Video Downloads Are Great For Movie Lovers
By:Ray La Foy
Anyone who loves movies is likely to love movie downloads, too. The fact is this trend is becoming a big one and it's great for those who want to create large collections without having to dole out top dollar or premium house space to do so.
Video downloads are now available legally from all sorts of big movie studios and even television networks, as well. A video collection created digitally has a number of advantages over regular disk purchases, too. The biggest perks of video downloads involve the storage issues and pricing.
But, why?
Video downloads are generally a few dollars or more less than a regular DVD buy because there is no packaging issues to contend with. Plus, there's the simple fact delivery isn't an issue either. Since the companies that sell downloads save on shipping and the movie studios save on packaging, they can pass on some of these savings directly to buyers.
In regard to storage, it's a simple fact of space. It's a whole lot easier to store movies on a computer drive or a backup drive than it is to hold 100 videos in a room. There's no need for shelf after shelf or tons of DVD towers when a collection is created via video download. Management of movies and television downloads can be a whole lot easier, too. It's pretty simple to create folders on the computer to store movies by genre and it's a whole lot quicker, too.
Video downloads are becoming the favorites of many for a reason beyond storage or pricing. This reason is variety. The fact is the kinds of downloads available can be literally mind boggling. Let's look at what kinds of video downloads can be found legally:
Hit movies
Just about every new movie that hits the theaters will end up in a legal download format shortly after release. This means there's no need to run to the video store, or worse, pay top dollar at a theater to see a new release.
Classics
As the movie download business becomes more popular, many studios are going through their catalogues and offering downloads of their older movies. From the classics of the 1920s to holiday favorites of the 1980s, they can all be found via video download. And, if a title can't be found right now, it's likely it will be added soon as every major movie studio falls into place offering downloads via a number of different sites.
Television programs
As the movie studios jump on the bandwagon, so too are the television studios. Hit shows from all decades can be found by the season or by the episode via video download.
Original works
There are tons of locations to get video downloads from amateur or little known creators. These videos might not have the financial backing of some of the major movies in history, but that doesn't mean there isn't some good entertainment out there. Indie works are getting a whole new audience thanks to video downloads and the Internet.
Video downloads provide their users with an on demand aspect, price savings and storage issue reduction that regular DVD buys cannot. As this new format becomes more and more accepted, it's becoming the method of choice for buying and watching movies.

- 1). Alias (Season 3) DVD Review By : Britt Gillette
One of the highest rated shows of its era, Alias maintains a loyal cult following swept away by its intriguing suspense and action-packed drama. Jennifer Garner stars in the lead role of Sydney Anne Bristow, a beautiful and cerebral recruit tasked to work for a secret government entity, the SD-6 agency. But problems confront her when she eventually realizes that SD-6 is not the government agency she thinks.

- 2). Star Trek (Season 3) DVD Review By : Britt Gillette
Winner of countless awards and unsurpassed audience devotion, the original Star Trek TV series follows the adventures of the crew aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise as they “boldly go where no man has gone before…” Led by Captain Kirk (William Shatner), an astronaut who displays the character traits necessary for the Earth mission’s survival, the Enterprise crew includes Lt.

- 3). How The Grinch Stole Christmas (DVD) Review By : Britt Gillette
One of a handful of essential, "must-see" animated Christmas classics, How The Grinch Stole Christmas is a Dr. Seuss holiday masterpiece. Created in 1966 on the heels of the phenomenal success surrounding such TV specials as A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964), the Grinch has morphed into a sacred annual Christmas rite perfect for any child from one to ninety-two.

- 4). Hostel By : Sam Vaknin
The movie "Hostel" (2005) is a potent depiction of gore and graphic horror. More subtly, it is also a counterfactual and jingoistic political allegory for the post 9-11 age.
A couple of wholesome American youths (one of them a Jew) are nabbed by a ring of east Europeans who cater to the depraved needs of sadists by providing them with fresh supplies of torture victims.

- 5). The Simpsons (Season 3) DVD Review By : Britt Gillette
In the late-1980s, a one-minute segment on The Tracy Ullman Show (since long forgotten, except in trivia questions) morphed into its own series. That series was The Simpsons, and it became an anchor for the then-burgeoning FOX network. With a wildly original cast of oddball characters, The Simpsons instantly struck a chord with audiences, becoming the longest running prime time show among all genres, not just the animation genre.

- 6). Macgyver (Season 3) DVD Review By : Britt Gillette
One of the best shows of the 1980s, MacGyver has a dedicated fan base even to this day. Richard Dean Anderson plays the role of MacGyver, a cerebral and charismatic agent of the Phoenix Foundation for Research. A different hero even by the standards of today’s TV series, MacGyver had an exaggerated fear of heights. He was also a pacifist who never relied on weapons, but instead on the ability to deploy his brain and think his way out of dangerous situations.

- 7). King Of The Hill (DVD) Review By : Britt Gillette
Initially aired following the 1997 Super Bowl, King of the Hill discovered an instant audience niche that has the followed the show loyally ever since. The brainchild of Beavis and Butthead creator Mike Judge (also known for the hit movie Office Space), King of the Hill is a unique animated series in that it doesn't rely on "cartoon" suspension of reality or outlandish antics.

- 8). The Matrix By : Sam Vaknin
It is easy to confuse the concepts of "virtual reality" and a "computerized model of reality (simulation)". The former is a self-contained Universe, replete with its "laws of physics" and "logic". It can bear resemblance to the real world or not. It can be consistent or not. It can interact with the real world or not. In short, it is an arbitrary environment.

- 9). ER (DVD) Review By : Britt Gillette
Nominated for 25 Golden Globes and 110 Emmys, including 7 for Outstanding Drama Series, ER has long been one of the best prime-time shows on television. Premiering in September 1994 on NBC, the hour-long hospital drama vividly illustrates the intensity and fast-paced stress endemic to hospital emergency rooms across America. Brought into being by Michael.

- 10). The Dukes Of Hazzard (Season 4) DVD Review By : Britt Gillette
For much of the early 1980s, the CBS prime time line-up was dominated by two shows: Dallas and The Dukes Of Hazzard. Following the adventures of the fictional Duke family of Hazzard County, Georgia, the series chronicled their endless struggles with local law enforcement officer Rosco P. Coltrane and his domineering supervisor, J.D. "Boss" Hogg. Cousins.

- 3). Just Like Heaven (DVD) Review By : Britt Gillette
One of the hidden gems of 2005, Just Like Heaven was overshadowed by the usual commercial blockbusters and Academy Award nominees. But this cute little film is the very embodiment of the movie going experience. Fitting easily into the “chick flick” genre, Just Like Heaven isn’t a sappy, drawn-out love story filled with clichés and over-the-top dialogue.

- 4). North And South (DVD) Review By : Britt Gillette
Based on the best-selling novels by John Jakes, North And South premiered as a highly celebrated and critically acclaimed television series in 1985. In the spirit of Gone With The Wind, the novels cover 19th Century America before, during, and after the Civil War. As with the Margaret Mitchell classic, Jakes creates a larger-than-life cast of characters.

- 5). Family Guy (Season 3) DVD Review By : Britt Gillette
Having first aired after the 1999 Super Bowl, Family Guy really hit its stride via cable re-runs and DVD sales (prompting Fox to announce the launch of Season 4 in May 2005, following the show's original cancellation following Season 3). An animated series building a similar cult following to The Simpsons and Futurama, Family Guy employs its own unique brand of humor distinct to its other animated peers…
Family Guy follows the life and exploits of Peter Griffin, an idiotic family man flanked by his intelligent and loving wife, Lois.

- 7). Star Trek (Season 2) DVD Review By : Britt Gillette
Recipient of four Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Dramatic Series on two occasions in its short three-year run, Star Trek is a science-fiction legend among television viewers. The creation of former Los Angeles police officer Gene Roddenberry, the series first aired in Fall 1966 but was cancelled because of low ratings. It might have been NBC executives who were really responsible for the low ratings seeing as how they placed the show in a horrible time slot.
