Amazon.com Launches Movie Service, with Disney Ads
"The Internet store Amazon.com on Friday will launch its first non-retail business, a movie service offering local show times, reviews and paid advertising from big movie studios like Walt Disney Co."

Another step of Amazon to become a Yahoo-like portal. Maybe they'll start an e-mail service? Since Amazon is above all an etailer, they're careful to only add services and content that will lead to more sales, as opposed to ad-supported page views.
