WORLD CINEMA - Showing of foreign films like "Amelie" & "Z". Many others too numerous to name but it kept us in touch with the cinema from other countries.
KUNG FU - Didn't like it at first but then they showed some Kurosawa films like " The Hidden Fortress" the inspiration for Lucas' "Star Wars" and many other classics. Today (Thursday) they are showing "Sword of DOOM" the inspiration for the Samurai fight in the snow copied by "Killl Bill." Also Bruce Lee movies.
MONSTER - Some of the "cheezy" films were a lot of fun. But there were other fine films like "Kiss of The Vampire" with Jennifer Beal. And Nickolaus Cage who thinks he's turning into a vampire;"American Werewolf in London" another classic. Might even miss Godzilla.
EQUATOR - Great series of "Eye OVer.." travels; plus "Smart Travels" and some National Geographic types.
RUSH - Loved the surfing & snow boarding as well as the P.I.G. series. Great shots you won't see on HDNET.
RAVE - Only 24 hour MTV type program of its kind. Loved the "Montreux Jazz" series. I was able to attend a couple of them while in Montreux a few years back. Good bands and music.
GALLERY - Some great tours of new museums that my wife & I liked. A challenge to see some new art around the world.
Will miss some other films too numerous to mention as well as the intermissions and TANK. Mostly, we'll just miss VOOM.
