Calm down, ladies!  This is NOT a confirmation of a new Sex and the City movie but do keep reading.  In a recent interview with Extra Sarah Jessica Parker aka Carrie Bradshaw got a little “carried away” when asked about a potential Sex and the City 3: “I’ve been saying…there is one story left to tell,” the actress said. “If it is, in fact, the right time and the right place, maybe we should tell it.” Okay, so she didn’t get “carried away” but she did give us a comment which is more than we can say for the past couple of...

From Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, LIFE’S TOO SHORT SPECIAL will wrap up the story of actor Warwick Davis, a little person trying to hustle his way back into the spotlight, when it premieres FRIDAY, JULY 5, exclusively on HBO. Davis reprises his role as a fictionalized version of himself in the follow-up to the HBO comedy series. After a long cold spell, things are looking up for the self-aggrandizing Davis, who once appeared in some of Hollywood’s biggest hits (the “Harry Potter” and “Star Wars” films). He’s living with his new girlfriend, Amy, and is elated to learn...

Well, they must because they are continuing with their The Weight of the Nation Initiative.  In May 2012 HBO was a key component in a multi-media outreach program to address the obesity issue in America.

Now that you have refreshed your memory by checking out those links here is a quick look at what is happening this year.   On 05.07 HBO, all across its channels, will air two new documentaries under the collective banner of THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION FOR KIDS. They will be joined by a repeat broadcast...

Many are eagerly awaiting the return of Aaron Sorkin’s THE NEWSROOM. We have already been reminded of its return via a  Tease and if and when a full Trailer or two arise they will be appended to that particular post. But, here to whet your appetite for the stressful, fast-paced world that is the ACN newsroom and anchor desk here is Sorkin (creator/executive producer) & Alan Poul (executive producer/director) in a video from the set. To me the most interesting information is the opening line from the show’s creator. He says that Season 2 has a “different structure” than Season...

As we reach the halfway point of the third season of HBO’s Game of Thrones, you might find yourself becoming better acquainted with some of the terminology of Westeros. While much of “the Common Tongue” is similar to ours, there are a plethora of words, phrases, places and events which can sometimes confuse the newer viewer, especially if said viewer has not yet read the A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels. What you’ll find here is a compilation of terms, places and things that should help you navigate the world of Game of Thrones, laid out for you… alphabet style....

Overview:  The fifth episode of VICE on HBO gives us three segments; one told by each of our correspondents. The first segment is MORMON LOST BOYS. In this piece we find that in today’s Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) Church, many young men have been thrown out of their homes because of edicts allowing polygamist church elders to monopolize all the eligible young girls. These “lost boys,” few of whom have even an 8th-grade education, must adjust to a drastically different America than the one they grew up in. We travel to Utah to meet some of these young men and listen to...

The sixth season of HBO’s hit show “True Blood” is coming down the pipe faster than Russell Edgington can drain a faerie. June 16th is the official premier date and picks up right where season 5 ended – with Bill drinking the blood of Lilith and transforming into some super vampire monster (commonly referred to as “Billith” by fans); Eric yelling “RUN!” at Sookie after Billith arises from the pile of vampire goo that was Bill; and Pam, Jason, Tara, Jessica, and Nora riding on an elevator together, about to go into battle against the remaining security forces of the...

Here at HBOWatch we value all sorts of opinons.  As fans we don’t just sit back and agree with everything the Home Box Office does!  That’s why we’re proud to let this article stand on our site today when many of the authors and editors on the site may disagree with some of the points made here.  Please do feel free to leave a comment below with your own opinions.  While I know, and fully understand, that this is an HBO fan site, and while I do love almost everything HBO has produced in the last several years, this does not detract from the fact that HBO is not...

If you look past the dragons, sorcerers, and blood you’ll realize that Westeros is just another country trying to survive.  Much like America and many other non-fictional countries, Westeros has a small group of people that help run the country.  In America, our presidents have their respective cabinets that assist them. In Westeros, the King has a Small Council. The most recent Small Council stands as such. The Hand of the King Tywin Lannister “The King shits, and the Hand wipes.” Ser Jaime Lannister accurately described Ned Stark’s last title when he was appointed Hand of...

Overview: An HBO press release sets up this documentary this way - Osama bin Laden, a wealthy Saudi who had taken up the cause of the Muslim jihad and helped establish the secret terror network al-Qaeda, was one of America’s greatest threats. From the early 1990s he was the obsession of a small group of CIA analysts and operatives who were determined to stop him before he launched a strike on U.S. soil. MANHUNT features testimony and recollections – many shared for the first time – from the CIA officers who labored to destroy bin Laden’s terrorist organization and eventually kill the...

You know summer has arrived when “True Blood” returns to HBO. Along with our return to Bon Temps on television, we must also acknowledge the end of Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse mystery series (also known as the Southern Vampire Mysteries). Book 13, Dead Ever After, is due to be released on May 17th. The close of the book series, and rumors that Season 6 will be the last for the HBO series, brings us the inevitable, burning question: who is Sookie’s supernatural soulmate?
