Don't get me wrong: I enjoy the mindless tripe that clogs the box office as much as then next guy, but the number of lame indie Canadian flicks or shows about stuntmen makes the programming hard to stomach.
With four stations (plus two more in HD) you'd think there would be something worth watching during prime time. Usually, you'd be wrong: http://moviecentral.ca/schedule/default.asp |
Yeah, moviecentral isn't great, but it's nice to have once in awhile for a couple more options. I hate watching movies on TV because of the commercials, and this obviously takes it away. And there's always movies that I enjoy in the theatres but not enough to rent for a re-watch, but if I see it on Movie Central, I'll give it a shot. But I agree, there's a lot of crap on there as well. There's this horror movie involving a bear in the woods that's so low budget, the bear looks so bad, it's laughable, and movie central shows it at least once a week. I think it's called Grizzly Rage or something like that.
