Looking for movie schedules has never been easier; thanks to Google’s new movie onebox service that tells you when and where the latest movie is shown.

This new search feature enables users to quickly and easily find movie showtimes in their local area. Just enter in a movie title and a city (for example, The Jane Austen Book Club Sydney), and above your normal search results, the movie onebox shows you the cinemas where the movie is playing, and allows you to see showtimes side by side for these locations.

Additionally, Google provides a link to Google Maps for each cinema so that you can easily print directions to and from your cinema of choice.

The Google movie onebox also allows you to see additional information such as movie critics’ reviews for movies, and uses ratings from across the internet to create an aggregate star rating. If you don’t know what movie you want to see, you can just type “movies” and your city name (or post code) to find the local movies playing in your area.
