 Just because Apple offers a $0.99 movie every week doesn’t mean that other video-on-demand folks are taking things lying down. Vudu, for example, has decided to retaliate by launching an offensive that offers not just one, but 99 movie rentals , each priced at $0.99. My first thought was: okay, yeah, but what kind of movies are we talking about here? Is this like Netflix’s “Watch Now” feature, with its scads of films people have never even heard of? I’m not sure how much I want to watch Return to the Sullen Moss, Part XIV . But, if they’re telling the truth on their site , then the selection’s actually not that bad. It ranges from classics like Chinatown and Vertigo to recent favorites like Serenity as well as favorites culled from my own personal collection, like Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels . And, according to Vudu, the catalog will change over time, perpetually rotating in new titles among the ninety-nine. Of course, in order to take advantage of the deal, you need one of ‘em fancypants $299 Vudu boxes hooked up to your TV. Maybe that’s a dealbreaker, or maybe it’s a reason for you to run out and snag one right this very moment. The choice, as always, is yours.
