I would be extremely leery of such sites. for one thing I see ad's for movies that aren't yet released, like airbender. I don't know if it's "for real", other sites indicate that it is not "free"  and monsiuer google reports difficulties with canceling anything. some "free" sites are literally just fronts for botnets.

I personally use netflix. I see that at netflix, LAST STAND AT SABER RIVER is available for rent but not streaming.

I can't find it on other legit sites like hulu.

another alternative is to order it out from amazon or wall-box...

Thank you for your PM Professor;  I am concerned about copyright, but unwanted computer problems would be a disaster.  Maybe I'll check into netflix.  The reason I posted was my nervousness about going online.

On Amazon I can buy a used VHS copy for under $3 + postage.  DVDs are a bit steeper at about $12 +.  We do have THE GREAT WALL Mart here and I'll enquire next time I'm over there.  Blockbuster weren't able to help.  

P.S.  Look what I found!  A guide/rating site for movie rentals online in Canada.

I'm going to look into zip.ca

Wowsers - zip.ca looks rather nice... in point of fact the website looks remarkably familiar .... incredibly similar to netflix.
and they have Last Stand! and a free trial! and a Canadian Genre!

looks like a winner!

enjoy your new-found source :-)
