I am well aware that this sounds like the ultimate first world problem but I cannot help getting twitchy when I realise that I cannot get internet on my phone or tablet when I am out and about, especially while I am on holiday and want to watch a movie.
I know some people enjoy taking a break from wifi while they are on their hols but I am NOT one of those people - I like to relax playing games, updating social media with a succession of holiday food and drink pictures (sorry) and watching catch-up TV or movies on one of my gadgets.
Even if I do decided to put my electronic device away and read a book or listen to music, I am guilty of allowing the children to entertain themselves for a while with the electronic babysitter - which becomes even more useful if dinner service takes a while or there's a travel delay!
Of course there are lots of sources for films to watch on your devices but did you know about the all-new Movie of the Day app for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, giving movie lovers everywhere the opportunity to purchase their favourite Fox films on Digital HD through daily flash sales?
The Movie of the Day app’s user friendly interface gives consumers a 24-hour window to buy a brand new movie each and every day at a discounted price of up to 70% off and add it to their iTunes library.
Available for customers in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany and France, fans can get great deals on films from some of the biggest franchises on Digital HD as they become available through the app including Alien, Die Hard, Planet of the Apes, Rio, The Sound of Music, X-Men and more. The Movie of the Day app is available only on the App Store.

The app
is loaded with content, allowing fans to easily view video clips, read the
synopsis, see cast and crew information and even read reviews of each
film. Once ready to purchase a film, users simply click once in the app
using their iTunes account and the film is added to their iTunes library.
Fans can even choose to share the experience through social media channels such
as Facebook and Twitter, allowing friends the opportunity to see the latest
flash sale and download the app themselves. The app will offer all types
of films for sale each day, from indie to blockbuster, romantic comedy to
horror.
That's all very well but what if you are sitting at the airport and realise there's a great deal on a movie you are desperate to watch in the terminal, on the plane or during your holiday, only to find you don't have internet access?
Well you'll be OK at Gatwick Airport -Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and UK airport
advertising specialist Eye Airports have teamed up to offer families the chance
to download films to their phone, tablet or device ahead of their departures
from Gatwick Airport.
From 10th August, summer holidaymakers will be
able to purchase and download films from Twentieth Century Fox Home
Entertainment’s ‘Movies on the Move’ selection, which offers blockbusters for
all ages including Penguins of
Madagascar, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, How to Train Your Dragon
2, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief and more, with ease.
The films will be available to download via a free, high
speed, wireless, broadband connection in the children’s soft play area, located
in the upper South Terminal departure lounge.
On entering the digital download zone and connecting to Movies
on the Move Wi-Fi, travelers’ devices will automatically link to the Fox
digital movie download page. From there, passengers can select a film and
download it directly via their preferred platform – iTunes, Google Play,
Blinkbox or Amazon Instant Video - in under 10 minutes (for standard
definition) or under 20 minutes (for high definition).
Beau Dallon, Head of Agency Sales at Eye Airports, said
“Many package holiday and short haul flights do not offer
in-flight entertainment so this is an ideal way to source movies to watch on a
personal device, not just on the plane but also at the airport and whilst on
holiday. The campaign once again proves how airports can offer huge benefits to
advertisers, providing passengers with a unique experience at the right time
and in the right place.”
Awesome - it makes me quite sad I won't be at Gatwick in the next two weeks to take advantage of this great offer. Anyone fancy treating me to a holiday?
