Using shortcodes within a template

Ok, here’s the issue. Originally I created a page and manually listed each of my movies like so:

<li> <!--imdb-->Æon Flux (2005)<!--/imdb--></li>
<li> <!--imdb-->"The Storyteller" (1988)<!--/imdb--></li>
<li> <!--imdb-->10,000 BC (2008)<!--/imdb--></li>

The imdb shortcodes above create links for the respective movie, gathering it’s imdb info.

Now, I’ve added a table to my database and inserted all my movies into it. Than I created a template for which I go through the table and list all the movies. So far, so good. However, I want to still create the imdb links above for them. However, adding ‘<!–imdb–>’ and ‘<!–/imdb–> into the template code itself, seems to produce no results.

Here’s an example within my loop:
<td><!--imdb--><?php echo $mymovie->name;?><!--/imdb--></td>

I tried messing around with something like so:
echo do_shortcode('<!--imdb-->');

but wasn’t sure how to write it, opening/closing and where movie would go?

Any suggestions folks?
