I have removed the rankings, period. There isn't much point, since Hulu has made their Advanced Search (http://www.hulu.com/popular/feature_films?h=19&has_free=1&timeframe=this_month&has_captions=0) provide all the online movies they have, with a dropdown menu for sorting. Just what they were missing two years ago. Thanks to anyone who came by. I hope you'll have a poke about and see the other stuff I linked to.
BTW, Hulu has really bad movies right now. Hope they improve. When the most popular movie is some comedy I never heard of called "Strictly Sexual" (why do people keep trying to watch it?) it has officially become a vast wasteland. Goodbye Hulu Movies, you had a nice run, but stick to television. It's what you do well.
Out.
I leave you with my review of "The Professional" aka. "Leon."
PS. Since posting, I have watched The Professional (aka. "Leon") - the best movie on Hulu. It was GREAT! Jean Reno is this AWESOME Batman-like asassin, a lone killer with a moral code, who can take on large groups with silent efficiency. Very good job. Natalie Portman was alright as the kid.
But...
Gary Oldman. Wow. He is muy bueno as the bad guy, channeling Brad Pitt in Kalifornia and 12 Monkeys - like a real crazy Early or something. Just Plain-Ass Crazy.
Okay, but another "origin" story? Really DC? Is that the way to go?
Anyone else tired of the origin stories? Let's just start with the superhero, in existence and doing his/her thing. Let's have a comic-book story, with everyone in costume from the beginning to the end, no "human interest" rubbish. That's the way it's done.
I don't have a computer that doesn't have Linux installed on it. That's how I am. That's how lots of people are. It's fun, it's free, and it's legal. We indulge.
However, there are limits. This is a jokey way of telling us that. You could install Linux on an iPhone. On TiVo (actually, it's already there). Or an Xbox.
Okay, this is really eye-opening! I had NO IDEA that disney re-used their scenes, frame by frame. I knew that Kaa was in Jungle Book and Robin Hood, as was Baloo, but I mean, well, gee...
Just watch this, okay? You will FREAK OUT! Promise.
The creepy music doesn't help with the whole 'not-freaking-out' thing.
This was a great April 1st (hint-wink) release by Qualcomm. It almost sounds serious as they talk of genetically manipulated wolfpigeons, sharkfalcons, and a fleet of crocodeagles, “large enough to blot out the sun”
Those of you familiar with the Blendtec Blender (http://www.willitblend.com/) probably know about their great online videos. You know, when they blend glow sticks, or plungers, ipods and iphones, video cameras, even a crowbar!
