Not much "travel" on the Travel Channel anymore. I used to watch it all the time. Now it's personalities and game-like shows. I still prefer EQUATOR & DISCOVERY HD.

Best new shows I like: Kitchen Nightmares on BBC; World Cup Rugby on SETA; News & Movies on TV5 (English subtitles), Journeyman (although it looks a bit like "Quantam Leap:" Aliens In America, The War... plus the regulars like WEEDS, DEXTER, 30 ROCK and reruns of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT.

Sean, Akira Kurosawa's "Yojimbo" is anything but a comedy. It is the film from which the plot was "borrowed" for Clint Eastwood's "Fistful of Dollars." A lone Samurai comes to town and hires himself out to the highest bidder and sets one faction against another. (Incidentally, Kurosawa...

Sean.....it's MACBETH not MCBETH.

Two excellent films are showing on VOOM today Sunday April 24th. They are "Fiddler On The Roof" and "Nadine." Jeff Bridges and Kim Bassinger play a separated husband and wife who get into all kinds of trouble as they try to pry apart their relationship but are held together by the common...

I have two to recommend next time they come around: (if??) **** THE HIDDEN FORTRESS by Akira Kurosawa **** AMELIE BY Jean Pierre Jeunet Thanks to VOOM for showing "The Hidden Fortress." Even George Lucas admits he got the idea for the plot of Star Wars from this Kurosawa film. Just as...

DVLOS - You stated that you haven't seen the movies and do not want to watch any of them. How do you determine the quality of the films if you don't check them out? Do you read the reviews or what???

You remember Drive-ins? Haven't seen this movie but will check it out.

Thanks for the note & suggestion, Sean.

This happened earlier too but only for a few minutes. Guess the new stuff is being integrated and they are on a learning curve.

I've been watching LOTR II & III on StarZ in HD. Great PQ.Hope TNT goes OAR and not SD 4:3 stretch on this.

Good idea. Hey VOOM here's my wish list: SCROOGE: THE MUSICAL (Albert Finney) SISTER MARY EXPLAINS IT ALL (Diane Keaton) CHRISTMAS VACATION (Chevy Chase) LOST IN PARADISE (Nick Cage) THE CHRISTMAS STORY PRANCER HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS (Origian & Jim Carey versions) MIRACLE ON...

Looks like Universal Hd has started! HOOOO HAAAA! THE DISTRICT, KAREN SISCO, LAW AND ORDER all in real HD, not the TNT 4X3 phony stretch to 16X9 kind.

"BLOOD SIMPLE" the Coen Bros. film that out-Hitchcock's Alfred and is running today. This is a classic. Only the audience knows what is happening and the screen characters are bewildered by it all. Great flick! "RAN" the classic version of Shakeaspeare's "King Lear" as done by Akira Kurasawa...

Great game! I was surprised that Madrid did not even score and get this....0 shots on goal!

Thanks for the note Ilya. We'll be watching. (Spanish League Soccer is certainly a better quality than the games I've seen elsewhere)

I was beginning to wonder if TNT actually had HD Broadcast Origination capabilities or could only "carry" HD. I noticed last night (Thursday Nov. 18th) that they originated a sports desk panel between the 2 NBA games in HD. Now, if they would only get the HD versions of TV series and theatrical...

Saw it last night -twice. What color and HD resolution!! Outstanding. Thanks VOOM for this show.

"Reports from" is not the same as seeing the parade in HD. Any parades actually in HD this year?

Thanks Sean for the info. on "Blood Simple." Actually, today Cinema 10 featured 3 movie classics by Woody Allen. "Radio Days", "Purple Rose of Cairo" and "Manhatten." Another good movie today was "In The Mood" based on a real event during the 40's about a 15 year old in Compton, California.

I just read on the VOOM site that "Blood Simple" is one of the new movies coming to VOOM this month but no date is given. Anyone know what date it is being shown? This Coen Bros. film is a classic and certainly rivals HItchcock's best. I also see that "Purple Rose of Cairo " with Mia Farrow...

When TNT shows "Law & Order" for the 3 zillionth time in that stupid Standard Definition 4X3 format and stretches it to 16X9 and calls it HD I cringe and wonder why VOOM even bothered to take the service. But tonight they are showing 2 NBA games in REAL HD and boy does that look better. First...

VOOM has lots of Broadway & Film musicals. That was evident last night. They had two musicals on by Cole Porter; "Silk Stockings" and "Les Girls." Also they were running "Pal Joey" by Rodgers and Hart. "Music Man" appears frequently as does "Bye Bye Birdie" which is on tonight. Why not just...

The programming is by Zap2it, not VOOM.

Starz must have the latest films once PPV releases them. Watching KILL BILL tonight on StarzHD. Great PQ! Thanks StarzHD & VOOM!
