Movie Time is a fullscreen movie player, with powerful features such as support for subtitles, simple keyboard controls, customizable appearance and advanced volume control.

Using Movie Time is simple. When you open a movie, Movie Time starts playing it automatically in fullscreen. Movie Time also saves any position of an unfinished movie, so when you open the application next time, it will automatically start from the position the movie was playing, before it quit. This can be turned off in the preferences, too.

The keyboard shortcuts make it easy to control your movie. Whether you want to play/pause, rewind/fast forward, control the volume or the movie size, it’s all reachable from the keyboard. If you forget a certain key combination, you can press Command+? and you’ll get a nice little window with all the keyboard shortcuts.

When you trigger an action with the keyboard controls, Movie Time gives you visual feedback, with little window showing a piece of information about the action performed. You can also have a traditional controller to use with the mouse, if you can’t get used to the keyboard shortcuts. You can also control Movie Time with an Apple Remote.

The main window and the overlays, including subtitles, can be customized. Movie Time also supports customizable encoding, so subtitles with another languages can be displayed properly.

Movie Time also received a brand new shiny icon in version 0.4.

The best of all? Movie Time is free. That’s right, free, however I’m sure a donation would be appreciated. Download it here.

CoverSutra is a fairly new application made by Sophiestication Software, It allows you to control your iTunes application at the click of a hotkey – with style.

CoverSutra sits in your Menubar and/or Dock, meaning that everything is easily controlled when ever you want.

You can quickly control iTunes from any application, with customizable keyboard shortcuts, or by bringing a floating window to front with a press of a button. CoverSutra also works with an Apple Remote, making it perfect for use from across the room. The floating window shows all the important details about the currently playing song, and allows you to control iTunes with options such as pausing, playing, skipping track, going back a track, viewing artwork, and more, all from one handy pop up display.

CoverSutra doesn’t have a search feature incorporated yet for digging deeper into your iTunes library, but it is in the works as this is only version 1 of a wonderful application.

The information bezel gives you visual feedback of changes in iTunes, like song and rating changes. It also shows the album art of your currently playing song.

CoverSutra has really been made with style in mind. The Jewel Case feature puts a little box with your album art onto your desktop, and it looks pretty nice. All the windows are nicely designed and a nice icon is always a good thing (which CoverSutra delivers on).

CoverSutra costs $9,95, and you can download a free 10 day trial here.
