Early news.

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.
