A brief post to alert you that the movie listings Google provides and the way they're provided has been enhanced. Let's break down the announcement from the Google Blog.
If the area is incorrect (remember they're taking a well calculated guess) there is a link next to the location to change the area. You could also search with the title and a city name or Zip Code. This is also useful if want to see a film outside your own area. If you click on the title of the film you'll find showtimes for area theaters (and the option to change dates), the film's trailer, photos, and reviews culled from the web. While Google Movies has been around for several years this page has been enhanced.
+ When you go to http://www.google.com/movies you'll be able to only search the movie database and find the detailed page with pictures, trailers, etc. that we just mentioned.
+ You can now search by genre. Here's an example. We hope Google provides a list of the genres that can be searched.
+ Finally, another new feature is "Map View." After you've selected a film, look in the left column of the Google page for that specific page. Click "Show Map View" and now you can see where the film is playing throughout the area you're searching. Clicking on any of the pins brings up a link for the theater. Click and now you have showtimes for the new theater.
