Hi

 

Had my first problem with an Apple TV movie purchase yesterday. Movieman’s post got me interested and I decided to purchase Kingdom Of Heaven. I opened the app on my iPhone and hit the buy button. All was good!

 

However when I checked it out on my TV I discovered that it was only the theatrical version. No Dolby vision, no Atmos. I have purchased many movies from Apple and assumed that I was getting the best version. What l failed to notice when buying was that if I had scrolled down a bit there was an option to choose which version you required. 

 

I was a bit disappointed with Apple. When I selected the version I wanted it was charged as a second purchase! I give Apple full marks for the very efficient handling of my refund request.

Opening in 80+ cinemas in New Zealand from today; From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas, Gabriel Byrne, Anjelica Houston and a cameo from Keanu Reeves.

 

I guess the John Wick movies are an acquired taste and movie fans can take them or leave them, but I am a big fan of dumb action films, so I'm looking forward to seeing this when it goes digital.

 

The Hollywood Reporter has this to say about the latest addition to the franchise "Ana de Armas slays in a hard-charging spinoff that makes for a mindless Summer treat in Len Wiseman's bloodbath of grief and revenge, in which an elite assassin doffs her tutu and goes rogue".

 

Movie-goers are already reporting that the film looks and sounds incredible in Dolby theatres.

 

Bring it on! 😁

I got to watch SINNERS (2025) at a mate's place yesterday (I would never pay $34.99), and wow! there was so much of the dialogue that I didn't think that I would hear in a film, in this day and age. I'm not complaining, just surprised.

 

Dialogue aside, this is a must-see for horror/vampire fans, with some great blues music (and Irish/Scottish folk songs 😀). But, be warned; Its not for the squeamish and its full of graphic violence and blood.

 

Currently sitting at #1 in the Apple Store charts, even at the introductory price.

Coming to the Apple Store on June 18th are two old favourites of mine; CROCODILE DUNDEE & CROCODILE DUNDEE II, in 4K SDR. Preorder [$19.99/$17.99]

 

I believe that there has been some cuts made from the original versions (not deemed to be appropriate for modern day audiences 🙄)
