Cinema Box - free movie app on Roku

I stumbled on this free movie app on Roku and it's kind odd, to say the least.

Available movies include Harold and Maude, Sleeper, and Slap Shot - to name a few of the comedy movies. There are many categories of titles containing movies I've not seen anywhere  else. 

The search function doesn't work well, if it can be said that it works at all. The only way to really find a movie is to scroll through the hundreds and hundreds of available titles. There is no "save" function or "My List" option. When you start to watch a movie and not finish watching, it seems to only remember that you had watched in a a "Recently viewed" option that just goes away the next time, or next day, when you look to continue to watch. I had a number of titles I started to watch last night, so's I could watch at a later time because there is no save option, only to find out all my selections were gone.

As quirky as this app is there is one thing that I really like. There are no ads - period. No self-promotional type - no cross promotional - no nothing.

I'm going to look for more movies to watch when I can watch the complete movie over the coming days/weeks.

anyways, for what it's worth...





There is no signing-up.

Re: Cinema Box - free movie app on Roku

It's the exact same app as Movieland Tv which has been on there for years. The app is a bit wonky and most of the movies are not in hd quality.
