Okay, so before we start out this week, I’d just like to take a little time and relate something to you, my loyal readership.

Last week, I mentioned how there had been a great deal more hits being made on the column, with a surprisingly large amount of people taking a look through the backlog of articles.

As it turns out, Masterpiece Cinema was featured last week on whedonesque.com – a website dedicated to posting links to articles regarding Joss Whedon and his stable of talent – thanks to the piece I did ages ago on Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

I just wanted to say thanks to whedonesque.com for the traffic. Like I said to a couple of friends; this either shows that Masterpiece Cinema is growing in popularity…or it shows just how incredibly widespread Whedonesque’s scouring of the Internet is.

That said, I thought it was kinda funny that it was the Atlantis article that was linked to because of the one line that mentions Whedon, rather than the entire column dedicated to Whedon’s TV series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

But anyway, onto this week’s film;

Hackers Starring Jonny Lee Miller, Angelina Jolie, Matthew Lillard, Fisher Stevens.

Written by Rafael Moreu.

Directed by Iain Softley.

Genre: Drama / Comedy / Thriller.

Released: 1995

Running time: 107 mins.

Rated: PG-13 (American rating)

IMDb link: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0113243/



Back in 1995, a movie was released that hoped to be the mouthpiece for an entire counter-culture that was growing beyond its infancy into a fully-fledged force to be reckoned with. That movie was Hackers, and that movie bombed. Big time. But hey, that’s to be expected, right?

Hackers is, objectively, a pretty bad film; it’s wildly inaccurate in its depictions of both technology and hacker culture, the villain – played by Fisher Stevens – is absolutely ridiculous and the plot is absurd. But you know what? It’s still a really enjoyable film, and the amount of people you’ll find that love it is a testament to that.
