27 Dresses became an HD rental tonight along with 7 more titles including Assassination Tango, Cobb, Curley Sue, Fright Night, Little Shop of Horrors, Scooby-Doo in Where’s My Mummy and Unearthed.

According to Tech Ticker’s Henry Blodget and Silicon Alley Insider Apple analyst Dan Frommer, the Apple TV is a bomb. Do you agree with their analysis? Did anyone let them know Apple TV does more then movies or play HD content like a Blu-Ray player?

Below is a list of movies which are either coming soon are are currently playing on HBO and Starz. If my theory about Premium Cable Channels taking over movie rights is correct, we should see some of these titles disappear or become purchase only. As a matter of fact Ocean’s Thirteen is already gone. FYI, HBO.com made it easy to find their upcoming schedule, Showtime and Cinemax did not, which is why I did not list their upcoming titles.

Apple sure is piling on the catalog titles. If anything it’s a guarantee they should stick around for a while unlike the newer titles which will probably disappear at some point.

The new additions are Brannigan, Office Space, Darfur Now and Shallow Hal.

Ghost World is the $.99 movie of the week for the week of 5-27-08.
