Let's hope that this statement becomes a reality on the 2025 Apple TV 4K.

BRIDE HARD (2025, Action/Comedy, 105 mins. M) HD 1080p/Dolby Digital 5.1 [Buy - $24.99: Rent $19.99]

 

Sam (Rebel Wilson) is a world-class secret agent... and a pretty terrible maid of honor. After blowing off bridal duties for an international spy mission, she's demoted to bridesmaid at her childhood best friend's wedding. What should've been a weekend of reconnecting and celebration turns into a five-star death trap when armed mercenaries crash the big day. Sam's the only one who can save the bride, and hopefully earn back the trust she lost along the way. Dodging bullets and trying not to ruin the floral arrangements, Sam takes on the ultimate wedding crasher, realizing that sometimes the toughest mission isn't taking down the bad guys, but showing up for the people who matter.

Looking at the Top Movies chart; I see that F1: The Movie has been at #1 for the last 15 days and is still there on the 16th day (today).

 

Might have to have a look at it when the price drops. Anyone here seen it?

I've not seen it, but heard from 2 people that have, that it's pretty good, with particular emphasis on how good some of the racing scenes are from a camera-work angle.

No mention of a new Apple TV 4K at the Apple event today. But with such strong rumours about there being one in the making, its likely to be announced in the October Apple event. If we don't hear anything then, it may just be ... a rumour.

I was going to add TAXI DRIVER (1976) to my library as it was advertised at $4.99 on Cheap Charts, but when I went to order on my iPhone app, it was $14.99 🙄

definitely a peeve of mine with the CheapCharts app.

 

I've been waiting forever for 'Crouching Tiger etc.' to drop to NZ$4.99, which CC has 2 or 3 times times advised me of, but switching to the TV store to find it is still NZ$14.99
