PRESS RELEASE/GIVEAWAY: Ultimate Movie Buff

[Editor's note: see bottom for giveaway details]

Super Monko Studio releases ‘Ultimate Movie Buff’: the iPhone app dedicated to cinemaholic people.

In collaboration with ITN, Super Monko Studio has released Ultimate Movie Buff iPhone app on 12th of May, in time for the Cannes Film Festival. By adding videos and images from ITN, Super Monko Studio has added a new dimension to their popular movie quiz, “Movie Buff” app.

London, UK- May 12, 2010- Super Monko Studio today announced the launch of its much awaited ‘Ultimate Movie Buff’ iPhone app. This is a new app following their original Movie Buff quiz app. The ‘Ultimate Movie Buff’ app offers players a fun way to challenge their movie knowledge.

The new quiz includes over 4,800 movie related questions, in fifteen categories, from Director, Actor to Film locations and Synopsis. The new content is complimented with images and red carpet videos from ITN and all new artwork and animation.

The iPhone app aims to entertain its players and encourages social interactions by use of Facebook and Twitter posts. Even cinema experts will find difficult to answer all the questions in time.


“Ultimate Movie Buff is a fun casual game that playfully tests players to their limit. Whether you are a fan of Tom Cruise or Almodovar, the app has it covered”, said Mia Bennett, co-founder of Super Monko Studio. “We have been amazed with some of the high scores of the previous app and can’t wait to discover the new Global Movie Buffs”.

[Editor's note, cont'd.: the makers of Ultimate Movie Buff were nice enough to give me a few promo codes, one for me to check out the app myself, and some more to use as giveaways. I can tell you that it's a fun app - a good way to keep your status as a trivia nerd fresh. The only real downside I noticed was that it was a bit too easy, at least early on. To keep playing, time and accuracy play a factor; take too long and/or get too many questions wrong, and your timer runs out. I never had that happen; every time my game ended, it was because I ended it.

Anyway, I'll be doling out promo codes over the next few days/weeks at random. I might mention something here on the main site, or it might be via the Facebook Fan Page, or it might be over at the Forums (so much to keep up with!). Think of them as Easter Eggs. This first one is intended for someone who has yet to vote for the LAMMYs - the first person that goes to vote, then sends me an email with a subject of "Ultimate Movie Buff" wins! (I have a current list of who has voted as of this moment, so don't try to trick me.) This first giveaway offer has expired.

Stay tuned for more chances to win.]
