HBO Mega Action Movie of the Month: "Hunger Games"

This month, HBO India is coming up with another sci-fi action thriller & that's 'The Hunger Games'. The movie released last year and this year it's coming on 13th July. Yay!

I’ve always had this thing for the sci-fi flicks. And this love of mine has only grown fonder over the years. So, when I heard that ‘The Hunger Games’ is soon going to get premiered, I was excited beyond limits. Now how amazing is it this!? Last year, they release the movie and this year I can watch it on TV. Yipppeeee! Thanks a lot HBO India! I really can’t thank you enough. 13th July, 9pm it is!

This English actione movie is based on a game where the totalitarian nation of Panem is divided between 12 districts and the Capitol. And eEach year two representatives are chosen at random each year from each district and they go for a televised fight. And iIn order to win itthe fight, one has to kill ones his opponent. Intense, huh? Well, the tagline does all the justice here. ‘May the Odds be Ever in your Favor’… it better be! In one such one event Katniss Everdeen aka Jennifer Lawrence takes her sister’s place and from there, the Hunger Games begin.

Gary Ross, the director of this English movie, has no doubt undoubtedly done a great job in turning this Suzanne Collins written novel into a movie. And trust me, you can actually see the efforts. The From acting, writing and to direction,- everything is in its place. Jennifer Lawrence as the main lead really has an enchanting effect. Thank Goodness oOut of a lot of those thirty ladies who went for the auditioned, she won. She is indeed the best for this role was the best fit. Proof: And bagging She won the Best Actress Oscar award this year for The Hunger Games, is a testimony enough. I’m sure that’s more for a proof.

Other than Lawrence, the character that really affected appealed to me is Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark. He has been presented as the baker’s son who hails from one of the districts and he is damn good with words. And that This plays the trick on his character. All in all, it’s ‘Certified Fresh’. The drama, the fiction and the plot take you to the an imaginary world that converts the impassive deed into an impassioned scene.

More than that, the wardrobeattire- Oh My God! It’s just too fictionary and goes back to the early era. Actually the whole plot dates back to entire plot is established in the early era. I think that’s the beauty of such movies. Totally a must watch, I tell you. Those of you who haven’t watched this movie, it’s recommended to that you watch it before its Part II the second part releases. And what better than HBO India to watch it on. TV. The comfort of TV, in the luxury of home. Less than a couple of It’s just a matter of few days and then you can enjoy this amazing flick on your television.

Coming 13th, 9pm on HBO India, the ultimate English movie channel- Mark your calendar and be ready to have a Happy Saturday! Yay!

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted – Coming Soon on HBO

‘I like to move it, move it…I like to move it.’ Madagascar, it is. And the happy news is soon HBO India is going to premier this animated English movie in June.

‘I like to move it, move it…I like to move it

This fun song really makes me move. And as much as I love this tune, I’m all in for the movie too. ‘Madagascar’ was the first Animated English movie that I ever watched. I am not much of a fan when it comes to animated movies. But because my cousin insisted, I had to go for it. And to my surprise, I loved it way too much. So, the best decision! It’s a super funny movie that makes you roll over the floor laughing your a** off. This flick has appealed to me so much that I’ve not missed any of the movies from this trilogy.

The best part for me is the star cast. From Ben Stiller to Chris Rock to David Schwimmer, it has it all. I especially love to hear ‘Friends’ fame David Schwimmer. Ross does suit in the role of the giraffe, Melman. Like really! And Ben Stiller as Alex, the lion. Now how cool is this!? It does take out the kid in you.

And as I remember the fun times while watching this flick, I’m delighted to tell y’all that HBO India has a plan to showcase the premiere of Madagascar 3 in June. Terrific, huh! I’m really thrilled. Though I’ve already watched it on big screen… who cares, it’s Madagascar we are talking about. And I am totally ‘Physically Fit, Physically Fit…Physically Physically Physically Fit’ to take part in the Madagascar madness.

To give you a little background, in this part, Alex (the lion), Marty (the zebra), Gloria (hippopotamus) and Melman (the giraffe) are back again and this time their fight to get to their beloved Big Apple takes them through Europe where they find the perfect cover: a travelling circus. The whole movie revolves around a circus which is losing its glory among the audience. And the job of this 'Madagascar' team is to reinvent the whole circus- the Madagascar style. And the thing that I loved is- the tagline.. It says: ‘Six years ago, they disappeared without a trace. Next summer, they finally resurface.’ Makes sense, huh?

While the movie is on its third part, it doesn’t lose its original effects. The penguin squads are very much there. And they are always there to save the day. Apart from this, the usual plot is also there and the jungle theme doesn’t lose its effect.

All in all, you will love this movie… for sure. An adventure-comedy-animation stuff that will definitely leave a smile on your face. I’m so glad HBO is premiering it soon. To know exactly when, you and I’ll have to stay tuned to HBO. And may I repeat that it really leaves you saying… just move it, move it. ;)

Game of Thrones - An Award Winning Home Production from HBO

One thing that all true lovers of great television and cinema around the world cannot deny is the priceless contribution of HBO’s home productions to the art of moving pictures. Year after year, HBO continues to churn out cinematic masterpieces in all possible genres that have gathered countless awards and accolades. And, the most impressive feature of these productions is that they do not appeal only to the classes but also to the masses which is reflected in their humongous worldwide sales and distribution.

Game of Thrones is the latest addition to that unending and already impressive list of HBO’s award winning home productions. The series is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by George RR Martin and its creators are David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. Although the series was highly anticipated since its early stages of development, it still managed to take the world of television with surprise with its high production value, authenticity and life like depiction. Considering that the series is based in the Medieval Fantasy genre; it was a huge gamble of both money and reputation but it was a gamble that certainly paid off and once again outlined HBO’s commitment to producing the highest quality of content for television.

Its first season aired in April 2011, and since then has been telecast around the world earning great reviews from critics. Many critics hailed Game of Thrones as the best television series of the year 2011 and the awards and the nominations that followed certainly proved them right. Game of Thrones was nominated in a whopping 13 categories for the Emmy awards and won two of them. The Blu-ray and DVD box set sold 350,000 units in the first seven days of its release, making it the largest first-week DVD sales among all the previous HBO television productions. Banking upon the tremendous success of the series, soundtracks, official merchandise, video games etc. were launched soon after.

However, the one thing that represents the true success of a television series above all else is whether it will be continued for another season or not. Well, the fans of Game of Thrones can certainly rejoice because it isn’t going anywhere for at least a couple of years because following the tremendous success of the first season not only a second season (aired on 1st April 2012) but also 3rd and 4th seasons were ordered by HBO.

It is because of HBO’s unrelenting pursuit of excellence in original programming that it has managed to be the leader of the pack for such a long time. And, if history is anything to go by then we can be sure that the only one capable of outshining HBO is HBO itself.

Boardwalk Empire - Another Cinematic Masterpiece from HBO

No one else does Period Dramas like HBO does it. Period! HBO over a period of several decades has produced countless television movies and series in all possible genres but it’s the period dramas that have always outshined the rest. The authenticity that HBO brings to its Period dramas remains unsurpassed till date. High production value, great actors & directors, outstanding vision etc. all of this comes later. The key driving force that really enables HBO to go on producing such great shows one after the other, year after year, is its commitment to cinematic excellence and its loyal viewers, whom it never disappoints.

HBO’s award winning period drama, Boardwalk Empire is yet another feather in the cap for HBO. The show is based on a book titled Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City and is set in Atlantic City, New Jersey, during the Prohibition era. The depiction of that time period is so authentic that not only did it get overwhelming positive popular response but a critical one as well. It is estimated that a whopping 18 million dollars were spent on the very first episode. This goes to show how committed HBO is to making the experience as original as possible, whatever the cost might be. And, of course it cannot be denied that having the Oscar winner Martin Scorsese, directing and the gifted Steve Buscemi in the lead role certainly made the series a lot more popular.

However the success of this show should not come as such a big surprise as it was more or less expected because it was created by none other than Emmy Award-winning screenwriter and producer Terence Winter of The Sopranos (another award winning HBO television series). Having such great names attached to this series made it quite an anticipated event in itself and it certainly did not disappoint.

As expected, the awards and accolades that were heaped upon the show clearly made it the most popular show of the year. It gathered an astounding 26 wins and 38 nominations in Emmy’s, Golden Globes, AFI, Screen Actors Guild Awards etc., including best director, best actor and best series.

Since its first episode aired in September 2009 the season has completed 2 seasons and has been renewed for a third, which should be good news for all the fans of this series out there.

In a time of big budget, special effects Hollywood productions; HBO’s continued support for such works of art goes a long way in revealing its true value system as a network whose priority has always been to produce such content that makes the art of motion picture reach its zenith.
