Hello Hulu....

Why download movies with the fear of uncle sam knocking at your door? Well my friends the good old folks over at NBC have created something that seems too good to be true.
Hulu is the first of its kind, a site where you can watch full movies, full shows for the hefty price of...on the house. You may ask yourself 'how can this be'? Well there is a catch. Commercials are implemented through out each film or show that can not be skipped. The commercials however are only about 30-45 seconds in length. This is a crucial turning point in the battle between the internet and hollywood. Instead of suppressing something that will never be stopped, hollywood has decided to use the internet as a tool to their benefit. Only a few networks and studios have joined the bandwagon, but hopefully with time more will join the hulu-hoop and give way to the future of entertainment.

Review: Into the Wild

Sean Penn's epic film of a young man's, Christopher McCandless (played by Emile Hirsch), journey across the country and eventually into the Alaskan wilderness is a very deep and resonating film. The story unfolds as McCandless graduates from college and gives away his life savings and begins his journey across country. Along the way he meets many different and complex characters which mold who he becomes.
Sean Penn has always wowed me on the screen but he really surprised me behind the camera. This film is an astounding journey of finding a true identity within one's self. The character development is deep and dynamic. Acting is top notch with Hirsch commanding a leading role supported by the likes of Vince Vaughn and William Hurt. The real gem of the movie is the cinematic scenery. The Alaskan wilderness captures the desolate isolation and at the same time peaceful serenity that McCandless confines himself in. The plot flow was a little untypical, always switching from his journey across the country back to his final weeks in the Alaskan wilderness. It was at times a little confusing but more so effective. The score was top notch and really complemented the evolution of McCandless and his journey.
I found this a very touching and emotionally stirring journey of a man searching for himself, forgiveness, and an Alaskan adventure. I give it four out of five chomps.
