Movies Plugin for Google Desktop

Dec
2005
With the latest release, Google Desktop 2.0 introduced script plugins. That means that it’s now easy as ever to create sidebar panels. So I went ahead and created a Movies plugin — you specify a zip code, and it will display customized movie listings for theaters near your home. You can also filter by genre, MPAA ratings, or user ratings, and sort by popularity or ratings.
Worth a try! It’s available free: Google Desktop Movies Plugin.
It has also featured in Google’s Plugin Library, and on the Google Desktop Blog as Plugin of the Week.
Not bad for half a day’s work, eh? That’s putting the Thanksgiving break to fruitful use. 
Great idea! Hope you can find a way to make it work in Australia. I’d love to get it. I’m not sure where you’d get the info from. I have picked up movies info via AvantGo (that was a long time ago now) and Yahoo Movies to my Palm. Cheers!
