Ant-Man and the Wasp

mercredi 25 juillet 2018

Saw the movie Ant-Man and the Wasp at the Ward Theater on Tuesday night (7/25/18). It is a sequel to the movie Ant-Man as well as nods to the movies Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War.

The movie has a mixture of action, superhero, comedy on the side and your typical car chase scene in San Francisco.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again

lundi 23 juillet 2018

Saw the movie Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again at the Ward Theater on a Sunday afternoon (7/22/28) with a friend.

The movie is a musical comedy and a sequel to the movie Mamma Mia! which I haven't seen but my friend did see it.

The movie tells 2 similar stories set 25 years apart in the same place. It took a while for me to figure out which time period was being shown.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

lundi 16 juillet 2018

My friend and I saw the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom at the Ward Theater today (7/15/18). We both have seen the pervious movie Jurassic World when it was playing in the theaters a few years ago.

In this movie the volcano on the island Isla Nublar is coming back to live and will wipe out all of the dinosaurs on the island. A group wants to save the dinosaurs and enlist the aid of Clair and Owen from the last movie to help out in the effort.

Heroes and Icons (H&I) channel

dimanche 8 juillet 2018

On Friday (7/6/18) after tuning to MeTV on Spectrum channel 126, I then checked the program guide to see what's playing and I noticed that on channel 125 listed some Star Trek episodes being listed, not the original series but rather Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise episodes and I had missed the Next Generation and the original series episodes that aired that day.

I took a chance and tuned in to channel 125 and was able to view with no problem (note I have Spectrum Silver). During commercial breaks the channel was identifying itself as the Heroes and Icons or H&I. Also checking its Wikipedia entry it says that H&I is a sister network of MeTV.

Like MeTV it broadcast oldies TV series, but more of the action, adventure, police drama and superhero genres and the time range of series includes the 1990's and the 2000's. As I do this post Relic Hunter is on which was aired during the 1999 to 2002 time frame.

One thing I don't know is if H&I is available over the air or not. Their website and Wikipedia's entry doesn't list Honolulu (or anyplace in the state of Hawaii) as having an affiliate broadcast site.

I also don't know where the feed from Spectrum channel 125 is coming from.
