Levels of Life: Coolector
This week’s “Levels Of Life” will be about the “Coolector” program.
Coolector is a program for movie lovers designed by movie lovers. I came across it while searching for a “Backloggery-esque” thing for movies. I believe the exact words were “movie tracker”. I luckily came across the Coolector website.
Coolector is the perfect movie tracking program, whether you simply want to track what you’ve watched, or track movies you own, loan, wish for and have seen. It has an easy to read display. At the moment it has about 70,000 movies/series in it’s database. I added all my movies to watch, and movies I had already watched. I was able to rate them, see what the “Internet Movie Database”’s popularity for it was, and the rating given to it by them. The only problem I’ve ever had with this program, was that one of my movies wasn’t in there. All I did was registered at the official Coolector forum, requested that my movie was added, and within not too long, it was.
There’s also a bunch of other features you can do with Coolector, such as track the movies you’ve loaned off to people, your wishlist, your owned movies, and the ones you’ve simply watched. So, if you don’t really own any movies, you simply rate them, and that signifies you’ve seen it. Or if you own it but you haven’t seen the movie, you can just simple put it as owned and not rate it.
You can also search any actor, director, or even script writer. You can also use Coolector for television series, but it doesn’t go through individual seasons, just the complete series. So, I’m not really so in to that one. But, Coolector has so many filters, you can see the best black and white movies ever, the best movies ever, best movies of XXXX year, or the worst movies ever. When you’re marking that you own a movie, you can mark exactly which edition you own: such as, Blu-ray, HD-DVD, any edition of the DVD that exists, and if you have it, and it’s not marked, you can always request it, and the Coolector team will make certain that it’s added as soon as possible.
This program is basically Backloggery for movies, it’s pretty awesome, almost every movie has it’s own picture, actor information, and best of all it’s a program, so it can be used offline, and it saves your data in it’s own type of save file [ > 1mb ]. It’s a pretty sick program, and best of all it’s completly free. Of course, you could make a donation, but if you don’t, you’re not losing any features.
