I am developing such a skill. Please feel free to test. It’s called MovieMaster on github. I have submitted a PR request on the mycroft-skills github.

I am working on a couple of new issues to iron everything out, but the way it is now, it works well.

There is a thread on this forum located here.

Let me know what you think.
