Movie Reviews and Showtimes

SUMMARY: Find out when a movie is playing at your local theater with Google.

Google lets you query for movie names, but now the search engine is intelligent enough to directly provide movie times, ratings, reviews, and more.

For example, query "superman returns" to get the following above the list of results (subject to change):

"Superman Returns

2hr 34min - Rated PG-13 - Action/Adventure/SciFi/Fantasy/Drama - 18 reviews:"


Click on the "18 reviews" to get a list of movie reviews around the web. You can then list just positive, neutral, or negative reviews if desired.

Add a space then a zip code to find where the movie is playing near you. For example, if you want to watch "Cars" and you happen to be hurling fish near Pike Place Market in Seattle, zip code of 98101, query for:

Cars 98101

The result may be similar to the following (subject to change depending on movie showtimes!):

"Cars showtimes for WA 98101
1hr 57min - Rated G - Animation/Action/Adventure/Family - 43 reviews:

AMC Loews Meridian 16 - 1501 7th Ave., Seattle, WA - Map
12:10 1:00 1:50 3:00 3:50 4:40 6:10 6:50 7:30 9:00 9:40 10:20

Landmark Metro Cinemas - 4500 9th NE, Seattle, WA - Map
1:00 1:40 4:00 4:50 6:50 8:00 9:40"


Clicking on individual showtimes displays more information for the particular theatre, and a "More theaters" link displays more viewing options.
