Thanks Tekzilla and Revision3

Tekzilla, one of our favorite tech review (and-lots-of-other-fun-stuff) sites did a quick video review of Nanocrowd.

Veronica Belmont says:

"Quit stressing over movie night. Let Nanocrowd make the pick for ya'."

Of course, once you're there, you have to watch the top movie car chases of all times! Some new, some old, and all great in Tekzilla's HighDef format.
