iTunes Review: Land of the Lost
Land of the Lost is the latest movie to be gifted to us by NBC Universal. The movie stars Will Ferrell, Anna Friel, Danny McBride and John Boylan and is directed by Brad Silberling. OK, so where do I start with this one. I guess I begin by telling you that I’m not the biggest [...]
Review: iTunes 99p Rental – The Terminator
Every week Apple offer a film for rental at a discounted price of 99p on iTunes. For several weeks, the selections were pretty poor. Then last week saw a quality jump, with Matthew Vaughn’s Layer Cake.
Would this week continue the improvement? The answer would be a resounding yes, as to coincide with the DVD release [...]
Review: iTunes 99p Rental – Layer Cake
The iTunes 99p rental. For many weeks now the bane of my existence, where once i looked with anticipation to discover what had been chosen, i now look with dread. Fatal Instinct, Surfer Dude, Starter For 10, just some of the rejects i’ve been subjected to.
Imagine my surprise, then, when i found that this week’s [...]
Review: iTunes 99p Rental – Fatal Instinct
Last week, presumably due to a technical error, there was no 99p rental on iTunes. Now i’ll be honest, based on the suspect selections of recent weeks, it was nice to get a week off. I also considered the possibility that Apple had maybe decided to stop it altogether.
I thought that would be a great [...]
Review: iTunes 99p Rental – Scary Movie 3
The way we watch movies is changing. In five years time, the studios believe, all our home entertainment will be delivered digitally. Apple know this, and already have a large quantity of movies available via iTunes and Apple TV.
To encourage us to try this form of media, every week iTunes offers one movie for rental [...]
Competition: Win an iPod Nano with NBC Universal
NBC Universal have been kind enough to give us an iPod Nano that one lucky HeyUGuys reader will be able to watch their favourite horror movies on. This Halloween, a whole bunch of them are available at a special price on iTunes! You can watch Shaun of the Dead, Hitchcock’s masterpiece Psycho, Van Helsing and [...]
Review: iTunes 99p Rental – And Now For Something Completely Different
As well as music, iTunes does films too, to buy or rent. Rentals usually cost £2.50 to £3.50, but every week those nice chaps (or chapesses) hand select one to be available at a much lower 99p. Every week i review the selection, ‘cos quite often it can be a little obscure…
This week, to celebrate [...]
Review: iTunes 99p Rental – Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.
The iTunes 99p rental – so good they do it every week. It’s easy, you go into the films section of iTunes, locate the movie picture that states ‘this weeks 99p rental’, point and click. It only takes 30 minutes to download on my computer, and my broadband is super-slow speed. It’s not surprising the [...]
Review: iTunes 99p Rental – Surfer, Dude
Digital copy is the future. Apple certainly think so (well, they have to). To this end, iTunes hopes to slowly introduce their consumers to the ease of movie downloads by offering a rental every week at the ridiculously cheap price of 99p. You couldn’t even buy I Know Who Killed Me on DVD for that.
As [...]
Review: iTunes 99p Rental – Starter For 10
You know the drill by now. iTunes offer a random film for cheap rental every week, I take the bullet and let you know if you’d be better off buying a can of Coke and a Twix.
I aim to raise the profile of the 99p rental, and it’s working already. Just six weeks since I [...]
