Importing using location variables

HI, im trying to query the imdb database for info on the movies that i have stored on my hard drive.

I figure,I can take the filename, and use this to query the imdb database for info about the movies, so that I can do the things shown in the movies demo, but with my movies, and without creating manual databases.

I have found the website http://www.imdbapi.com/ whereby if you put http://www.imdbapi.com/?t="Film name" the results shows text about the films.  Is there a way to have qlikview use the results of a table to search different locations?

I.e. my table has a column called file name with the following values:

The Silence of the lambs

The Matrix

Kill Bill

etc

and have it search http://www.imdbapi.com/?t=The Silence of the lambs

http://www.imdbapi.com/?t=The Matrix

http://www.imdbapi.com/?t=Kill Bill

etc?
