man Marley. The title of the film hints to the audience that someone is home alone, but the viewer does not know what happens in the story until watching the film, which makes it more interesting. This film is about a large family who gets together for a Christmas trip to Paris, but the night before they leave there is a wind storm, which knocks out all of the power, which means their alarm clock does not go off, and they sleep in. This puts them in a mad rush to get to the airport, in turn leaving Kevin behind, and the rest continue on to a fun family adventure.…

    The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is an online database of information related to movies, television shows, stars, etc. We chose to do our project from 2008 to 2011 year’s movie database. We extracted data like Movie, Director, Star, Image Url, Studio from the IMDb website. For this extraction of data we used a tool named Mozenda. After the data extraction, the data was analyzed. For a particular star, his/her movie, director, studio with whom the star has worked was shown. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the same was developed. According to this GUI, when the user selects a Star his/her respective movies, directors, studios are displayed. A graph for the extracted data is also shown. For this a tool named NodeXL is used. This graph is having star and movie as the nodes and an edge is the relation between the star and the movie which shows that the star has worked in the movie and vice versa.…
