Slog - Comments on "What is that? That's like spinning Tarzan jujitsu?" http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/what_is_that_thats_like_spinning_tarzan I know that I totally maligned Hulu when it launched. I called it "the Internet’s version of a hideous, six-story primary-colored condo with retail space on the ground floor." Well, the egg's on my face because you can watch The Rundown on Hulu for free anytime you want now. I'd call The Rundown a guilty pleasure, but there's nothing guilty about it.

What's not to like?

I'm even finding excellent new shows like, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."

Pure gold. And it's free!

I'm sure they'll be grateful for the note.

former editor @2: I'm not sure. Something by Dickens, I figure, or one of the longer Dostoevskys. Let me think on it.

It's funny and has some great action/fighting. I rewatch it a lot and there doesn't seem to be a part that I tire of.

Definitely one of my favorite movies.

The Rundown is just a fun popcorn flick in the style of the old 80's action movies that made Schwarzenegger big.

Also, let's face it, The Rock has a natural charisma that worked for him in wrestling and it works in action movies now.

I just finished watching "The Rundown" on hulu and it was a blast! And it's the kind of movie I most likely would have missed, were it not for such a recommendation... Two thumbs up!
