Hulu Plus, the much-criticized subscription offering from Hulu, has never been terribly impressive.  Sure, it expanded the collection of television shows and movies available on Hulu, but none of the content was very good when you compared it to the awesome offerings on Netflix’s On Demand streaming.  Well, it’s taken awhile, but finally Hulu Plus has offered something that might change your mind.  The entire Criterion Collection is coming to Hulu Plus.

For those not in the know, the Criterion Collection is a collection of hundreds of DVDs, Blu rays, and laser discs that comprise the greatest movies ever made.  These are the best of the best, the crowning achievements in cinema, and they are treated as such on the Criterion releases.  The movies are digitally remastered to the peak of quality and every disc is loaded with expert commentaries, cast and crew commentaries, and all the special features that can be found or made to go with the films.  These are brilliant releases for movies that deserve all the love and care they can possibly receive.

I never thought I’d say this, but I may have to check out Hulu Plus now.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
