Fantasy: This year is bound to see the release of the much awaited Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. As the series draws to a close and Harry Potter grows up, this is one movie that no kid or adult is going to miss this year. Another awaited fantasy/ book based movie of 2009 is Where the Wild Things Are. An adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s children’s classic, where a small boy creates his own imaginary world of monsters and wild things, this book has been in the news for a lot of reasons. The movie however, may be geared towards the adult population.

Drama: Hollywood is high on drama in 2009, and we see almost all current screen stalwarts starring in some emotional or moral drama this year. The Soloist, starring Robert Downey Jr as a journalist and Jamie Foxx as a schizophrenic musical prodigy is based on a true heart wrenching storyline. As per most experts, this might be a favourite at the 2009 Oscars. Also, Quentin Tarantino’s latest, Inglourious Basterds, a flick about a group of Jewish-American soldiers and their brutal Nazi killings is a must watch for war movie/action/drama fans. Expect the trademark Tarantino violence and a star studded cast with Brad Pitt, Mike Myers, Samuel L. Jackson, Eli Roth and other notables.

Prequels and Sequels: This year is going to be full of popular prequels and sequels. X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a prequel, promises to be a treat for X-men fans, since the story deals with the origin of the X-Men and how it all came to be. Gambit, who has been till date missing from the big screen, debuts in this one. Boondock Saints 2: All Saints’ Day and fourth instalment from the F&F series, the Fast and Furious 4 promise to keep cult fans entertained.

Book Based: 2009 sees big books going to the big screen. The Watchmen, which is based on one of the best graphic novels ever is a highly anticipated release, especially with 300 director Zack Snyder behind the camera. The prequel to the Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, again starring Tom Hanks as symbologist Robert Langdon in his adventures at the Vatican is much awaited in spite of the poor performance of the Code.

Action: The Terminator returns in 2009 with Terminator: Salvation and so do the Transformers with Transformers: Rise of the Fallen. Star Trek promises some high quality sci fi action while the Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian and other notable movies will keeps action fans entertained through 2009.

The traditional method of watching movies involved going to the theater or watching movies at the home theater by renting movie videos. Though visiting theatres or watching movies on the DVDs are still popular options, another method, which is giving them a run for their money, is watching movies online. Another plus point is that in most cases the movies are free of charge.

Watching movies online may result in a compromise as far as quality if you don’t have the right software installed in your computer. Otherwise you will find that the quality of the picture is very low and the picture continues to flicker, thereby spoiling the movie.

First of all, you need to have the right cable connection. This means you must select the right modem speed. For example, if your modem’s speed is 64 kb, the movie will not start playing immediately. This is because movie files are streaming videos involving mpg or mpg4 files. These files need to first build a buffer in the computer and only after that will the movies begin playing seamlessly. On the other hand, if you have a 256 kb connection, your movie will begin to play instantly. This is because the download time with this speed is much faster.

Also, as stated before the movie files are mpg or mpg4 files that need to build up a buffer before actually beginning to play and therefore the amount of space you have in your computer will also make a difference.

The movie should begin to play in five minutes. If it doesn’t start or you see a broken Q image in the middle of the screen, it means that you don’t have the Quicktime movie player installed on your system.

Apart from a stable cable connection, you also need the QuickTime movie player installed in your system. Most computers already have this software installed. Otherwise you can download it from the net itself.

Any movie site that comes without spending cash is a welcome opportunity for users to enjoy the product without having to worry about the hole it would make in their pocket.

Not everything that is free gives total satisfaction to individuals using it. But movies that come in varied forms ranging from adventures, comedies and science fiction have immense appeal making free movie downloads from the Internet a great source of delight to the users. Free Internet movie downloads can also refer to non-feature movies, such as newscasts, cartoons, even commercials.

Downloading movies today is a relatively new technological marvel. But several factors have been considered a bane for smooth downloading, notably the huge size of the video files coupled with slow downloading speeds. However, through notable advancements in related technology, more and more people are searching for movies online.

There are a large number of web-based systems that give a varied choice of movies to viewers. They are free and legal and available through a media player installed in your system. Media players are usually included as standard software in most modern computers. However, some websites offer movies that require you to download their own media player for viewing. Be careful of viruses when you do so. Make sure you have a good virus scanner like McAfee or Norton.

Viewing a spine chilling, blockbuster Hollywood movie downloaded off the Internet can be a source of great pleasure to those who have a penchant for using the computer to satisfy their needs.

With unlimited free movie downloads it does not matter if the movie trailer is just a bunch of hype or not. If I download the movie and it stinks, no big deal because the only thing that I have lost is time and not much of that because the movie downloaded while I was sleeping.
