We've been working on moviesnowapp.com for just over 2 years now. Unfortunately we've recently decided to shut down the service (combination of extremely high licensing fees and failure to find a sustainable way to cover our monthly costs).

MoviesNow lets you view showtimes for movies nearby, watch trailers & purchase a ticket in 3 simple steps.

There is a lot of custom UI code that has got some attention from design focused blogs and has been mentioned on: - http://smokingapples.com/software/reviews/movies-now/ - featured on the AppStore (top 100 entertainment, apps for movie lovers) - http://www.appspark.co.uk/press/ - http://twitpic.com/2ea783 -http://wellplacedpixels.com/post/732323679/appsparks-movies-now-hd

We'd really love to hear if anyone would find this useful, there's a lot of Cocoa & Rails code that's helped create this. In theory if a free showtimes data-source could be found the app could be kept running.
