I didn’t get to review the SecondRun.tv plugin for hulu.  It’s not that I didn’t have time, it’s that there is a new version to be released today that includes some features that I felt were worth waiting for (primarily the addition of missing artwork and automatic full screen video).  If it gets released early enough, I’ll have something up later today.

There’s also a new application out for iPhones/iPods called vmcMote.  It’s basically a music browser/playlist creator/remote control for Media Center using your iPhone/iPod.  I don’t have either, so I can’t give any more information on it.  You can see a few screenshots here or join in the discussion about it (and see more screens) here.

Also, I wanted to mention a pretty good scare flick if you’re in the market for one.  It’s not exactly unique and it didn’t have much of a budget, but I still thought it was pretty good and it really creeped my wife out.  Check out Quarantine.  It’s about a group of people that get quarantined inside an apartment complex by the CDC due to an outbreak of some crazy rabies infection.  The movie is shot from the perspective of a TV reporter’s cameraman, so the movie can make you a little dizzy at times, but if you stick with it, you’ll get used to it.  It stars Jennifer Carpenter and a few other people you may or may not recognize from some other TV series.  It’s not groundbreaking filmmaking, but I thought it was good for a few cheap thrills.

We also watched Transporter 3 last night.  If you’re a Transporter die hard fan, I guess you should see it.  We definitely thought it came in third in the trilogy.  A distant third.

There is some buzz going around about a 6th installment to the Dirty Harry series of movies.  It’s only rumor, so I’m not going into detail, but it’s gotten me a little excited.

For those wondering how a 78 year-old Clint is going to make it as Harry Calihan again, just think about that old prick that lived down the road from you when you were a little kid, “Get off my grass!”.

Put a .44 in his hand and think about it.

I’ve included a link to my online MyMovies Collection. I’m currently in the process of getting it all synced up, so only about 5% of my collection is actually up there. I had always imported info from IMDB and added my own custom movie info, but never realized that this affected the functionality of the online collection feature. Now that MyMovies has removed IMDB importation, I’m going through and using the web service to update my titles. I’ve been able to contribute some in the meantime (370+ points in the past couple of days).

Considering I don’t have a very high contribution total, the cover images will be of low quality. Also, I want to add a disclaimer for myself. Some titles may show up that aren’t even on DVD yet. These are just on my “Wish List”, of sorts. There is such an option in MyMovies, but if I use it, I’ll forget to bring the movie online. So, hold your horses before screaming, “Arrrrrr…Pirate!”

Link to the collection is under Projects.  For the exceptionally lazy, this is a direct link to it.
