What are you up to this weekend? Maybe you’re heading to 1 Infinite Loop to tag some Live tiles on buildings. Maybe you’re taking your Lumia 1020 to a remote location to capture works of art. Or maybe you’re just lounging around the house with no crazy adventures. If you do find yourself at home, here’s a free movie for you to watch from Crackle and Xbox Live.
Crackle (crackle.com) is digital network and studio that streams video content from Sony Pictures Entertainment. There are apps on Windows 8, Windows Phone, and the Xbox 360. You can also access their content through a web browser or apps on other platforms. There’s a solid selection of shows, movies and original series there. In fact, you can head there to watch Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. In that series, Jerry goes around interviewing fellow comedians (like Larry David, Seth Meyers, Ricky Gervais and plenty others) in old, usually unique cars. They end of getting coffee and it’s a really fun series.
Anyway, starting now, and going through September 5th, Crackle is giving Xbox Live subscribers access to an exclusive first-watch of Extraction. It’s a martial arts action thriller, which means it’ll either be entertaining or really, really bad. There’s really no middle ground there. But it’s a free movie. Plus I got to plug Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
Crackle is a free app on all the platforms we listed up there. Grab it here in the Windows Phone Store or use the QR code below. Want to watch it on your Windows 8 machine? Go to the Windows Store. And go to the app section of your Xbox 360 to get Crackle there. (Only available for US, UK, Canadian, and Austrailian users)
