Just Adeed: Life In a… Metro
Thursday, June 28th, 2007Bangalore’s First Roof Top Film Festival
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007A bunch of movie buffs are organizing Bangalore’s First Roof Top Film Festival on 7th July. So it will be 7 movies from 7 PM to 7 AM on 7-7-2007. Cool huh?
“Roof Top Film Festivals” are typically where people get together on somebody’s rooftop with a projector and a screen and watch movies which are not very popular in India or not released in multiplexes. These screenings are interspersed by independent film maker’s movies and discussions on the movies screened.
Catchflix is excited to be a part of this interesting event.

Time Ticker
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007
Did you see the cute little time ticker we have added that shows the hours and minutes left for you to order to get the DVD tomorrow? It is set to start showing at 12 Noon and till 4 PM, unless tomorrow is a Sunday.
We got the idea from Amazon.com ; ) They use it to tell you the time left to order if you want to get your stuff by some date – like before Father’s Day or something.

The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is “Earth’s Biggest Movie Database”. The IMDb website consists of the largest known accumulation of data about films. In many cases, the information goes beyond simple title or press credits to include complete cast and crew credits, uncredited personnel, production and distribution companies, plot summaries, memorable quotes, awards, reviews, box office performance, filming locations, technical specs, promotional content, trivia, and links to official and other websites.
The IMDb Top 250 is intended to be a listing of the top ‘rated’ 250 films, based on ratings by the registered users of the website. The top 250 list comprises a wide strata of films, including major releases, cult films, independent films, critically acclaimed films, silent films and foreign films.
Some movies not available with Catchflix have not been listed.
