Google's new movie searches
Google has added yet another useful feature to their search functionality. This time, it has to do with movies. Now, from the Google search box, you can use "movie:" to do movie-specific searches.
For example, if you want movie listings for your zip code, enter "movie:40241." This gives you a complete list of theaters, showtimes, map link, movie ratings and IMDB links for your area.
Or do searches to find movies whose titles you can't remember. For example, "movie:jim carrey erases memory."
Clicking on a movie title takes you to a page that aggregates reviews and other information about the movie. It evens provides an average rating based on all of the results returned. For example, for "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," there are 69 reviews with an average score of 4.2 out of 5. Cool!
