Google Movies added to robots.txt!!

<< Google just added a new entry into their robots.txt file — "Disallow: /movies?". Going to the directory it references, you will find a no-nonsense "movie" search for your area. >>

http://www.google.com/movies

That Google Movies page isn't new. The only new thing seems to be that Google now realized it doesn't want to index its own movies search results :)

Reviews are still indexable, by the way.

"No movie critics were used?" Whose work are they quoting from then?

"No movie critics were (..) used in the making of this page." Google didn't use critics when building the page (like in Google News).
