Nice job on the HBO /Max schedule. All those highlights look good; particularly wounded knee.

Isn't it great to finally have cinemax hd...even if hbo gets those movies a month after.

 

[dfergie]

It really is... I couldn't find a graphic for X-Men which starts Sat on MaxHD

 

[rockymtnhigh]

Having perused through the EPG for the next week, it seems that Cinemax will provide a nice variety to the other movie channels. A lot more movies. A HUGE enhancement to my overall monthly programming.

Watching Field of Dreams right now, haven't seen it in years.

Two different times I surfed by MAX-HD while old movies were on expecting SD, but both times the movie was in HD. Nice surprise!

 

[dfergie]

Dvr Alert! All of the Star Wars movies will be played in order Friday on MaxHD starting at 3pm Edt with episode I...

 

[rockymtnhigh]

Darn it, I knew that and forgot to program the DVR before I left. Oh well, next time.



Now I have an excuse to convince my wife to let me get a slingbox

Dvr Alert! All of the Star Wars movies will be played in order Friday on MaxHD starting at 3pm Edt with episode I...

And exactly one week later on June 1st at 3:15pm EDT on HBO-HD (also all six in order),

V FOR VENDETTA 4.0 stars. I thought that this was a very good story and a very good action film. I liked the way the story unfolds. It does have a kind of implication that reminds us about living with fear whether authenty or not. I remember all those false post 911 alarms and think if the writers of this movie use some of that to come up with the story.

 

[Sean Mota]

Over the Hedge 4.0 stars very good animated movie. The story and characters makes you laugh and keep you interested. Nice to watch with the family.

Waist Deep 1.5 stars too predictable.

 

[Sean Mota]

BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE 3.5 stars This was a very good movie. The story itself is very moving. Excellent to watch.

X-Men the last stand. 1.5 stars. Ok. I had to watch because I was curious but I think they should stop making these movies. They offer very little and the story is not very good. It looks like it may continue the way it ended.

 

[rockymtnhigh]

Over the Hedge 4.0 stars very good animated movie. The story and characters makes you laugh and keep you interested. Nice to watch with the family.

4 stars? Not in my household. Nobody liked it; not even my 9 year-old. I think the only non-Pixar cartoon that has been a hit in our family as of late was the one with Martin lawrence as the Bear.... mmm... Open Season. That got laughs.
