99¢ Movie: 'Escape from Alcatraz'


Apple's first two 99¢ Movie of the Week features were definitely targeted at, forgive me for demography-ing, a non-masculine audience--The Hours and Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Since then, Apple's seen the light and brought us a steady diet of manly, gun-carrying, testosterone-pumped features meant, well, for men (and the women who love them).

This week is no exception:

Superstar Client Eastwood and director Don Siegal re-team for their fifth film in this fascinating account of the only three men ever to escape from the infamous maximum security prison at Alcatraz. In 29 years, the seemingly impenetrable federal penitentiary, which housed Al Capone and "Birdman" Robert Stroud, was only broken once--by three men never heard of again...
