Heroin addict Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) stumbles through bad ideas and sobriety attempts with his unreliable friends -- Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller), Begbie (Robert Carlyle), Spud (Ewen Bremner) and Tommy (Kevin McKidd).

After cleaning up and moving from Edinburgh to London, Mark finds he can't escape the life he left behind when Begbie shows up at his front door on the lam, and a scheming Sick Boy follows.

FRIDAY 12th APRIL 2024  

 

MEAN GIRLS (2024, Comedy, 112 mins) • ❇️iTunes Extras •    Dolby Vision/Dolby Atmos/Dolby Digital 5.1 [Buy - $14.99: Rent - $7.99]    

 

From the comedic mind of Tina Fey comes a new twist on the modern classic, MEAN GIRLS. New student Cady Heron (Angourie Rice) is welcomed into the top of the social food chain by the elite group of popular girls called "The Plastics," ruled by the conniving queen bee Regina George (Reneé Rapp) and her minions Gretchen (Bebe Wood) and Karen (Avantika). However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina's ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels (Christopher Briney), she finds herself prey in Regina's crosshairs. As Cady sets to take down the group's apex predator with the help of her outcast friends Janis (Auli'i Cravalho) and Damian (Jaquel Spivey), she must learn how to stay true to herself while navigating the most cutthroat jungle of all: high school.

Not sure if anyone else has also done this, but I decided to change my iTunes account country from New Zealand to Australia. Oz iTunes has the same movie store as us with the same deals (so I didn't lose any movies), but they have a TV shows section with some decent deals. Picked up the complete series of 'The Office (US)' for $50 and 'Chuck' for $30. 

 

You can fund it through gift cards bought on Amazon AU, which is delivered usually instantly and allows you to enter a specific value you're happy with.

I was actually going to add a US account to my NZ account. It would mean that I would need two accounts which I could switch between on my Apple TV 4K. Funding the US account can be done by purchasing Apple Gift Cards from Amazon US. 

 

It seemed like too much of a hassle to do this, so I haven't done it yet. The US store have many titles that include Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos that we only get the basic HD offerings for.

 

Don't ask me how to do it, I'm still trying to work it out myself 😁

I used to have a US iTunes account for many years but shifted the account's country to NZ. There's been a noticeable difference in streaming quality and buffering, which might be due to accessing servers further away. Additionally, currency fluctuations made purchases more expensive. For instance, a new release at $19.99 USD used to translate to roughly $25-27 NZD, whereas now it's closer to $33 NZD.

Due to my iPhone's Apple TV app playing up on Friday, I posted the wrong Movie of the Week, which should have been in the Limited Time section. My iPhone app is only showing my library at the moment, not allowing me to access the store. Luckily, I have an Apple TV 4K, which I accessed this morning and found out my mistake. Apologies to Gran Turismo for the oversight. I'll put things right here and now 😁 By the way, I own this film on 4K UHD disc... it's a decent watch.

 

 

FRIDAY 12th APRIL 2024  

 

GRAN TURISMO: Based on a True Story (2023, Action, 134 mins) • ❇️iTunes Extras •    Dolby Vision/Dolby Atmos/Dolby Digital 5.1 [Buy - $9.99: Rent - $0.99]    

 

Based on the true story of Jann Mardenborough, the film is the ultimate wish fulfillment tale of a teenage Gran Turismo player whose gaming skills won a series of Nissan competitions to become an actual professional racecar driver.

 

 

 

 

 

UNDER $10: MARVEL MOVIES • As posted by clownprince; almost all of the Marvel movies are reduced to $9.99 for a Limited Time.

All the individual bond movies have dropped to $9.99 each. iTunes automatically drops the bundle price if the individual movie price drops below. But hopefully the bundles go on sale too, I only need the Pierce Brosnan films to complete my collection.
