Have done it easily many times to find what's on and when.

I'm Australian, so I visit www.google.com.au, click the radio, "pages from 
Australia, then type the search "Cinema Brisbane".  Eg.:
http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=Cinema+Brisbane&meta=cr%3DcountryAU

Plenty of choices on the first page, but I use this one "Brisbane - Movie 
session times for all cinemas in Brisbane ...", which is 
http://www.ourbrisbane.com/whatson/movies/sessiontimes because it has in one 
place the session times of all the cinema companies in all Brisbane's zones.
