   Not really.  That is the crux of expert systems.  They are either a lot   
   of work for something you could have done with textpad (i.e. search for   
   strings) or they get so complicated that they can't be maintained.  Can   
   you say why your system is better than something like IMDB?   
      
   Even worse, their inputs are generally a matter of judgment that is   
   non-portable from user to user.  For instance, who really is the star   
   of a DVD?  How do you define drama as opposed to mystery or comedy?   
      
   If this is a homework assignment, then I would give you full credit for   
   actually building a toy expert system, but I would also try to get you   
   to go beyond that to something likely to be more useful.
