Funkyflick helps you discover new movies with one click

Santa Clara, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/30/2014 -- FunkyFlick is setting out to change the way that people find movies they want to watch. In the past, movie fans received recommendations based on what other people like or vague keyword matches. Now, FunkyFlick can take anything that has a Wikipedia page and use it to find great movies about whatever you want to see.

FunkyFlick is the brainchild of former Google engineer Robert Nuckolls. Nuckolls was tired of trying to find movies by sifting through thousands of search results based on other people's recommendations and basic genre criteria. So to fix the problem, he wrote a program that can actually read regular English text instead of keywords to determine whether a potential movie's description is similar.

For example, if a user searches for movies about "courage" using a traditional keyword based search engine, they'll probably get thousands upon thousands of results for movies that happen to use the word "courage" somewhere in the description. FunkyFlick, on the other hand, reads the Wikipedia entry for "courage", analyzes the main themes and concepts, then produces a list of movies that highlight those features.

FunkyFlick gives results that are much more focused than the typical search engine. A search for a broad term on those engines can result in literally millions of results, making it nearly impossible to actually find what you're looking for. FunkyFlick's unique algorithm extracts the meaning from the words and uses it to give you a list of no more than 36 results, all tailored to exactly what you're looking for.

FunkyFlick has already partnered with Amazon, the world's largest online retailer. And because FunkyFlick's algorithm works for locating any product within a text description, it could grow into a general search engine that can find any product, making the growth potential for FunkyFlick virtually limitless.

Santa Clara, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/01/2014 -- Do you remember times when you were all set for a second look at a movie but couldn't remember the name? Or felt like watching something new but had nothing but a general subject in mind? There is a new website called FunkyFlick, which will solve those problems with a single click.

FunkyFlick will provide personalized movie recommendations based on a book, a movie or any Wikipedia page. This is a new technology which analyzes the meaning behind English text and offers suggestions which fit that meaning.

There are many movie recommendation search engines which come up with titles based upon what you have watched before. FunkyFlick doesn't need to know that. FunkyFlick recommendations are based on what you like, not on the preferences of some group of people you don't even know. FunkyFlick doesn't need to know your age, gender or interests to produce results.

The secret sauce: FunkyFlick's ability to read the meaning behind English text and to understand the concepts within that meaning. This allows the FunkyFlick movie recommendation system to pick movies metaphysically. For example, if one does a keyword search based on "wisdom", over a thousand movies which happen to mention wisdom will pop up. FunkyFlick will read the Wikipedia page about wisdom which covers its history, philosophy and meaning to different cultures and religions and pick movies which highlight these features. Since FunkyFlick uses the meaning behind English text, the result is precise and will turn up 36 or fewer movies per inquiry, making the choice of deciding what to watch right now much easier.
