Default [Merged] Movie Central on Demand - Now Free Movies from Shaw
[Updated with current movie list as of April 15th]

Here's a great freebie for those of you on Shaw Cable, a digital cable box, and subscribe to Movie Central...

Shaw Movie Central on Demand now has Movie Central movies for FREE! (I assume these are all movies that are on Movie Central this month, but On Demand lets you watch them at your leisure).

Normally, this service costs $6 per month, but it seems that some of the movies are now free!

If you press "Shaw on Demand" on your remote control, and scroll down to "Movie Central" in the menu, and then select "Movies", you will see that all of the prices are $0.00 for all of the movies in that category.

Currently, these are some of the movies on there for free [Last update: April 15th, 2009]:

28 Weeks Later
88 Minutes
American Gangster
Atonement
Baby Mama
Control
Eagle vs. Shark
Harry Potter - Order of the Phoenix
Iron Man
Joy Division
Leatherheads
Made of Honor
Margot at the Wedding
Mr. Brooks
Obama Inaugural Celebration
Sex and the City
Showstoppers
Smokin' Aces
Sweeney Todd
The Bourne Ultimatum
The Clique
The Heartbreak Kid
The Love Guru
There Will be Blood
Things We Lost in the Fire
Untraceable
Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story

There are also HBO series and other shows available for free, including a large number of Karaoke song videos!

Also note that these are not ALL movies that are supposed to be available to Movies on Demand subscribers.

The page here:
http://www.moviecentral.ca/aboutmc/O...MConDemand.pdf
describes what is supposed to be available through Movie Central on Demand, but many of those described there do not appear for me.

I am beginning to think this is some sort of temporary free trial? Or, has this been available all along, and I just never noticed many of the movies were free before???

That's the thing, they aren't in the free listings...

If you press 'B' to go to the video on demand, and select 'Movie Central', then select 'Movies' that's where they are appearing for me.

I don't seem to have a "Movie Central" option anywhere in the VOD menus, although I vaguely remember having one when I had the free trial of the premium channels. Do you have Movie Central (the channel)? That's probably why you have the option to watch these for free.

Not a freebie because you have to have a certain cable package and a box both of which are not free to get these free previews. I find it so dumb that the cable companies do these "free" previews and not everyone can get them.

Yes I do, but normally the Movie Central video on demand service costs $6 per month.

I think it's like that every month.

In fact, looks like less stuff there to me than usual, but it's been a while since I checked.

I am surprised that there is as much in there as there is... Actual regular movies in there for free like Good Shepherd, Hairspray, and several others for free.
