Using your personal computer, you can now access movie showtimes using the popular Google search engine.
The new feature also provides information such as theater locations and reviews, and enables users to search for movies by title, plot or genre.
Competitor Yahoo Inc., which is making a big move into entertainment, offers such data as movie showtimes, theater locations, reviews and ticketing purchasing through its Yahoo Movies section.
Users of Web-enabled mobile phones also can use Yahoo Movies to search by movie name or to find out what’s playing at nearby theaters.
Google, Yahoo and most recently Microsoft Corp.’s MSN Internet unit are battling to offer the most comprehensive Web search products since those services fuel fast-growing advertising revenues.
