Where to Watch Online Movies and Download Them For Free
By admin | September 18, 2008
Do you want to know where and how to watch online movies and download them for free? Does your PC have a high speed Internet connection such as a cable modem or DSL? If it does then you are well on your way to watching movies online, including new released movies online, classic movies online and all of the rest of your favorite films. Don’t laugh, but I’m a big western’s fan and I watch western movies free online as much as I can. In fact, if I did not have a job I would watch movies online all day long. Did I forget to mention that these are full length movies, not just free movie trailer downloads.
Not only will I tell how you can watch all of the new released movies online you want, but I am also going to tell you where to find this awesome site that let’s you download unlimited free TV shows and movies online while you are watching free online movie streams. But, hold on a minute, because along with all of your free movie downloads and free TV show downloads, you can also download free games, anime, software, ringtones, wallpaper and more.
Do you find yourself renting a lot of movies? Whenever the new released movies hit the theaters, many people find themselves sitting in front of the big screen with a tub of popcorn in their lap and a boat load of money gone from their wallet. The prices we pay to watch a new release blockbuster has gotten out of hand (or is that out of wallet). The Hollywood film industry is an enormous business and the movie producers are more than willing to gamble millions of dollars making movies because they know that movie lovers like ourselves are willing to cough up their hard earned money to go the movie theater and watch their film. If we don’t fork over our cash at the movie theater the movie moguls have a back-up plan. Can you say DVD?
Video palaces like Blockbuster are only too happy to help us spend the money that we tried saving by not going to the movie theater. Can’t get to your local video store to rent or buy new released DVD’s? No problem, the movie industry has that covered too. Blockbuster and Netflix will mail them right to your mailbox. It used to be cheap to enjoy a good movie, but no more. Well, I for one have had it. Sometime during the last two Presidential terms a recession has invaded our economy and it is only getting more expensive to live.
Understandably, we have to cut back during these bleak times, but we still need some entertainment or we will all go mad! Joining an unlimited free movie downloads membership is how you can save a bunch of money and watch all of the movies you want, whenever you want. By joining a free online movies membership you can watch the latest movies online for next to nothing. If you do what I do you can even build yourself a massive movie library that will be the envy of your neighborhood. Whenever I enjoy watching a movie online, I either burn it to a DVD or copy it to CD. I now have a library of over 60 movie titles. They are not a bunch of B rated movies like you would expect for free movie downloads. These are mostly all blockbusters like “Braveheart”, “Gladiator”, “Shawshank Redemption”, “The Green Mile”, “The Harry Potter Movie Series” and “The Lord of the Rings Trilogy” to name just a few great movies that I first watched online. I also enjoy watching TV movies online as well as the TV series and just like the online movies I watch and then copy afterwards, I do the same with the TV shows I like. I now have a couple of seasons of “24″ plus “Lost” and “Heroes” (my favorite). Keep reading and learn how I do it.
So how you can save money and watch movies online 24/7, plus build yourself a massive movie library that will make your friends jealous? The first thing you want to do is find a reputable unlimited free movie downloads review site. They review all of the different sites that offer free downloadable movies and recommend the very best ones. There are a lot of scam sites that say you can watch movies online for free but when the smoke clears you end up paying a lot of money or are downloading someone’s backyard quality videos. I will leave you a link for a good movie review site in the resource box below.
Next, I am going to tell you how to find an unlimited free movie downloads site that has “Value”. All of the really good unlimited free movie downloads sites charge a one time only membership fee you need to join prior to getting all of your free movie downloads. These one time membership fee’s only cost between $35 and $50 and before you begin running around the room yelling “I knew it, it’s a Scam! It’s a Scam!” allow me to explain to you exactly what the membership fee is all about and how it benefits you in your quest to download free online movies.
When you join a membership to download free online movies, the first place you will enter is called the members area. A good members area should have everything you will require to watch movies online, download free movies and copy or burn movies to CD’s and/or DVD’s. There should plenty of easy to understand step-by-step tutorials, manuals and/or videos to show you how to download free online movies. In addition to gaining access to all of your unlimited free movie downloads, the members area is where you will also gain access to the databases for free TV show downloads, free software downloads, free music and music video downloads as well as free ringtones, wallpaper, eBooks, game cheats, music lyrics and more. It costs money to keep the members area up to date with the latest movies, music, games and more, not to mention giving you around the clock technical support in case you run into any problems.
Finally, it can get very expensive to keep a website going online. When I began my website it cost me $15 in hosting fees per month. As my site grew in popularity and my traffic increased, so did my hosting fees, and a year later my site costs me over $200 per month. If my site costs that much to host, I can only imagine what an unlimited free movie downloads site costs with the amount of traffic they receive on a daily basis.
I told you all of this rather boring stuff so you could understand why there is a membership fee. The world would indeed be a nicer place if people we didn’t even know were willing to spend all of that money so we could download free online movies, TV shows and more. As it is, look at the value we are getting. Remember my personal library of 60 movies? If you wanted to build a similar sized library of Hollywood blockbuster films, it would cost you roughly $1200 to purchase them at your local video store.
By joining an unlimited free movie downloads site, for less than $50 you not only get to download free online movies, one of my favorite free movie download sites lets you watch online movies while you are waiting for your downloads. If you break it down, my library of 60 crystal clear DVD quality movies cost me less than $0.90 per movie, and that is not including my free TV show downloads, free games, software, music, music video’s plus everything else I have downloaded for my personal use. Here is the best part. I can continue downloading free online movies, TV shows and the rest for a lifetime with absolutely no more fees. Talk about value and these sites are completely adware and spyware free. We were just talking about my movie collection, but this can be your collection of free online movies that we are talking about. You can gain immediate access to all the free online movies you desire today! See you at the movies!

Next Movie - Review
By admin | September 18, 2008
Based on the novel “The Golden Man” by Philip K. **** and Directed by Lee Tamahori (Die Another Day), NEXT features Nicolas Cage, Julianne Moore, Jessica Biel, Thomas Kretschmann, Tory Kittles, and Peter Falk. NEXT is also co-produced by Cage, who has starred in such box office hits as National Treasure, Gone in Sixty Seconds, Con Air, and Face/Off. NEXT is slated for theatrical release on April 27, 2007.
A potpourri of magic, terrorism and a built-in nuclear holocaust threatening to unleash itself, NEXT is focused around Cris Johnson (or should we say, “Magic” Johnson?) – a showroom magician from Las Vegas.
Cris has a secret gift which is not as menacing as the multiplier-effect of “The Prestige,” but equally tormenting with its limitations as well as potential. Cris Johnson has the ability to peek into the future, but only a few minutes into it. It’s difficult to change the future if all you got are a few minutes, right? Still there are things he can influence the outcome of, hence the extreme interest of certain organizations in his abilities, with their own vested interests.
Fed up by the interest-overkill in his unnatural gift by the outside world – government and medical establishment, and the numerous examinations he underwent as a child — he goes underground. Maintaining a low profile under an assumed name in Vegas, he gets by, performing cheap tricks and living off small-time gambling “winnings”. But especially gifted people are also especially “wanted” — in this case, for a big-time requirement.
Everything is fine until a terrorist group threatens to detonate a nuclear device in Los Angeles. The countdown to extinction begins and time is running out. Government agent Callie Ferris uses all of her smiles and wiles to weed out and corner Cris to convince the tormented hero into helping her stop the imminent cataclysm and beat the ticking clock. Cris is ultimately faced with the daunting choice of saving the world or — hold your breath — the woman he loves. Ah, is that cliché or what? And all that in just under a couple of hours!
An action thriller, NEXT was shot in Los Angeles. Gary Goldman, Executive Producer, told Variety, “This is a movie that translates the excitement of the videogame experience into cinema.”
NEXT, is a Saturn Films/Broken Road Production, with Gary Goldman, Jason Koornick, and Ben Waisbren as Executive Producers. It is produced by Nicolas Cage, Norm Golightly, Todd Garner, Arne L. Schmidt and Graham King.

Movie Review : Kismat Konnection
By admin | September 18, 2008
Kismat Konnection falls under the league of feel-good NRI love stories having a customary Indian narration in some foreign location. The kinds where every person the hero even randomly stumbles upon speaks to him in Hindi. The kinds where the hero is still named Raj Malhotra. Where’s the story, you ask? Left to chance…fate, destiny, luck or Kismat as you may call it.
Raj Malhotra (Shahid Kapoor) is the university topper but somehow luck isn’t favouring him. Five years post graduation he is still jobless and waiting for his first assignment as an architect. Kismat connects as he comes across Priya (Vidya Balan) who happens to be his lucky charm. In her presence even the impossible turns achievable for Raj who desperately seeks her company in all his endeavours from employment to affection.
Kismat Konnection starts on a promising note but soon resorts to conventional formula. The second half drags with Raj’s repeated attempts to win the construction contract. The love triangle is clearly off-track and is simply enforced to manipulate that mandatory sangeet song sequence to appease the family and NRI audiences. This time around, Shahid Kapoor display a hangover of… not no Shah Rukh but Amitabh Bachchan in the initial reels and also does a complete take on his extended Namak Halaal dialogue.
Nevertheless, he soon comes to his usual self and gives a sincere performance. Vidya Balan carries a graceful charm and is natural as ever. Om Puri is effective in his imposing character with a Punjabi accent. Vishal Malhotra repeats his friendly act for the nth time. Age has caught up with Juhi Chawla and it shows onscreen.
Concisely, the film only connects with the viewer intermittently and a lot has been left to Kismat.
Starring: Shahid Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Juhi Chawla, Om Puri, Vishal Malhotra,
Director: Aziz Mirza

Movie Review: Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants 2
By admin | September 18, 2008
Now, I am probably about 15 years older than the girls in this movie, and I am a man. Fortunately, I had no trouble empathizing with the four young women who are bound to friendship through their magical bifurcated nether garment(fancy word for pants) — more so than I did with the *** and the City gang, who are much closer to my age, but still, 180 Degrees different from my gender.
Like *** and the City, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 works better if you know the characters already through their previous appearances, because you’re already emotionally invested in them. I hadn’t read the young-adult novels by Ann Brashares, but my sister, who is a big fan, filled me in and we determined that this movie is based mostly on the fourth book in the series, with a few changes, so even if you’ve read the books you get some surprises. Don’t think that you are at a loss if you have not read any of the novels, as you are still able to get a good understanding of each character, and the story lines are easy to follow.
The chief problem is the four-part storyline, which, like the first film, finds the main characters separated for the summer and keeping in touch by sending back and forth the “magical pants” remember bifurcated nether garments? that fits all four of them. Be prepared to follow this movie along the four different storylines. This time it’s the summer after freshman year of college for the girls, and while Carmen (America Ferrera) plans to spend the break at home with her pals, the others have bigger plans. Tibby (Amber Tamblyn) sticks around NYU to work at a video store and work on her screenplay, Bridget (Blake Lively) treks off to an archaeological dig in Turkey, and Lena (Alexis Bledel) takes a figure drawing class in Rhode Island.
A pair of secondhand jeans inset with rhinestones plays a major role in “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.” Anyone who saw the first movie or read the novels that inspired the films will be familiar with these well-worn bottoms. They serve as a bond among four girlfriends. Each can magically squeeze into them, although the pals are different sizes and shapes.
Their lives, already starting to pull apart in the first “Pants,” rip apart further in this thoroughly engaging sequel, which has some gems of wisdom to impart but does so gently. With one year of college now over, the girls are on the cusp of becoming full blown grown ups. Holding on to the past is difficult when the future keeps intruding. To remind themselves of what they had together as best friends, they mail the gritty jeans to one another at various summer ports of call.
During their summers, the four women deal with issues of trust, love, guilt, and value. Partially due to their separate adventures, and partially due to their increased independence and individuality, the girls primarily go through their journeys of discovery on their own, and develop their own independence. At times, the increased separation between them is obviously apparent. At others, it becomes an opening for a strong cast of supporting characters/mentors to shine. But at the end of the day, the girls prove that while there are certain things they must discover on their own, they will always be there for each other and to provide that kind of guidance and support that a tight bond can only do.
Most impressing was that these women seemed to come away from their challenges stronger, wiser, and, for the most part, in places better than where they were before. At the end, you get the sense that they actually are in healthy relationships, that they have learned from their mistakes, and that love and friendship have in fact triumphed over selfishness and isolation.
And while there’s an element of fantasy to much of the movie, serious issues, including teen pregnancy and mental illness, lurk beneath the cinematic sheen.
Like its predecessor, “Sisterhood 2″ is based on two radical ideas: namely, that young women’s stories are about more than the pursuit of men, and that happiness isn’t something that you are given, or is something that is external. It is inside you, and you need to find it for yourself.
This is a great teen movie, or even a great mother daughter movie to wind up the Summer with. With a strong cast and engaging story line, “Sisterhood 2″ is a wonderful second spin around the block.

How to Choose the Best Sources of Movie Reviews
By admin | September 17, 2008
movies is a social experience. We watch movies with friends, families, colleagues, and with anyone else that is good company. So to enhance this experience, and to make sure that we get the most pleasurable experience from watching movies, we do things to ensure that we go to only the best movies, or those that we tend to enjoy tremendously. And so, the process of choosing movies begins, but where does it start? Everyone used to get all the information from traditional media like magazines or the newspapers. But with the Internet, people are sourcing for movie reviews everywhere.
Now, they can read what the movie critics have to say, read all the reviewers’ opinions, scour through tons of feedback by fans who actually watched the movies, and the best part, they can preview the movies by watching online movie trailers. The Internet has quickly become the most important medium for fans to source for information and communicate. So now, in a very virtual way, we can all share movie experiences with someone halfway across the globe. We see some comments on a movie review site, and we respond to those comments.
After a few visits to movie review sites, you would probably have observed that they all have a few characteristics in common. They update their sites with fresh content, almost on a daily basis. So visitors have a strong incentive to revisit these sites every day. They have intuitive designs that look great, so that visitors have no problem navigating the site and finding whatever they are looking for. They also have very few broken links and videos. Some sites I come across have all the makings of a top-notch movie review site, but when I want to watch the movies, I realized the most of the videos are broken. As you can guess, I never returned to this site ever again.
Having killer content is certainly a good thing, but what exactly is considered killer content? Does having movie trailers with a few sentences and a star rating count as killer content? That is typical of traditional movie reviews, and you can get a ton of such content easily on thousands of websites on the Internet. The better sites take great pains to differentiate themselves from the rest of the sites. The way to do this, is to leave their opinions. These sites don’t just leave reviews that look more like testimonials. They take a stand and speak their minds. If they don’t like it, they say it, and they justify it.
And you know what? Visitors do enjoy visiting sites with valuable opinions. It gives them abundant opportunities to respond to these reviews, and state their own opinions as well. Finally, someone has bothered to speak up and now, they have a new channel to express their own opinions and have the world hearing their “voices”.
Reading these opinions can really be as enjoyable (if not more) as watching the actual movie itself. That’s because there is interaction. Surely, you must have been entertained by some comments that you’ve come across on movie review sites, so much so that they brought a smile to your face and made your day. That’s the effect of a high quality movie review site.

How To Enjoy The Movies Without Wasting Your Time Or Money
By admin | September 17, 2008
It’s hard to keep up with the onslaught of movie releases these days. It seems that the movie studios practically conspire to drown us in a tidal wave of big-screen entertainment.
But, fear not. In this article, I’m going to give you three valuable resources that you can use to start saving your time and money while still enjoying the best movies that the studios have to offer.
If you’re ready, let’s get started…
1. http://www.rogerebert.com
You’ve likely heard of Roger Ebert. He is one of the most popular and influential movie critics alive. A movie can flourish or fail at the box office based solely upon what Ebert says about the movie. His ability to dissect a movie, analyze it and offer a fair review has led many savvy moviegoers to consult this site prior to choosing a movie to watch.
2. http://www.rottentomatoes.com
Relying upon the verdict of merely one critic may seem foolhardy to you. If that’s the case, you’ll enjoy this site. It gathers the reviews of dozens of movie critics (some are well-known, high-profile critics) and issues a “Tomatometer” rating based upon the consensus. Use this site as a barometer of how a movie is generally received by movie critics.
3. http://movie-reviews.colossus.net/movies.html
James Berardinelli started his movie review career from humble beginnings, but quickly earned the respect of other critics like Roger Ebert. Today, Berardinelli is considered one of the most credible movie reviewers online. One of the benefits of reading Berardinelli’s reviews is that he often disagrees with Ebert. Rather than having to choose sides, you’ll likely find both critics offer great arguments and reading their reviews offers different perspectives on the same movie.
One last tip to make your moviegoing experiences as good as it can be…
If you find that a new movie has not been reviewed by Roger Ebert or James Berardinelli, avoid seeing that movie. These two critics are extremely dedicated to their work. If they have not reviewed a movie at the time of its release, it is likely that the studio responsible for the movie did not offer pre-screenings for movie critics. That is usually a sign that the studio lacks confidence in the movie and wants to make as much money as possible on the movie’s release weekend before the movie dies.
I’ve given you three online resources that you can use (starting this weekend) to save your time and money by avoiding bad films. While Ebert and Berardinelli offer critical reviews that dig deep into a movie in order to analyze it, RottenTomatoes.com offers a general barometer so you can get a feeling of the general consensus of movie critics about a movie.
Each of the three resources mentioned in this article offer comprehensive archives. Use these archives to test whether you agree with Ebert, Berardinelli and RottenTomatoes on past films. If you find you DO agree, you can feel comfortable placing your trust in these resources for future movie picks.
Hopefully, you can use the resources above to make the most of your next moviegoing experience.

Pineapple Express Movie Review: Thumbs up?
By admin | September 17, 2008
In the tradition of your best lovable buddies, Cheech & Chong, Reyn and Stimpy, Beavis and Butthead, Pinky and the Brain, comes “Pineapple Express,” a stoner comedy that partakes of the lovable comaradarie that buddies share, not to mention a few bong hits, before hitting the hard stuff for a major John Woo action-style blowup.
If you think you’ve seen this movie before, you probably have caught its multiple inspirations. It was written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who took their own adolescent antics and gave us “Superbad,” a charming smutfest about three hormonally freaked-out teenage boys. In some respects “Pineapple Express” plays out like the follow up to but a nastier version of the previous shoot em up, growing up, “Super Bad.”
Rogen plays Dale Denton, a process server who eases the tension of serving subpoenas upon unsuspecting victims by being stoned as much as possible. Throughout the early moments of the film we see Dale dressing in a variety of costumes as he carries out his job serving folks subpoenas, divorce papers and other varieties of unwanted legal documents. It is an early source for comedy and it is used wisely and sparingly. His final drop for the night is with a man named Ted (Gary Cole) who ironically turns out to be Saul’s bud supplier. The thing is Saul’s bud is so potent and special, that it can easily be traced back to the user.
So when Dale is the only witness to a murder in Ted’s living room involving a crooked cop, Ted and brains splattered all over the window he forgets his delivery and high-tails it out of there. In “Pineapple Express,” as it happens, the getting of the ultimate joint is never as thorny as the disposing of it. In his haste to leave the scene he is seen and his abandoned roach becomes a link back to Saul as Ted recognizes the strain he sold Saul, and Saul alone. Saul’s revered pineapple express is so rare, remember, that it is easily traceable back to its smoker.
This becomes a vexing issue for Dale when he leaves a roach behind at the scene of a crime he has just witnessed, the murder of an Asian crime boss at the hands of a corrupt cop ( Rosie Perez) and her drug lord lover (Gary Cole). Our boys are on the run and our film has a plot.
Finding himself a gangland target, Dale efficiently implicates his high-school-aged girlfriend Angie (Amber Heard), her parents ( Ed Begley Jr. and Nora Dunn) and the epically out-of-it Saul.
The strange thing about the film though is when they called it an action comedy, they weren’t kidding. While the action is mostly played for laughs, it’s also cool on its own, and pretty hardcore, make no mistake this is a hard R movie. For example remember that scene in Kill Bill where Uma Thurman and Vivaca Fox turn her living room into dust. There’s a scene like that in Pineapple Express, at the house of a nigh indestructible drug middle man named Red who damn near steals the movie, except that the fight spirals out into different rooms onto different floors escalating in madness until a pitch perfect beat involving a bathroom sink threatens to cause you to herniated with laughter and squirm in your seat at the same time.
Taking producer and story credit roles is Judd Apatow, a man that after 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up could do no wrong. Then after he produced Superbad it seemed there was no failing. Raunchy humor seemed to be the big appeal. The thing is **** and **** jokes are starting to wear on audiences just as did torture ****… and quickly.
People will enjoy this film, it isn’t a movie anyone should really walk out of disappointed. The finale pretty much guarantees you should walk away happy as it is easily the best part of the production, but that doesn’t mean its early faults should be overlooked. The film had alot of media and build up since last year, so there should be alot of audience for the film, but it will be interesting to see if it will rise up to any kind of critical acclaim that “Knocked Up” and “The Forty Year Old Virgin” received. Overall, the movie is average, and if you’ve had a little of your own pineapple express before seeing the movie, then you should enjoy it just fine.
