This practice of ripping a film to pieces en masse based on even just its existence is becoming an even more prevalent trend, in some cases affecting the success of the film on release. So why on earth are we proclaiming a film the antichrist before anyone on the planet has seen the damn thing?▸ Most of us have Netflix, and some of us might even luxuriate in the divine presence of Stan. It’s safe to say that subscription services are on the rise, and have revolutionised the home entertainment market. So what about the out-of-home market? Founded in 2011, Moviepass is a service in the U.S. that lets you see one film a day in the cinema for a mere $9.95 per month - that’s basically less than a single ticket! With a similar service to supposedly launch in the UK, is it time Australia followed suit, and would you sign up for it?Competitions▸ Win one of five copies of 'Paddington 2' on Blu-ray (https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/win-paddington-2-bring-this-adorable-bear-into-your-home)▸ Win one of five copies of 'Duckman' The Complete Series (https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/win-duckman-the-complete-series-adults-only-animation-from-the-90s-now-on-dvd)▸ Win one of five copies of 'Murder On The Orient Express' on Blu-ray (https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/win-murder-on-the-orient-express-jump-on-board-for-agatha-christies-timeless-classic)Stay Up-To-Datefacebook.com/maketheswitchAU (https://www.facebook.com/maketheswitchAU)twitter.com/maketheswitchAU (https://www.twitter.com/maketheswitchAU)instagram.com/maketheswitchAU (https://www.instagram.com/maketheswitchAU)maketheswitchAU.tumblr.com (https://maketheswitchAU.tumblr.com)The hoststwitter.com/Charlie_David (https://www.twitter.com/Charlie_David)twitter.com/MissJess_SWITCH (http://www.twitter.com/MissJess_SWITCH)
