Watch New Movies Online

June 30th 2008 09:03
Lately, if you haven’t noticed, the cost of going to a movie is ridiculous. Anywhere from 5 to 10 dollars for a ticket, not to mention the price of drinks and popcorn. To be able to truly enjoy a movie at the theater by yourself you had better be ready to part with about 15 bones, if not more. Not to say that movie theaters don’t deliver. There’s a reason they still show movies in theaters. Because they allow you to experience the movie the way it was meant to be experienced. Full immersion into the world of the film. But if you just want to see the movie, there are alternatives. You could wait for it to come out on DVD (or Blu-Ray or VHS, whichever you prefer) or with some of the more popular titles, just wait a few days after the release, then log on to Watch-Movies.net.

W-M.net is a site that hosts videos that are uploaded by users onto other viral video sites (YouTube, MegaVideo ect.) and sorts the links to each film onto their own separate pages complete with the movie poster and a user rating of the film itself. There are usually several different links to different sites for each film, and each link is rated good or bad by users as they watch them depending on how well the link works, and a percentage of good or bad votes is displayed below each link.

Newer films are typically separated into four or six sections to raise the overall file size and therefore raise the quality. It can be a bit of a pain when the Hulk is just about to tear into Abomination and the section ends and you have to click the next link and wait for it to load, but hey, it’s free. None of the new release films I’ve seen are what I would call great quality, the audio sync is often delayed, the video is grainy, and depending where it came from, some of them tend to have Japanese subtitles. There’s also the possibility of laughter during the comedies or the occasional theater-goer who walks in front of the camera, but files with these flaws are typically rated lower by the users. To avoid these flaws altogether, and if there’s nothing in the theater you want to see at the moment, the site also carries a wide array of titles that have been released to DVD.

If you’re worried about legality, Watch-Movies.net is totally legal. It doesn’t host the files themselves, just links to them, and there’s nothing illegal about providing links. The links tend to go down now and then as the files are deleted from their host sites, but the administrators to a pretty good job of rounding up more.

If you love movies and there’s one out there that you’re really excited about, I say shell out the bucks and really enjoy it. (If you’re a girl, just get a guy to take you.) I think this site is great for a casual movie fan or for a film you may enjoy but don’t want to pay for. All that’s required is a decent broadband speed, but you’ll probably need pretty good speakers for a lot of the in-theater files for obvious reasons. Like I said, the files are hit or miss, but that shouldn’t stop you from checking it out.
