Crackle Blog

Then for the past two years I've worked on this blog. Well, time has come to move on and say farewell, and I could think of nothing better than lay out some great quotes from the end of some of my favorite films (Warning: nothing but spoilers below).

The only thing that might be better than a great film is a great song. When was the last time you had an entire film stuck in your head? (Seriously -- if it's happened to you, let us know in the comments below.) In the last few weeks they've handed out the GRAMMY's and the Oscars, and to celebrate these two art forms Crackle presents the Movies that Rock Collection. Turn your volume up to 11, and dive in ...

Today, Crackle's new film is none other than the David Spade classic, Joe Dirt (watch now). Considered nothing more than a lowbrow comedy in some circles, between you me and the rest of the internet this movies more than the story of a "white-trash" hero ... it's an opportunity for Oscar winner Christopher Walken to show the world his range. The fact is that you can find Award Winners in some interesting places, and that's what Crackle's Award Winner Collection is for.

Valentine's Day is almost upon us, and that means either cuddling close with your special lady friend, or going to the nearest bar and finding a new lady friend -- maybe both. To celebrate all the feminine options there are out there, Crackle presents the Women We Love Collection. It's a special round up of movies with women who will make your toes curl (in so many ways).

Crackle is going big for the smallest month. We continue with new movies every week day, but starting today we're also building out something we're calling the Blockbusters Collection -- a collection of movies with big talent and big box office. We begin with the cute 'lil comedy that launched the big screen careers of Michael Bay,Will Smith and Martain Lawrence: Bad Boys (watch now). The movie is iconic now, but would it have been a landmark blockbuster if Dana Carvey and John Lovitz had starred in it as originally intended?

The 2009/2010 film season seems to have been all about Jeff Bridges. The son of acting legend Lloyd Bridges and brother of Beau, he's managed to make his career a unique and special one. Whether he's playing an arch villain in Iron Man or the ultimate slacker icon in The Big Lebowski, there really isn't a role out there that can't apply to someone. Saturday's entry into the New Movie for the New Year Collection was one of the best films of 1984, Starman (watch now), and in addition to that we also want to present to you The Jeff Bridges Collection.

As always, the end of the month means that some of the movies that you've been enjoying on Crackle during January's New Movie for the New Year Collection, are on their way out already. It's too bad that some of these are already adiós, but hey, maybe you'll learn something about the value of time and free movies. Consider your first lesson courtesy of "Johnny 5" ...

When looking at today's entry into the New Movie for the New Year Collection, it struck me that the genre known as "Fantasy" is maligned, triumphed and overwhelmingly broad all at the same time. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (watch now) is fantastical, bizarre, odd, crazy, and as fantastical as can be. My question to you is, does this film share a storytelling footprint with a film coming to theaters today, The Mechanic (watch trailer)?
