First of all, there's something to be said for the ease-of-use and intuitive design of it all. Color correction is so NOT what I'm good at, yet I'm getting some really good results with this software. I'm not using any of the presets, but I find it so easy to use.
And I've barely even touched it. With Colorista, I've used the pin-drop white-balance a lot. In Looks, I've used exposure, spot-exposure, and three-point-color-correction.
When I'm all done with that, for the entire piece I plan on crushing the blacks and upping the contrast a little. I don't think much will be needed, though. I've added a slight blue tint (ever so slight), and it's really making the colors pop.
I have no idea if this software is something the pros would ever touch, but for a really-low-budget kinda thing, I can't recommend it enough. If you're one of those do-everything kind of producers, I'd say Magic Bullet is a must-have.

When I read the headline I thought you were talking about this.
