Movie release spotlight
Movies release every Tuesday or Friday, and this is AppleInsider's new movie pick of the week. New movies can only usually be purchased without a rental option, or if it is a movie theater early release, it can only be rented for a premium.
The latest from Dreamworks is "Trolls World Tour" and can be rented as an early theater release for $19.99 from iTunes (or for the same price at Amazon). This movie will keep the kids entertained, at least for the 48-hour rental window, with its silly comedy and extremely colorful storytelling.
$0.99 Movie rental of the week
iTunes showcases its top staff pick for $0.99 movie rental of the week, reduced from the normal $6.99 cost of renting an HD or 4K movie.
This weeks rental of the week is "Peanut Butter Falcon" which stars Shia LaBeouf and features a breakout performance from Zach Gottsagen. The story follows a young man with Down's syndrome running away from a nursing home to attend a wrestling school of his idol. [Also available at Amazon]
