No details in that short pgr. I guess we'll have to wait and get more details.

Seems like Voom always premiers content at the beginning of the month, so this is probably not much different.

Seems like Voom has already added a lot of different movies to the Cinema 10 since I subscribed in April. Pretty good for "basic service".

I know one for EquatorHD:

COMING IN JULY ...

Elsewhere

Reindeer herding in Finland, Nintendo in the African bush. Visiting one exotic location per month over the course of a year, award-winning documentary filmmaker Nicolas Geyerhalter set out with a high definition camera crew and plan to let people speak for themselves. The result is a stark, revealing and often stunning portrayal of life in our planet's most remote locations."

Tomorrows July 1, what's the big deal? In Sean's listing for Premiers, there is twice as much in June as in July, so "Where's the Beef?".

 

[Sean Mota]

Don't know what the fuzz is. I think Jess and VOOM are just hyping this promotion.

He has only posted up to the 12th of July so far Darrellp.

Then they are about on par for June. Again: What's the big Premiere Deal?

It would be nice to see a movie that was made in this century.

It would be nice to see a movie that was made in this century.

Why?? I mean, I actually kind of like some of the older movies they are showing on the Voom channels. If you want newer movies though, that's what the premium channels are for.

Sure it would be nice for them to show new movies on their standard channels, but what are the chances of that really happening? That's what pay-per-view and then HBO/TMC/SHO/MAX make their money on.

As for the movies they do show, of course there is room for improvement. I don't think newer is necessarily better though. And yes, they could definitely show a better selection. There's a thread on suggestions for movies for the Monsters channel. Most of those are older movies and would be great if they could get them.
