"Want some action ? then talk to my hand!.. blast!!"
Heads up for another action packed Sunday nights from June 19-July 17 at HBO, our favorite movie blender for home tv is back with their HBO Action Nation, Its funny that I didn't post this earlier and was reminded by my PR contact when I met her in our Toycon event and my heart giggles after looking at the list of movies that will be aired on cable TV, all of them are new and 1st time to be aired only at HBO.
I missed the airing of
The Karate Kid (2010) movie last June 19th, but I will not miss the remake of
Clash of the Titans (2010) movie tomorrow June 26 at 9PM, I even saw a commercial that the classic movie will be aired first before the remake, isn't that juicy? geeks, greeks, gods, goddess will be there! awesome!
And because that my wife wonders lots of home movie-thons, I'm going to offer her that the movie
The Losers will be aired on July 3 at 9pm and then she will love again after I told her that her favorite actress Angelina Jolie will have her movie
SALT aired in July 10 at 9pm in HBO, she missed that movie and she hated me after I watched it alone few months ago ( I told her it was a premiere movie event and she didn't believe on me)
But the most important movie for me is the airing of
Iron Man 2 on July 17 at 9pm, I'm going to delay first in buying an original DVD of the Iron Man 2 and will just wait to watch this on my home screen, its a big birthday gift for HBO to me for the month of July 2011, yeah! that month is my natal day and all the geekyness will rule the month of July.
