I am – Hercules!!
Inspired by the critics' best-of-2009 lists, I’m experimenting again, this time with a list of theatrical features I think may be new to cable in April. (If I’m missing anything, be sure to point it out. I’m particularly keen not to miss the documentaries and indie films when they roll around. Did I miss “Brothers Bloom”? What about “Drag Me To Hell”?) I threw in the scores from the top critics at Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic to help sort out movies viewers might be keen to pursue.
I’ve arranged the titles chronologically by cable premiere date to make it most useful to people with DVRs:
