The always useful Internet Movie Database just got a little more interesting - users in the US can now stream full-length films and TV shows.

Thanks to deals inked with CBS, Hulu, Sony Pictures Television and over 500 independents, IMDb visitors can now watch movies such as Hoop Dreams, Fever Pitch and Raising Arizona (yay!) and shows like 24, CSI, The Simpsons and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Also, season premieres of Knight Rider (the new one), Lipstick Jungle, Chuck, Life and 30 Rock will air here before they debut on actually television.

But there’s some bad news: the service is only available to US-based web users. Bah humbug! If it ever makes the trip across the Atlantic we’ll let you know.
