Richard,

Please try the Open Data Explorer (esp. Firefox Extension variant [1] ), 
it works fine with the Linked Movie Database as per some of my twitter 
micro posts from yesterday [2] . You will also see examples re. other 
exciting Linked Data additions such as data from the BBC and Southampton 
Pubs.  I even drop a simple mashup in one the links to boot.
