Microsoft has long been known for their prowess in operating systems and business applications, but they have also been a long time proponent of CDROM technology for the home. Cinemania '95 is one of their MICROSOFT HOME offerings which demonstrates this commitment.

Cinemania '95 is more than just a "look up the movie" CDROM. With film clips, audio sound bites and still photographs, you're immersed into the world of movies in true Hollywood fashion.

But, all isn't fluff and light. This CDROM is dead serious about the information supplied to you. Using Roger Ebert's Video Companion, Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide, Ephraim Katz's The Film and Pauline Kael's 5001 Nights at the Movies, you are surrounded by the best minds in the business when you look up a movie.

Looking up a movie couldn't be simpler using Microsoft's interface. You can search by File Name, Actor Name and many other methods. In fact, you can even have Cinemania '95 pick a movie for you based on your mood and the type of movie you want to see. Incredible!

With more than 19,000 reviews spanning over 80 years of file, there hasn't been a movie on cable that didn't make this disc! In addition to the reviews you may even see one of the 4000 actor biographies that accompany the films.

If you like have cable and watch movies, this CD is an absolute necessity. If you rent movies often, this CD is an absolute necessity. If you own a satellite dish, this CD should be part of your installation package!
