Wowsers! AOL launched a promotion that lets subscribers of its broadband service download full-feature films for free through Movielink. This almost is a temptation to get me to sign up, but unfortunately I do not have a local number for AOL and the telephone company would tack on a surcharge to my bill for access.
Stll the promotion sounds pretty good. Under the program, the companies will make 10 'classic titles,' including 'Steel Magnolias' and 'Against All Odds,' available for free in the first month. In subsequent months, five movies will be offered. Once downloading is complete, customers have 30 days to watch the film and 24 hours to complete it, once viewing begins.
The words, 'classic titles', does give me pause however. I interpret it to mean 'only from a limited list of our choosing and you have no other choices'.
