Movies App for Blackberry and iPhone

So this post is directed to all you Crackberry and iPhone (still looking for a Crackberry type name of the iPhone) addicts out there who are into movies.  I recently found a movie app that in general, is one of the best mobile device applications I have ever used.  The app is called "Movies" and it is free for Apple and RIM products.  The app is run by Flixster, the social site that allows users to share information about movies and utilizes ranking from both Flixster themselves and Rotten Tomatoes.  The app is visually pleasing and very user friendly.  Did I meantI will detail the different functions of this app below but can already say this app is a must have.

Box Office

The main page of this app gives you information about Movies now in theatres.  This information includes both Flixster and Rotten Tomatoes ratings, movie synopsis and cast and user reviews.  There are also links to get showtimes, IMDB pages as well as watch the trailers.

Theatres

If your phone is GPS-enabled you can search for theatres nearby, otherwise you have to give the app a city or postal code to search in.  However, once your location is set you can search nearby theatres or search theatres by name (you can even set a favourite theatre to save time).  Selecting any of the listings gives you theatres information and a list of all movies playing there with times up to a week ahead.

Upcoming

This section gives you similar information to Box Office but with soon to be released movies.

DVD

This section, which can be sorted by New Releases or Coming Soon, is once again like the Upcoming and Box Office sections but with information regarding DVD's.

Search

The Search section allows you to find Flixster information on movies, actors, or directors in a very organized fashion.

Cons

Only real con I can find with this this app is that the trailers only work with Curve 8900's and Bold 9000's currently but the developers have stated they are working on changing that.
