The Reelz Channel is a 24-hour TV network devoted to movies, with original programming featuring top movie critics and tv personalities such as Leonard Maltin, Richard Roeper and Sam Rubin. I’ve been watching the network since it first appeared on DirecTV in November, 2006. Recently, while I was in NYC covering the “Harry Potter 7.2” red carpet, I met two people who appear on the Reelz Channel: Jeremy Parsons – a reporter for the network’s main news show “Hollywood Dailies”, and Ashley Williams – co-host of “Mark at the Movies”.
And that’s led to this: I will finally be on the Reelz Channel myself, this weekend, when I make an appearance on “Mark at the Movies” (which airs Saturday morning @9:00am and again very early Sunday morning @2:30am). I did an interview with Mark and Ashley, via Skype. We talk about HP and a few other things. What a great time!
I make sure to catch “Hollywood Dailies” every weekday to get caught-up on the latest entertainment news. The channel as a whole is a great source to learn about everything that’s going on in Hollywood.
And I’m the only one who enjoys this network. Celebrities such as Dwayne Johnson, Mark Wahlberg and others consistently tell the “Reelz” reporters how much they like the programming.
The miniseries “The Kennedys” really put “Reelz” on the map back in April, and it just grabbed 10 Emmy nominations.
The Reezl Channel is available on DirecTV channel 238, and is also on many regional cable networks. I hope you get it. And be sure to watch “Mark at the Movies.
