Choose And Watch TV

MovieLab TV is a movie streaming site that has Hollywood and Bollywood films. The site has a wide collection of movies, including a mixture of old films and fairly new films. A lot of the movies appear to be hosted on MegaVideo, meaning that the videos load fairly fast - of course MegaVideo also offers ocassional problems like videos that don't load properly or videos that sputter. One problem I noticed is that MovieLab TV seems to have a few movies that are wrongly labelled. A front page featured movie was titled as Mad Money, but actually lead to Mr Magoriums Wonder Emporium.

The movies are organized by genre but you can also search for any particular movie. Looking for International films besides Bollywood films was fruitless, so this is best used for Hollywood and Tami Hindi Bollywood films. They don't have rare movies, this isn't so much a criticism as something that would really skyrocket this sites appeal. There isn't a great deal of Animated films, but still this site is packed with working movies - most of which are hosted on MegaVideo meaning that almost all the movies on the site are watchable and will load quite decently.

There are quite a few ads, but none that are overly intrusive. One problem with the site however is that there are a few misleading links, that are in fact actually advertisements. For example, the Movie Lab TV gives the impression of giving you the ability to download the movies - but clicking on the link will actually take you some site that attempts to sell you a package to download videos and movies via usenet / p2p.

Movie Lab TV is an excellent site for movies, it offers decent streaming videos that unlike most other movie sites are quite watchable in both quality and load speed. There are a few videos that don't link to the right movie, or that don't load - but still you will find movies that you want to watch that actually work. You'll find that this is in stark contrast to a lot of other movies sites in that with other sites you end up watching whatever works, but with Movie Lab TV you really do have quite a choice in movies to pick from. The only problem with this site was that there are links on it that are directly intended to mislead visitors into visiting ads.
