In keeping with their ongoing crusade to organise the world's information, Google have introduced a new search operator to deliver movie specific results.
On first impressions the results seem to be similar to those produced by the likes of MetaCritic but leveraging the Google data corpus facilitates much greater functionality.
Just in time for the Oscars, we've created a new "movie:" operator that enables you to find movie-related information faster and more easily, whether you're looking for titles or actors, director or genre, famous lines or obscure plot details. Can't remember the name of that film where Tom Hanks made friends with a volleyball? Search for [movie: Tom Hanks talking to a volleyball] and Google will tell you: it was Cast Away. Want rental recommendations? Try searching for [movie: awesome car chase] or [movie: good chick flick].[Via ThreadWatch]
