It is gross but you can commandeer the one from "Showtimes". It can be configured to call a file named "getdata.exe". This file comes with "Showtimes" and goes out to the web to grab movie listing data. You can either extend it with new lines at the bottom (if you like "Showtimes") or just replace it. The conduit works great.
