however still very good first impressions!
Of course "carlisle" may be the name of several cities in the world. Searching for movies is totally based on Googles movie service. I have no control (or at least I do not know yet) about the exact city that is used when you just enter a city name.

In future I hope I find a way to a) present a list of possible cities that match the searched city name and b) make Google to return a list for that exact selected city. Some more research needed I assume...

I will see why it fails for the other days if you enter "Carlisle, UK".

This "n" mile thing is not easy AFAIK. I don't know about any possibility to tell Google about a maximum distance. I have not added routing or anything like this (so the software is already prepared for it but it seems there is no standard API for this yet). If I could calculate the distance between a cinema (from its address) and your current location I could implement that max. distance feature myself.
