Within the Movies section, films are presented through their posters, and users can toggle through release dates, as well as genre. By hovering over each film, users will have the option to watch the trailer, buy tickets via Fandango, or head to the film's page, which acts as a central location for all news, photos and trailers pertaining to each movie. A new module on the right keeps entertainment fans informed by allowing them to click between current box office earnings, new DVD releases and upcoming movies.
