True stories of human courage and strength are featured on Showtime this month.
World Trade Center recounts the horrific events of September 11 through the eyes of five police officers and shows how this tragedy consequently turned everyday men into true heroes. The Pursuit of Happyness did not make world headlines, but is by no means a lesser tale about the triumph of the human sprit. It explores one man’s ambition to be the best he can be against all odds.

After you’ve eaten far too many chocolates, why not sit back and relax with some of our favourite families this Easter weekend. Enjoy the kooky double feature, The Addams Family and Addams Family Values on Showtime Greats or our family of travellers in The Riches marathon on showcase.

Have a great March & Happy Easter!

He's passionate about movies and intrigued by the ways they're created, funded, distributed and received- or not--by audiences.
At the movies with Don Groves

Scott Rudin. Jerry Bruckheimer. Brian Grazer. Arnon Milchan. Joel Silver.

You may not know some of those names but chances are you’ve seen many of the movies they’ve created. These are Hollywood’s uber producers, an elite club of men, mostly—with, alas, only a few women—on whom the studios depend for a large portion of each year’s releases. Not just the blockbusters, but also an array of specialized or niche films, which studio executives invariably hope will have break-out potential.

Without these sharp, savvy operators, and the movie-making empires controlled by the likes of George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson and Harry Potter guru David Heyman, the Hollywood machine would all but collapse.

The studios rely on these entrepreneurs to source scripts from established or rookie writers; hook up with directors and stars; in some cases bring in much-needed dollars from external investors; oversee production to ensure each movie is delivered on time and on budget; and help determine distribution and marketing strategies.
