Movienizer is a database management tool used to organize your collection of favorite movies. It's also capable of generating reports and statistics based on your movie collection database.
I find the application interface to be extremely easy to use. It has a movie navigation panel on the left side, the main display screen right next to it and the Tab Menu on the top. Although it has 4 skins to choose from I noticed that they don't modify the color on the top of the screen which, to be honest, could be more colorful and contrasting.
Moving on, each movie from your collection has a description where you can find more details about the movie (like synopsis, budget, director, writer), actors, the received awards (if any exist) and also shots from the movie.
Furthermore, you can write your own description of the movie, you can store your own rating and because the database is continuously updated you can find any information about the movie in a few seconds.
With the new 9.1 version, it's now possible to sort the list of people by the last name and download user comments from the internet.
All things considered, Movienizer proves to be a comprehensive movie database organizer embedding a set of very useful features, but, in my opinion, costs too much.
v8.0 [Apr 4, 2015]
Movienizer 8.0. Improvements and new features in the movie organizer.
[!] Controls in the "Edit info" window for movie were reorganized. Directors, screenplay writers and other crew members are shown in a single list.
In the "Edit info" window, various lists (directors, screenplay writers, composers) were combined into one list. Now you can add, remove or edit all crew members on the "General" tab.
Crew in the edit info window
If you need to add a person, click the corresponding category (for example, Directors), then click the plus button in the right upper corner of the list. Alternatively, you can click the arrow next to the plus button and select a category:
Add a crew member
[!] Added support for new types of people: producers and cinematographers.
In addition to directors, screenplay writers and composers, Movienizer 8.0 supports producers and cinematographers. The program will download information about these new types automatically, as you download information about movies.
Producers and cinematographers
You can enable or disable downloading this information in the download script settings:
Download information about producers and cinematographers
As usual, producers and cinematographers can also be added to any movie manually, in the "Edit info" window.
[!] In extended filters, it is now possible to select a logical operator ("AND" / "OR") for fields with several values.
Extended filters have become even more powerful in Movienizer 8.0. Now you can choose how multiple values should be combined within one field.
Logical condition for the extended filter
For example, using the "AND" operator, you will find movies that have both "Adventure" and "Fantasy" in the list of genres. Using the "OR" operator, you will list all movies of the "Adventure" genre plus all movies of the "Fantasy" genre (so the list is likely to be longer than the first one).
The selected logical operator applies to all fields where multiple selections are possible (genre, countries, actors, etc.).
[ ] Technical information can now be copied to other editions / episodes.
In Movienizer 8.0, you can fill out fields for one episode of a TV series and then copy the values to the rest of the episodes:
Copy fields to other editions
There are 3 fields that aren't copied: Filename, Duration, and File size. Any information in other fields will be replaced by the information that you've entered into the current episode / edition:
Warning, replacing information
You can choose whether to copy values from the current tab or from all tabs. Additionally, if the TV series includes several seasons, you can copy values to all episodes of the current season, or to all episodes of all seasons:
Choose where to copy fields from and to
[ ] Movie rating can be updated without re-downloading any other information.
Movie rating may change quite frequently, especially for recently released movies. In Movienizer 8.0, you can update ratings for any number of selected movies without downloading and updating any other information. Just enable Group Operations, select some movies and click "Tools" - "Update movie rating".
Update movie rating
Movienizer will automatically download the current ratings from the corresponding information source.
Updating movie ratings
No other details are affected by this operation.
[ ] For movies with several editions, when movie location is set using the right-click menu, you can now select an edition.
In previous versions of Movienizer you could use the right-click menu to set location only for single-edition movies and for the first edition of movies that had several editions.
Set location using the right-click menu
Movienizer 8.0 will prompt to choose an edition:
