These are my selections for television movies this weekend and
on into next week.
Some movie channels may be part of basic service and some are premiums.
If you see a movie you enjoy enough that you wish to own a copy of it, please
come back here to purchase it.
In doing that you will be helping to support this website with your purchase.
Every week there will be a featured selection. It will be
indicated here by having its text in red.
Before its showing the featured selection will have a full review with multiple purchase selections (if
possible) in the Agora.
Last week is here.
I hope you enjoy this new capability and please share your thoughts on it with
me via e-mail.

This is a work in progress. It definitely will change. I hope
to improve
its format as time passes.
Currently it is based on a weekly survey of what is upcoming from Thursday to
the next Wednesday on
Turner Classic Movies, Fox Movie Channel, HBO(s), Cinemax(s), Showtime(s) and
The Movie Channel
(if a channel has both East and West instances, only the eastern one is listed
above).
