Looking for a site to watch new release movies brought me to 123movies, but clicking on any link will open a malware or spam page. Closing the infected page out before it loads in your browser can save you some frustration & aggravation, because once it loads, it's hard to defeat. This site has many alias top-level domains at. Com,. In, etc. If you can avoid the malware, it's possible to watch or download movies still playing in theaters, and older titles as well.

Chances are, anyone who navigates to this site is looking into a franchise opportunity in the automated DVD business. The old domain redirects to a new domain name. As a previous owner of these kiosks, I would definitely NOT advise anyone to think about investing in this business.It financially ruined me to the tune of over $75,000, with very little support from this company after they sell you a machine. Did my "due diligence" but back then, in 2009, there was not much info on the business. Now, only registered clients can access the info, but many other reviews are available on this company. Beware!

If you've ever looked for the release date of a movie in theaters that you've just gotta get on DVD or Blu-Ray, or a video game, then look no further than Videoeta.com. This site, like others of its kind, is packed with release dates, entertaining reviews, artwork, and trailers. It loads faster than some sites, has a good search engine, and many in the DVD biz use it as a reference.

I joined this site in 2003, and would not recommend it as a survey site. They have revamped the site since then, making it run smoothly. You're not bombarded with any ads, but depending on your time and preferences, you may be bombarded with more surveys than you can handle. Over the years I've only had time to accumulate enough points for about $200, cashed in $100 through PayPal, and was satisfied with the redemption turnaround time.

I just downgraded my rating & rescinded a recommendation. After being a long-time member, I would take occasional surveys, but even though I logged in occasionally, by not doing any surveys and with almost another $100 on the line, they cancelled my membership. No warning, no reply to emails sent, and the reason was because I had not been active. To me, this is BS.

Other sites did not cancel if I had not logged in for years. To me, this seems to be a tactic to elude paying out after an extended period of inactivity, which appears to not only diminish their website value but an ineptitude in returning loyalty to long-time customers.

If you don't mind a colorful flash site with webpages that load slowly with lots of bells and whistles, this site won't bother you. But trying to navigate the myriad of features, shops, contests, videos, and articles can be a challenge even for the most patient of visitors. Only visit if you can defeat the urge to not just forfeit your time.

This site is a collective of tens of thousands of clear, concise answers given by researchers, writers and editors to common questions in a few dozen categories (from what I can tell primarily to 'what is' questions). It allows users to register and post comments or dispute an answer, and appears to be one of the top "answer" sites online.

Ever see one of those youtube videos that you've just got to save on your pc? This download gives you ad-free software that even includes a converter to change your download to the most common video formats. It's fast and seamless. The best part is that the basic version (which I use) is free, and it's available in a paid pro version with even more features. I've used it for over a year with no problems.

Just signed up for the free version on my iphone. This is a landing site for a phone app. The site has an attractive, smooth-running interface. Haven't tried all the site or app features and/or options yet, but so far, it looks and feels good.

Ever get one of those pesky calls from an 800 number or wonder who it was? This free site has come in handy several times when curiosity got the best of me and I just had to find out who it was calling. It features comments from other folks who got the same call, most times on the same day I got a call.

I don't know much about the French I took, but this site can get you on the right path to any language. It's pretty simple to use, and has an audio as well as a text translation engine.

Good training, educational, and real-time practice site for anyone interested in trying their hand at the stock market. They just re-launched it with a new version. This site could use some optimizing, is slow and confusing at times, and eliminated a user loyalty points program for Amazon cards that attracted me.

Very nice photo site. I like the boards, which enable a user to create themed exhibits. Attractive interface, smooth transitions, no loops or hanging pages so far.

Perhaps the best weather tracking site on the web, but the $279/yr fee is beyond me. I used it when it was free before they created the fee.

As a klout OG, I've waited a long time for them to do some optimizing to create a smoother, faster user experience. Also, as someone with mutiple websites and social media profiles, it's difficult to actually segment the audiences in order for Klout to properly distinguish and dissemate the data, as if it confuses their algorithms. Otherwise, Klout is a fairly interesting source of internet influence.
