hitting F3 on the keyboard will bring up the IMDB information. Remote control I have no idea about as I do not use one. The other way is bringing up the context menu F9 and selecting IMDB.

On the Microsoft MCE remote you can hit the button with the "i" and "More" under it and it will bring up the context menu and then select IMDB.
You could try mapping the command to a button on your remote.

Or you can use the My Films plugin.

Another alterniative is to use a skin that show the IMDB info direcly in the MyVideos screen.
