Jinni is a cool new site that really allows you to search for video entertainment in a very specific way. You can choose from Movies, TV, Short Films, and online videos to find specific genre’s or what you’re in the mood to watch. Jinni’s search and personal recommendations help users make sense of all the video out there with a one-stop service for choosing and getting linked to watch online or off.
Search Overview
Type in a general type mood you are in to pull up results.
You can also search more specifically for the mood you’re in or the type of movie you’re looking for.
If there seem to be too many results for a general search, Jinni allows you to easily narrow down the results.
Hover over the individual results for more information and options to watch the movie, add to your Wish List or Favorites, or find similar programs.
They let you create a custom profile where you can select what you like an dislike in entertainment to better the search results.
