Vudu to be acquired by Fandango Update

  Previously If my missed my post about Fandango acquiring Vudu, you can read it here . While there may have been some cause for concern, it was not the first time that Vudu has been sold. This was the first time that buyer already had their own streaming site. So the question remained, would they maintain both sites. The final answer is: This make sense as FandangoNow appears to be more limited with its digital collection when compared to Vudu. They are going to keep the one with the larger collection. Perks When Walmart owned Vudu, they allowed you to use Walmart gift card to make purchases. During the negotiations, this feature was lost. Recently, Fandango has brought back gift cards for Vudu that now includes FandangoNow gift cards. Walmart gift cards are still not accepted but at least we can now use FandangoNow gift cards. Looking for the best deals, I currently use Bing Rebates to get a percentage back from Sam's Club. I can purchase a digital FandangoNow gift card from Sam...

Black Widow - Movie Review

  Marvel Female Lead I want to set the record straight. While Black Widow is the most anticipated Marvel movie with a female lead and Captain Marvel was the first MCU female lead movie, the internet is wrong. The first Marvel female lead superhero movie was the 2005 Electra movie with Jennifer Garner. A full 14 years prior to Captain Marvel. If we want to go even further, Supergirl in 1984 was probably the first female lead superhero movie of all time. Makes you wonder why they created a Wonder Woman 1984 movie. Granted neither of these movies are considered blockbuster movies but they do exist. Despite what some think, I thought Electra was a good movie. Review I had my reservations for the movie during the first 10 minutes. Probably due to my expectations being pretty high. Once the movie got moving, it did not disappoint with the story. I found it refreshing to actually just enjoy the movie without fully knowing where the story was going. The cast was great and gave great p...

Protecting Your Online Collection

 Protecting Your Collection In this time of cyber crime, you want to protect your investment of digital movies. I will be focusing this page on the primary retailers that connect with Movies Anywhere. At the time of this post, I am only aware of Google and iTunes are the only two retailers that offer secondary authentication. Technically, Amazon offers a secondary authentication with the use of a pin for digital purchases. I highly recommend you use these security feature provided by Amazon, Google, and iTunes. This provides great protection for your collection and any saved credit card information that you have with the retailer. I would not advise keeping your credit card information with a online retailer but I understand it's convenience. With that said, I will point out that users have the ability to removed their credit card information from Amazon, FandangoNow, Google, iTunes (provided you are not using Family Sharing), and Microsoft. This is convenient when one of the retai...
