Do you Hulu? Check out films based on a book.

I have been poking around on Hulu - checking out the new layout. I like some of the new features, others not so much. Hulu has a new movie category called films based on books. 

It's small right now, but hopefully Hulu will continue to add to the listings. In the meantime, I am all over the free ones.

ALEX CROSS - Movie Trailer [starring Tyler Perry]

Check out the trailer for the upcoming movie Alex Cross (due for release on October 19, 2012).

Based on Cross by James Patterson (Alex Cross novel #12), the crime thriller stars Tyler Perry, Matthew Fox, and Rachel Nichols. 

Today, Cross was re-released with the movie tie-in cover of Alex Cross (its name was changed to Alex Cross).

I must confesss: I HAVE NEVER READ A JAMES PATTERSON NOVEL.

So, I am not super excited about it. I blame the movies Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. I couldn't get through them. The Silence Of The Lambs? Couldn't finish it. Not that they were bad ... at least the parts that I saw through my fingers.  Seven? Saw it. Liked it. Freaked me out.

I'm convinced that serial killer movies aren't for me. Curiously, television shows with serial killers don't bother me. Go figure.

I feel like I should read some Patterson books anyway. Does he have a good series that doesn't involve serial killers?

UPDATE (10/3/12): Goodreads has suckered me in with its book-movie cross-promotion. I signed up for the book giveaway and RSVP'd to the movie (showin' Tyler Perry some support). Who is  gonna hold my hand? SMH.
