I’m signed up for an Amazon.com e-newsletter called Screening Room. Basically, it’s just a list of what is up and coming and movie releases.
Sometimes they have free goodies on there. Today there are a few that folks might be interested in. Plot is provided by Amazon. I don’t know how long they will stay free so catch them while you can, and make sure it says “FREE” when you click. don’t complain to me later if you get a bill ;)
