Before Amazon Unbox, the Netflix
Roku, and
iTunes movie rentals, there was a movie downloading service called
CinemaNow. The service has long been overshadowed by its flashier competitors, but it is hoping to score some new customers by updating its service with a Vista Media Center plug-in that will let you browse and play its films using Vista Media Center's Tivo-like interface.
CinemaNow's selection does leave something to be desired, however. Recent smashes like '
Juno' and '
There Will be Blood' are yours for the taking, but its catalog of older classics and independent films is sorely lacking. Even Akira Kurosawa's classic '
Seven Samurai' and the Scorcese masterpiece '
Raging Bull' are nowhere to be found. [Sourece:
