Stay In And Go To The Movies This Easter!
Fans of eggshell-ent movies will have ample opportunity for egg-citement this Easter as Sky Movies' twelve dedicated movie channels present a basket of holiday goodies. With a choice of over 500 movies a week, from the finest in action cinema, to the funniest in Hollywood comedy, and the most fantastic in family fantasy, this Easter grab the popcorn, put your feet up and treat yourself to a fantastic movie extravaganza.
All Action April showcases the hardest movie stars ever to have locked and loaded in the name of entertainment. And on Bank Holiday Monday Sky Movies Action & Thriller presents the Die Hard Marathon: all four firepower filled movies back-to-back for the first time on UK TV, also available in HD (heavy destruction) on Action & Thriller HD.
Rubbing shoulders with all-time great action flicks are the weekly five new movies on Premiere & HD, here a year before they're reach any other channel*.
Good Friday sees the final day of Jumper and No Country for Old Men on the channel, and from Saturday 11th five more brand spanking new films should provide sufficient sugar-rush for those who egg-spected more chocolate.
Beehive haired, Captain Jack lookalike, radio rascal Russell Brand injects his surreal, loquacious humour into bawdy romcom Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the hit gigglefest from the Knocked Up and 40-Year-Old-Virgin boys.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall fans may also want to check out teen dance drama How She Move, while spellbinding fantasy The Spiderwick Chronicles is an enjoyable movie for all the family , and late night horror freaks are urged to make an appointment with Pathology.
Explosion junkies not completely satiated by All Action April will wallow in hog-heaven with Doomsday, a full-blooded, hi-octane smash-up of Mad Max, Escape From New York, 28 Days Later, Lara Croft, and that Duran Duran Wild Boys video.
Like all films on Sky Movies, this post-apocalyptic wallop of sound and fury is showing uncut and ad-free, just as director Neil Marshall intended.
And speaking of directors' intentions, the unique worldview of the Coen Brothers is showcased in the Indie channel's Coen Brothers Season.
Returning favourites on Sky Movies Family include the fiendishly funny The Addams Family on Good Friday and the ham-tastic Babe on Bank Holiday Monday. And from the beginning of April Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece of terror The Shining returns - Heeeeere's Johnny... in HD.
All of which makes Sky Movies the cream (egg) of the crop this Easter.
