Performance Rating

As I opened one of the files "The Departed," I was pleased to see all the details flashing out in a new window.

I could edit everything, right from the name of the movie, tagline, release date, to the date of the theartrical release. This window even points out to the link to the trailer and shows price of the movie. I was able to place the movie into a category, and edit various video and audio formats for the movie. It even showed the cast and credits, and I was able to write comments on the movie. Amazing, isn’t it?
