Sometime ago I got an invitation from someone I don't even know and never cared about it… until today when I got an e-mail from Flixster letting me know they had three new movies available to watch, given one of them was "Requiem For A Dream" I wondered about the site… not a big deal cause I own that movie but I would like what's behind this site cause 'The A Team' is available there !!!

I believe Hulu has both of those.

Maybe, since the play window shows the Hulu watermark, but I got some error as I failed to have certain video component… then went to Hulu but got the typical "dude you're not worth".

Flixster? I believe they made the awesome, free "Movies" app for the iPhone.

Hotspot shield
http://www.hotspotshield.com/
gives you a spoof US ip address so you can watch hulu from anywhere.
A great tip from Alex Lyndsey from a Mac Break Weekly podcast of a few months ago.

Of course Flixster is a legit site. It was one of the first Facebook apps.

Hotspot Shield works but it does not really have the bandwidth required to stream video without interruption. A better solution is a paid for VPN service. There are a number of high speed, high capacity options out there, costing about $20.00 a month.

Posting instructions on how to use a VPN service to bypass local licensing restrictions sounds like something that might be frowned upon by the MacNN powers.
A google search for VPN service will give you all the information you need.
