Movies: The movies debuting Saturday night primetime are FIFTY SHADES DARKER, JOHN WICK: CHAPTER TWO and SPLIT. We may have a full five Sundays in the month, but only four Saturdays. So, where is the fourth movie?  In a bit of abnormal scheduling a documentary (see below) has a Saturday spot. Here is a closer look at each movie.

Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) and Anastasia Steele’s (Dakota Johnson) search for stability and trust is challenged in FIFTY SHADES DARKER, debuting SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14 (8:00-10:00pm). After Anastasia leaves town to explore a new career opportunity, she and Christian continue to build a relationship but are surprised to find their pasts getting in the way. Assassin John Wick is called back from retirement when an Italian gangster orders him to kill his sister in the thriller JOHN WICK: CHAPTER TWO, premiering SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21 (8:00-10:05pm). Keanu Reeves stars in the title role of the sequel. After three teenage girls Anya Taylor-Joy, Haley Lu Richardson and Jessica Sula) are kidnapped, they come to realize their kidnapper (James McAvoy) has multiple personalities – 23, to be exact. One of his villainous personalities attempts to take over the others and the girls must fight for survival in SPLIT, debuting SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28 (8:00-10:00pm).

 

HBO Documentary Films:  Now for that documentary. It is all about the cinematic wunderkind Steven Spielberg. I think you’ve heard of him. Acclaimed documentarian Susan Lacy pulls back the curtain on the remarkable career of Steven Spielberg, one of the most famous filmmakers in the world in SPIELBERG, debuting SATURDAY, OCTOBER 07 from (8:00 –10:30pm. In this exclusive HBO documentary, Spielberg steps out from behind the camera to open up about his directorial influences and motivations, while sharing little-known stories behind some of his most iconic films. Acclaimed producer/director Susan Lacy charts the evolution of this iconic filmmaker, having conducted nearly 30 hours of exclusive interviews with the famously private director, as well interviews with his family, friends and colleagues. Here is a sample.

 

HBO Special: The short film TOKYO PROJECT, starring Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale, Mad Men), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (HBO’s GIRLS) and Shu Kakizawa (HBO’s GIRLS) debuts SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14 (10:00-10:30pm), on HBO. Exploring a mysterious romance between two strangers, the exclusive presentation is written and directed by Richard Shepard (GIRLS), executive produced by Lena Dunham (GIRLS), Jenni Konner (GIRLS) and Karen J. Lauder, and produced by Stacey Reiss and Richard Shepard.

 In it, Sebastian (Moss-Bachrach) is on a business trip to Tokyo. Handsome and hip, he represents a high-end Brooklyn men’s grooming product company that has been successful in Japan. But there’s a sadness in Sebastian that’s not hard to notice, a past that’s haunting him. He’s also a film nerd, fascinated by Tokyo’s visual splendor and its rich cinematic history. Sebastian is also fascinated by Claire (Moss), a beautiful and mysterious woman he keeps running into, first at a noodle shop, and later at a hidden jewel of a sake bar. There’s clearly something between them. Claire is a photographer and roams the rich streets of this amazing city in search of images that will linger. Like Sebastian, there’s more to her than meets the eye – a haunted sadness that proves an undeniable attraction for him. So begins an erotic, highly charged night between two Americans in a foreign land. Here is our first look at it. 

 

HBO Sports: Ouch, we are really light on sports. HBO needs some revitalization in boxing, but at least it still has Gumbel & company and Lampley.  REAL SPORTS WITH BRYANT GUMBEL goes behind the box scores and statistics to tackle timely subjects in the world of contemporary sports. Featuring a top lineup of contributors, the next monthly edition debuts TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24 (10:00-11:00pm) and THE FIGHT GAME WITH JIM LAMPLEY goes another round WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18 (11:00 – 11:30pm). There is an unspecified BOXING AFTER DARK slated for SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21 at 10:05pm.

 

Other Movies and Shows: There is a slew, I mean count them, a slew of First Runs on HBO & HBO2. Some of these works have had airings on the other channels but they have since been bumped up to the main channel. Here is a sampling. VIEW FROM THE TOP in which a small-town girl played by Gwyneth Paltrow is flying high as she chases her dream of becoming a flight attendant; EVERYTHING MUST GO Movies_RockDog-210x300– talk about a bad day. For troubled salesman Will Ferrell, it can’t get much worse than losing your job and your marriage all in one afternoon. Also, you can find MR. 3000, a baseball airing before the World Series commences; FINDING NEVERLAND, SPY KIDS, DARK WATER and LIGHTS OUT and one I don’t remember called ROCK DOG which is an animation that is just what you think it is – a dog longing to be a rock star.

Since Halloween is this month you can be sure there are horror movies (I’m still waiting for a rebroadcast of TALES FROM THE CRYPT). HBO2 has THE NINTH GATE, THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR, STIR OF ECHOES and THE DARKNESS debuting.

 

HBO’s Other Platforms: Some different titles appear for a change. HBO Latino: A new series launches here and of course you can always subtitle it if you don’t speak the language. It is called LA VIDA SECRETA DE LAS PAREJAS (The Secret Lives of Couples) and offers the stories of a Brazilian therapist and his clients. That joins the continued entries from ENTRE NOS and the talk show CHUMEL CON CHUMEL. In movies, there is UN LUGAR EN CARIBE (A Movies_TROGS-160x300Place in the Caribbean) where love is in the air when a famous writer travels to a beautiful island to finish his latest novel, while a woman and her father who missed their cruise are forced to stay on the same island. Add to the lineup QUE DIOS NOS PERDONE (May God Save Us); in this thriller, two oddball police inspectors are assigned to work together to catch a serial killer in 2011 Madrid, just as the Pope is about to visit. In horror, we can add THE BROKEN. HBO Family: I looked for Horror here but, the closest might be THE MAN WITHOUT A FACE so instead I’ll offer THE WILD LIFE; THE PEANUTS MOVIE; FLIPPED; RICHIE RICH and THE SANDLOT and its sequel. HBO Signature: Next to the main channel I watch this one the most. I can always find something I’ve never seen or one I’d see again. I single out THE SHACK; CASANOVA; FROM WITHIN; DEAD PRESIDENTS; SHOT HEARD ROUND THE WORLD. The first one stars Sam Worthington, Octavia Spencer and Tim McGraw; the second is about the legendary lothario; FROM WITHIN is a small town thriller; next is the Hughes Brothers 1995 hit and that last title is a documentary that takes an in-depth look one of the most heated pennant races ever witnessed. I was in 1951, look it up or better yet watch. HBO Comedy: Finally Johnny Knoxville goes where he belongs with JACKASS: THE MOVIE; there is also Steve Martin’s 2006 remake THE PINK PANTHER and REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES with America Ferrera. HBO Zone: This channel’s Horror flick is HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION. Plus there are the movies CHAOS and SEE NO EVIL. I like, however, the description of THE RESURRECTION OF GAVIN STONE. The title character is a troubled former child star who is facing 200 hours of community service thanks to his trashing a hotel room. But being assigned a menial custodial job at a church in his former hometown may be just the thing he needs to find himself–especially after he lands the lead role in the church play and begins falling for its director…who happens to be the pastor’s daughter. To wrap up this section here is the trailer for THE SHACK.

HBONow/Go: Over on the streaming sites you’ll find all of the movies and shows I’ve mentioned here are also accessible to you there. If you are interested in any of them but can’t watch when HBO schedule them then watch onsite at your convenience instead. You can binge watch CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM if you missed any starting with Episode 01 “The Pants Tent” or catch up on a series you missed like the oneWeCanBeHeroes-300x169 & only season of VINYL. You can also find episodes from all the recent Emmy winners, all five installments of THE GAME REVEALED, or a John Turturro Fest catching him in THE BIG LEBOWSKI, CLOCKERS, DO THE RIGHT THING, MO’ BETTER BLUES, Mr. DEEDS and THE NIGHT OF. There is a new series coming to the sites that never aired on HBO. On 10.06 all six episodes of WE CAN BE HEROES (aired here on Sundance Channel) from Australian comic Chris Lilley joins rank with the rest of his series that are a part of HBO’s stable. Cinemax: From the co-creator of HBO’s hit comedy series “Silicon Valley,” MIKE JUDGE PRESENTS: TALES FROM THE TOUR BUS is an animated half-hour series chronicling the tales of some of country music’s most eccentric characters. The eight-episode season continues FRIDAY, OCTOBER 06 (10:00-10:30 p.m. ET), with other new episodes debuting subsequent Fridays at the same time; October’s shows spotlight George Jones and Tammy Wynette (two parts), Billy Joe Shaver and Waylon Jennings. The series was created by Mike Judge, Richard TalesFromTheTourBus02-300x200Mullins and Dub Cornett. Judge is executive producer; Glen Zipper, Sean Stuart and Dub Cornett are also executive producers. In movies the channel is touting the action comedy CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE, the thriller RUPTURE with Noomi Repace, the action picture THE LEGEND OF TARZAN and FIST FIGHT In that last one a wimpy high school instructor (Charlie Day) is challenged to a fight by the toughest teacher (Ice Cube) in the school. And there is plenty more where that came from. Cinemax has movies every night!

 

Next Month’s Tease: Do you know Rose Armitage? She is a character that appears in a favorable movie in November. She is played by someone who is not a stranger at HBO thanks to her girlfriends. Name the actress and the movie.

Last month’s Tease points us to filmmaker & mogul Steven Spielberg who gets our scrutiny via a 1 ½ documentary. We all know most of his work and now you can hear his side of his cinematic story.

 

Final Clip: I think we’ll give Bryant Gumbel the last word. You didn’t expect that, did you?

There is plenty to see so have at it!
