Blockbusters mania

This month, HBO brings top-notch blockbuster premieres to Indian television, along with a host of popular movies, across genres. I Am Legend starring Oscar-nominated Will Smith, premieres on October 17 at 9 p.m. Smith is in the role of a virologist in New York City under the siege of dark seekers. These are zombie-like bald, pale and extremely hostile humans who can’t tolerate UV radiation because of a deadly genetically re-engineered measles virus that mutated into a lethal airborne strain. For all the horror movie lovers, there’s One Missed Call on October 10, starring Shannyn Sossamon. It is a chilling ghost tale of cryptic cell-phone messages foreshadowing a series of grisly deaths.

Next in line on October 24 is the multi-starrer Beowulf. With Oscar-winner Anthony Hopkins, Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich among its talented cast, this fantasy film is a treat in terms of path-breaking animation and brilliant visuals. It takes you on a roller-coaster ride to a daredevilry filled, magical, thrilling and awesome world of mummies on October 30, 9 p.m. with the screening of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor starring Brendan Fraser. Owen Wilson’s fans can catch the heart-warming comedy Drillbit Taylor on October 31.
