Development of the Stunts & Effects expansion pack was guided by feedback from The Movies' online community. Going forward, movies uploaded to the site that were created with the expansion pack will be flagged and a separate ranking board will track popularity. If you're at all like us, you're sick of ever-increasing ticket prices and gimmicky new ways of combining mass transit with phobia-inducing animals. We'd rather make our own cheesy flicks with the expanded version of The Movies than pay $10 to watch the latest pap from some Hollywood hack.

You'll hate
  • Dialog/sound editing is unwieldy
  • Props can be tough to place properly
  • New content takes too long to unlock
