HBO BLOCKBUSTER OF THE MONTH
(ON NOVEMBER 27, 2009 - FRIDAY)
?I just ate, so I‘m still digesting, so my kung fu may not be as good as later on.?
Sorry?! Food and kung fu?? Gotta be it, when you ?ave a kickin?, boxin?, smashin? and buttin? Giant Panda. You got a Kung Fu Panda comin? your way.
Riproaring, silly, memorable, hugely entertaining, the Oscar-nominated Kung Fu Panda premieres on the HBO Blockbuster of the Month on 27th November at 9:00pm. Academy Award winners Dustin Hoffman and Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan (Yup! He?s there) and Lucy Liu are among those lending their voices and high-octane energy to their characters in this animated comedy.
Kung Fu Panda is Po, the adorable and enthusiastic but clumsy, kung fu-freak of a giant panda. He makes viewers respond in awe as he combines the characteristics of a cuddly animal with high- jumping, fist-flying, round-house kicking martial arts. The kids just love him; he enraptures grown-ups no less. Unexpectedly chosen to fulfill a prophecy, Po?s dreams become reality when he gets an opportunity to learn the art of kung fu. But can he really become a kung fu master? Po puts his heart and girth into the task, and the unlikely hero finds his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest strengths.
Don?t miss this inventive, lickety-split mad fun of slapstick, replete with luminous production design, only on HBO on 27th November at 9:00pm. Treat yourself to Kung Fu Panda.
HBO SEE IT FIRST
(A PREMIERE EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT, AT 9PM)
He is just a demon raised to be the saviour against the forces of darkness; just a red mammoth with an attitude, who wants to be accepted as a normal person by the humans he protects. But the government wishes to keep Hellboy a secret.
Portrayed by Golden Globe Award winner Ron Perlman, Hellboy continues with his struggle as HBO See It First?s exclusive array of movies begins with Oscar-nominated Hellboy II: The Golden Army on November 7. Along With his team, including love interest Liz Sherman (Selma Blair), Abe Sapien (Doug Jones), Hellboy protects the world from any dark threats. Hellboy II: The Golden Army picks up their story when the team finds people have vanished from an auction. This forms the spine of the movie and is the igniting factor of a war between the monsters of the dark underworld and humans.
With a signature blend of action, humor, and character-based spectacle, the saga of the world?s toughest hero from hell continues to unfold in Hellboy II: The Golden Army. In this epic vision of imagination from Oscar-nominated director Guilerno del Toro (Pan?s Labyrinth, Hellboy), the demonic superhero takes on the Golden Army to save the Earth from a marauding army of creatures, before hell ? quite literally ? breaks loose!
Watch Hellboy II: The Golden Army premiere on HBO See It First at 9pm on November 7.

Speed is his name and speed is all he is about. For, Speed Racer is a natural behind the wheel, aggressive, instinctive and fearless.

Combining heartfelt family humour and ground-breaking visual effects, Speed Racer (with Emile Hirsh in the lead role) is an American live action film adaptation of the 1960s Japanese anime series of the same name. SpeedRacer (Emile Hirsch) is an 18-year-old whose life and love has always been racing. When Speed steps on the track, it?s not just a race. It?s an adrenaline-fueled, high-speed charge to the finish!
Ultimate action comes your way with Speed Racer premiering on November 28 only on HBO. Don?t miss it.
HBO ORIGINAL MOVIE OF THE MONTH
m Hailed as the perfect casting of the title roles, Susan Sarandon, in the role of Doris Duke, and Ralph Fiennes as Bernard Lafferty bring to life the semi-factual and intriguing examination of the relationship between real-life philanthropist, environmental conservationist and patron of the arts and her butler in Bernard and Doris! An HBO Films presentation, Bernard and Doris! is subtle, constantly engaging and yet, almost never loses sight of the comic elements. Sarandon excels as the charming, isolated Doris Duke, heiress of a tobacco tycoon, who, after a string of failed marriages, reposts her faith in her homosexual help, Bernard. Catch the Susan Sarandon-Ralph Fiennes comedy drama on 24th November only on HBO!
November Chillz continues on HBO as the channel brings back the Golden Globe and Emmy Award- winning television series TrueBlood with the premiere of Season 2!

The Season 2 of TrueBlood premiere picks up from at the exact moment we left off in Season 1, beginning November 1, 2009 after the 9pm movie; thereafter every Sunday after the 9pm movie.
Season 2 not only takes the love story forward with the demonic and ?bloodcurdlingly? dark funny twists, but also introduces sub-plots involving the anti-vampire Fellowship of the Sun Church; Sookie?s slow-witted brother Jason?s indoctrination into the church; expanded role of Maryann Forrester, the powerful supernatural creature, who gradually gains control over the people of Bon Temps.
The HBO movie extravaganza has more, on HBO Friday Blockbusters and HBO Sunday Superhits.
