Source Code – When decorated soldier Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) wakes up in the body of an unknown man, he discovers he’s part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. In an assignment unlike any he’s ever known, he learns he’s part of a government experiment called the Source Code, a program that enables him to cross over into another man’s identity in the last eight minutes of his life.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 – In the epic finale, the battle between the good and evil forces of the wizarding world escalates into an all-out war. The stakes have never been higher and no one is safe. But it is Harry Potter who may be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice as he draws closer to the climactic showdown with Lord Voldemort. It all ends here.
Bridesmaids – Kristen Wiig leads the cast as Annie, a maid of honor whose life unravels as she leads her best friend, Lillian, and a group of colorful bridesmaids on a wild ride down the road to matrimony. Though lovelorn and broke, Annie bluffs her way through the expensive and bizarre rituals. With one chance to get it perfect, she’ll show Lillian and her bridesmaids just how far you’ll go for someone you love.

When you’re at home the app has full remote control functionality, so there’s no need to fret about losing the remote… again.
The app is free and a cinch to get a hold of, just search “fetchtv” in the Apple App store, or else it will soon be available in our very own iiNet Freezone app. Android users sit tight; your version will be ready early 2012. For more on the app, click here to visit the fetchtv app webpage.
