“The only revelation that “Hellraiser: Revelations” offers is that someone either needs to take this franchise seriously, or let it die. “ I was browsing though Netflix, as I often do, looking for a decent horror flick. There’s are some classics, like William Friedkin’s “The Exorcist,” or Michael Winner’s “The Sentinel,” though for every classic, […]
Just wanted to remind everyone that Starz content on Netflix will vanish after Tuesday of next week, which means that movies like “Breaking Away,” “Tron: Legacy,” and “Silver Streak,” to name a few, will not longer be available. Despite this fact, it appears that the subscriber flight over the Quikster debacle, as well as the […]
According to Cnet.com, Hulu has a 13-episode commitment to “Battleground,” a comedy about a primary campaign for a Wisconsin Senate seat, “A Week In The Life,” a 10-episode documentary series about famous people, and a so-far unnamed travelogue series from Richard Linklater. Streaming services like Netflix and Hulu are developing original content in order to […]
After the numerous problems in 2011 that Netflix has encountered under the leadership of Reed Hastings, it’s comforting to know that his stock option allowance has been slashed for 2012.

And I don’t mean “down” in the sense of something that’s cool, or rocks. Instead, I mean it in the way that something isn’t working, that should. I am hoping that the damage is limited to me–though I doubt it–because I am not sure how much more negative publicity Netflix, and their stock price, can […]
Edited 10/26/11 For a while Netflix really bothered me. First there was the price increase, which I understand the necessity of, though it was handled really, really badly. Then there was the whole Quikster debacle, and recently not only has the company lost somewhere around 800,000 viewers in the United States, but the stock price […]
Edited 1026 9/19 I just got this email from Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix. I wonder it it has something to do with a loss in subscribers as well as a 19% drop in their stock price? I suspect so because Hastings didn’t appear to care about apologies when his stock was riding high. The […]
According to Nikki Finke’s Deadline, Starz will not longer provide content to Netflix when the current arrangement expires toward the end of February of next year. This can be nothing but terrible news for Netflix management because Starz provides a significant amount of content, particularly movies, though there are TV shows as well. Viewers too […]
