    So why put up with a (potentially) shoddy copy to start with? Or do you mean stuff that isn't released for purchase yet?

    Should have been called "RoboDad"

    Its not robocop if there is no mindless violence. I ain't buying that for a dollar then. I'll nick it off a torrent!

If only they had simply filmed the Robert Harris novel!

    Django Unchained - good Tarantino fun
    Edge of Tomorrow - tulip
    Cloud Atlas - Brill
    Filth - the best
    Gravity - should have watched it in 3d but brill

    Many more, but feck Sky, BT and torrent blocking
    I quite liked Edge of Tommorrow, and if you don't like Tom Cruise in those sort of films, at least you see him repeatedly shot in the head

    Also Men in Black 3 and, erm, Toy Story 3. Up is a lovely film too.

    Edit: we watched Green Lantern and Batman The Dark Knight Rises. Utter tulip

    Not sure if this has been mentioned before - In case you have problems with torrents etc try time4popcorn

    Probably the best app I've used in a long time, comes with built in VPN and streams movies from torrents
