IMDB HAS CHANGED IT'S PROTOCOL

It seems IMDB has changed the way it retrieves info from it's db, and there are also some changes in the display format
Result: my class doesn't work properly anymore and at the moment I don't have the time to 'dive into it'. 

If you have a working patch i'll be happy to post it here so others can once again use this class =)
