Re: MovieDB
Sadly I thik you will find that it is no longer possible to interact automaticaly with the IMDB database as it is specificaly against their terms of use etc. Unless you want to enter into a commercial agreement with them which starts at about $10.000.
Interestingly I found this piece of history about imdb (now owned by amazon) on wikipedia.

Sound familiar at all
In 1999, Jeff Bezos, founder, owner and CEO of Amazon.com struck a deal with Col Needham and other principal shareholders, to buy IMDb outright and attach it to his corporate empire as a subsidiary, private company. This gave IMDb the ability to pay the shareholders salaries for their work, while Amazon.com would be able to use the IMDb as an advertising resource for selling DVDs and videotapes. Volunteer contributors were not advised in advance of even the possibility of IMDb - and their contributions along with it - being sold to a private business, which created some initial discord and defection of regulars. Promises to recompense all major contributors in some unspecified way for their prior services were issued by Col Needham in announcing the sale, but did not materialize.
IMDb continues to expand its functionality. In 2002, it added a subscription service known as IMDbPro aimed at entertainment professionals. It provides a variety of services including production and box office details, as well as a company directory. Most information contained in the IMDb database proper continues to come from volunteer researchers, whose only incentive, since 2003, is that if they are identified as being one of "the top 100 contributors" in terms of amounts of hard data submitted, they receive complimentary free access to IMDbPro for the following calendar year.

Re: MovieDB
If that is the case then they are all in breach of the imdb copyright and terms of service.
