It is time to pop the champagne, as Times Television Network launches Movies Now a movie channel, which will air high-resolution Hollywood films. The new channel promises to bring some excellent films. Ranging from genres like action, drama and comedy, it will air blockbusters like Diehard-4, X-Men and many more. It will be available on direct-to-home (DTH) platforms throughout the country. "Movies Now will give viewers a whole new experience with stunning pictures and 5.1 surround sound. Viewers will get to watch the best of ‘Hollywood in HD’ for the first time in India," says a spokesperson. It would be interesting to watch whether Movies Now can match up with its peers like Star Movies and HBO, which also air blockbusters that are fast gaining a niche viewership. Million in a minute! It is a game show to beat all game shows. Because here you can win a million dollars in a minute! Minute to Win It on Saturday at 9 p.m. on AXN is being hosted by all-American chef and television personality Guy Fieri. The show aims to challenge contestants to do unusual and often entertaining tasks within a 60-second timeframe to win a cash prize of a million bucks. In each episode, competitors will face 10 challenges that escalate in level of difficulty using everyday household items. Each game has a one-minute time limit and failure to finish the task on time will eliminate the contestant. At various points throughout the game, the competitor can walk away with the money earned up to that point — but it’ll take nerves of steel to complete all 10 tasks to win a million. — NF
