“Spider-Man” is coming to the rescue of Crackle.com, Sony’s Internet video site, which on Wednesday will announce making more movies available online in a bid to keep viewers longer and help it attract more advertising, the Wall Street Journal reports. Sony’s blockbuster “Spider-Man 2” and Alfred Hitchcock’s “Blackmail” are among the 100 films that will be made available immediately, the paper says.
