Eco1 

hitting the ‘movie’ button brings up a listing of which movies are on near you in time and space.

Eco2 

Selecting a movie I can read synopses and information about possible locations.

Eco3

Selecting a location provides me with an option to get directions

Eco5 

And then, there I am, watching the utterly disappointing Wolfman.
