    I have the following code in the functions.php adding a custom post type of Functions and custom for taxonomies Movies.

    // Custom Posts Type Features, including custom category name

function post_type_features() {

 register_post_type('features',
  array(
    'labels' => array(
    'name' => __( 'Features' ),
    'singular_name' => __( 'Features' ),
    'add_new' => __( 'Add New' ),
    'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Features' ),
    'edit' => __( 'Edit' ),
    'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Features' ),
    'new_item' => __( 'New Features' ),
    'view' => __( 'View Features' ),
    'view_item' => __( 'View Features' ),
    'search_items' => __( 'Search Features' ),
    'not_found' => __( 'No Features found' ),
    'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No Features found in Trash' ),
    'parent' => __( 'Parent Features' ),
   ),
      'public' => true,
      'show_ui' => true,
   'exclude_from_search' => true,
   'hierarchical' => true,
   'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail' ),
   'query_var' => true
   )
   );
 }

 add_action('init', 'post_type_features');

 add_action( 'init', 'create_features_taxonomies', 0 );

 function create_features_taxonomies()
 {
   // Add new taxonomy, make it hierarchical (like categories)
   $labels = array(
     'name' => _x( 'Movies', 'taxonomy general name' ),
     'singular_name' => _x( 'Name', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
     'search_items' =>  __( 'Search Names' ),
     'popular_items' => __( 'Popular Names' ),
     'all_items' => __( 'All Names' ),
     'parent_item' => __( 'Parent Name' ),
     'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Name:' ),
     'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Name' ),
     'update_item' => __( 'Update Name' ),
     'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Movie' ),
     'new_item_name' => __( 'New Name Movie' ),
   );
   register_taxonomy('Names',array('features'), array(
     'hierarchical' => true,
     'labels' => $labels,
     'show_ui' => true,
     'query_var' => true,
     'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'Names' ),
   ));
 }

    Is there any way i can add some custom columns for the page in the admin where it lists all the posts?

    Maybe you can work with this? Its how I list my custom post type (ve_products), with its costom taxonomy (prod_cat) and display excerpt of post

    // ADDS EXTRA INFO TO ADMIN MENU FOR PRODUCT POST TYPE
add_filter("manage_edit-ve_products_columns", "voodoo_prod_edit_columns");
add_action("manage_posts_custom_column", "voodoo_prod_custom_columns");

function voodoo_prod_edit_columns( $columns ) {

	// Add the extra column for product categories instead of rebuilding the whole array
	$columns["prod_cat"] = "Product Category";

	return $columns;
}

function voodoo_prod_custom_columns( $column ) {
	global $post;
	switch( $column ) {
		case "description":
			the_excerpt();
		break;
		case "prod_cat":
			echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'product_category', '', ', ', '' );
		break;
	}
}
