TREME
New Orleans, 25 months
later. Crime and corruption
are up, culture is being
trampled, and the people
who matter—the workers,
families and dreamers who
still live here—have had it.
The acclaimed HBO drama
series set in post-Katrina
New Orleans returns for
its third season. Set in late
2007-early 2008, Season
3 finds the city’s recovery
at stake. Diminished by
grief and loss, but fed up
with incompetence and
graft, the various characters—
musicians, chefs, and
Mardi Gras Indians, among
them—unite in the shadow
of a murder prosecution
and begin to make inroads
in demanding that their
music, art and well-being
be protected. (AC,AL,N,V) TVMA-:59

final mark on the game. Justin Timberlake co-stars.
(AC,AL,V) PG13-1:51
TRUE BLOOD
With the Authority in flames, TruBlood in short supply and humans and vampires in open conflict, a plethora of new threats arise for Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and her Bon Temps allies in Season 6 of the hit HBO series. As “Billith” comes to terms with his new powers after emerging from a pool of blood at the close of Season 5, Louisiana governor Truman Burrell (Arliss Howard) declares open season on vampires, replete with novel anti-vamp weapons and a high-tech internment camp. Meanwhile, Sookie and Jason steel themselves for an encounter with the killer of their parents: the mysterious Warlow. The hit HBO series returns with a whole new wave of otherworldly characters, including Vampire Guardian Roman (Christopher Meloni); vampire zealot Salome (Valentina Cervi); Authority Chancellor Nora (Lucy Griffiths); werewolf pack leaders J.D. and Martha, who want a reluctant Alcide to take his rightful place as packmaster; and many more.

VEEP
Senator Selina Meyer has just become the Vice President of the United States and discovered that the job is nothing like she expected-but everything she was warned about.

A VERY HAROLD & KUMAR CHRISTMAS
’Twas the night before
Christmas and at Harold’s
abode, a prize Christmas
tree was in ashes, thanks
to Kumar’s phat bowl.
Harold’s family was all
snug at midnight mass, so
H & K knew they would
have to act fast. So on a
mission they went to find
a new tree, causing havoc
and mischief with everyone
they would see. And
they were heard to
exclaim as they got high
as a kite, “Holy #!%$, it’s
the ghost of Neil Patrick
Harris, this sure is a
great night!” “This film
will stuff your stocking
with profane, perverse,
politically incorrect glee”
(Minneapolis Star Tribune).
So take a break and enjoy John Cho, Kal
Penn and Neil Patrick
Harris. (AC,GL,N, V) R-1:29
WANDERLUST
Peace, love and the
occasional nudist may
be just what the doctor

couple in this “funny and
outrageous” (IGN Movies)
comedy. After a rough
patch leaves them
unemployed and broke,
George and Linda (Paul
Rudd, Jennifer Aniston)
leave New York City
behind for a fresh start
in Atlanta. It doesn’t get
any fresher—or groovier—
than Elysium, a riotously
far-out hippie commune
that George and Linda
stumble upon...and
changes their lives forever.
Co-starring Justin
Theroux, Malin Akerman,
Kathryn Hahn, Lauren
Ambrose and Alan Alda.
Directed by David Wain;

The horror and heroism of September 11, 2001, is seen from the perspective of the hijacked airplane that did not reach its intended target, thanks to a selfless group of passengers. Described by Variety as “taut, visceral and predictably gut-wrenching,” United 93 chronicles the flight as the four hijackers take control and steer a course of terror. While air-traffic controllers and military personnel scramble in the wake of planes slamming into the Twin Towers, the passengers of Flight 93 realize they are part of another suicide mission-and that they are the only hope to stop it. Written and directed by Paul Greengrass. United 93 has been seen on various HBO channels: HBO, HBO SIGNATURE, HBO LATINO and HBO HighDef. All 3000 names (AL,V) R-1:51.

HBO is one of the few TV networks remaining that does not currently brand programming with semi-transparent logos of the main network and each respective theme channel, let alone damned annoying animated ads for other programming across the bottom of the screen during movies.
