Cliff Rosenberg, managing director, Yahoo! Australia & NZ said, "The deal with Quickflix provides our Yahoo! Movies users with deeper more dynamic content including information on latest DVD releases and special reviews and features. We know that our users are big consumers of movie information online and now they have the added functionality of being able to click-through and rent over 14,000 DVDs online."
