Nanaimo movie listings

April 3rd, 2008 | 2 comments

A friend was complaining that there was nowhere he could find to get an RSS listing of movie showtimes... so I made a little script using Hpricot to parse forreel.com - hopefully they don't mind...

So for those of you locally, feel free to use it!

IMHO - ForReel is terrible. Have to give them credit for sticking around so long, but I have found their results to be inaccurate and lack the metadata required to make a viewing decision.

Try http://www.google.ca/movies?hl=en&near=nanaimo&dq=nanaimo+movies&sort=1&sa=X&oi=showtimes&ct=title&cd=1
for great results with great links to trailers, rating information, and locations.
