We can only hope you find something of interest. HBOWatch will help you along the way with a look at all the developing news and reviews of as many of the series, movies and specials as we can.

Bartending at the party is Joel (Garrett Hedlund), an aspiring artist who catches Olivia’s wandering eye. Deciding to mentor the handsome young man, Olivia offers him lodging and a workspace at her home, a remote estate with picturesque countryside views.

HBOFamily_Logo2

 

HBO’s Other Platforms: Here are some entirely random picks HBO Latino: We start with a short film (14 minutes long) that sounds like a ROOM 104 episode. It is ALEX, LISTEN TO YOUR HEART in which a young man who has given up on love gets a call from his heart. While dreaming of prosperous futures, three young habaneros decide to open a business on the rooftop where they hang out in EL TECHNO (On The Roof). Also debuting is LA PUNTA DEL ICEBERG (The Tip of the Iceberg) in which an executive of a multinational company is assigned to investigate why three of its employees working on a secret project committed suicide and PROMOCION FANTASMA (Ghost Graduation) a comedy about a teacher with paranormal abilities who is hired to help a group of deceased students graduate so they will stop haunting a high school. HBO Family: Family flicks to nestle under a blanket to all watch together could be HOLES, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS, HONEY, I BLEW UP THE KIDS and the animated THUMBELINA. Plus there are always plenty of repeats of SESAME STREET, CRASHBOX, ELECTRIC COMPANY and FRAGGLE ROCK for the young ones. HBO Signature: There is CIVIL BRAND about an imprisoned African American woman who attempts to expose the atrocities inflicted upon female inmates behind bars; GREY GARDENS with Drew Movies_Hamlet2Barrymore and Jessica Lange; PRIDE AND GLORY tells of a botched raid that takes down four officers and sets the NYPD unit up for scrutiny. Detective Ray (Edward Norton) reluctantly leads the inquiry. LAST OF THE MOHICANS is another good movie; that one stars Daniel Day-Lewis. HBO Comedy: Have you ever seen SERENDIPITY, THE ROCKER, BAD COMPANY or HAMLET 2? This could be your chance. That last movie has a talentless high-school drama teacher who lays it all on the line as he attempts to mount his dream project–a musical sequel to Hamlet. Steve Coogan, Catherine Keener, David Arquette, Amy Poehler and Elisabeth Shue star. HBO Zone: New Orleans cop John Cena must undergo a dozen death-defying tests of nerve in order to save his girlfriend from a psycho criminal in 12 ROUNDS; in EXTREME OPS a group, while shooting a commercial on a remote Austrian mountaintop, put their extreme sports skills to good use when they clash with terrorists; in LOVE AND A BULLET, a hired contract killer falls in love with his target–his boss’s girlfriend—and begins to reconsider his deadly career. You can also find THE DARKNESS, SCREWED, THE STRANGERS and FROM MEXICO WITH LOVE. Okay, maybe CINDERELLA’S HOT NIGHT sounds better? If you don’t believe me, it’s on the schedule just look it up.

HBONow/Go: We already told you of Harry Potter’s arrival. Here, alphabetically are all the movies in the franchise now at home at HBO. HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS from 2002, HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS (Part 1) from 2010, HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS (Part 2) from 2011, HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE from 2005, HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE from 2009, HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX from 2007, HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN from 2004 and HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER’S STONE from 2001. Also on the streaming sites is a collection you’ll want to see entitled “17 Biggest HBO Moments of 2017.” They are not whole episodes, but cinematic moments ranging from 3 to 5 minutes long. There is an intimate moment with Carrie Fisher & Debbie Reynolds from their documentary, key scenes from BIG LITTLE LIES, SILICON VALLEY, BALLERS and VEEP. There is also Arya and Sansa’s reunion, Hannah Horvath’s surprise news and Issa getting an eyeful. You’ll find Jon Stewart, John Oliver and Golovkin.
