Cinemanow.com offers legal, cheap movies

The days of driving to the video store are now over. You will no longer have to leave the comfort of your home to rent a movie and no longer will you get stuck watching a movie as old as you are because the movie you really wanted to watch was sold out.

The Internet now provides an alternative to renting movies no lines: no late fees and certainly no waiting.

CinemaNow.com is one of the first of its kind for the authorized distribution of feature films and other videos on the Internet. It allows customers to acquire videos online to view anywhere, anytime — whether it be on a desktop, laptop or TV.

“ You can take it with you and watch it on a plane, in the car during a road trip or in the library,” said Jared Goldsmith, director of Marketing for CinemaNow.

With only a click of a button you have access to more than 4,000 titles, ranging from Hollywood hits like “Alexander” and “Hitch” to independent films like “In My Country” and “Chinese Chocolate” to music videos like Green Day’s “American Idiot” and Busta Rhymes’ “Everything Remains Raw.”

“ At CinemaNow, it’s all about options,” Goldsmith said, “and giving our customers a choice.”

CinemaNow, unlike many other sites, gives you an array of choices to legally download or simply rent movies on the Internet.

Videos are available on a pay-per-view, download-to-own and subscription basis. It’s all about “movies on the go,” Goldsmith said as he described the Web site.

For less than a dollar a day, you can subscribe as a member of CinemaNow and have access to most of the media content on the CinemaNow Website.

As a member of the Platinum Club you can download movies, stream news clips from around the world, watch music videos and have secure access to mature content with no limits or hidden restrictions

As a bonus, CinemaNow even lets you sign up for a free seven-day trail with no obligation.

But if becoming a Platinum member is not your thing, no problem, you can rent any movie from the thousands of movie and music titles available on the site for less than $4 per download. You can also buy a video by paying once.

Using the CinemaNow Website is fast and easy. With personalized searches, you can search by entering the title, actor, director name or keyword into the search field.

You can also browse by genre. You can even have your credit card billed directly and not worry about a monthly bill arriving at your door.

CinemaNow offers simple ways to watch your movie; you can choose to watch your video as it downloads in the background or download it in seconds and take it with you.

CinemaNow is the only Website that offers the largest online movie and music catalog that you can legally obtain.

“It is the legal alternative and it’s a fun way to find new content,” Goldsmith said.
