This April the mythical study Warner Bros celebrates 100 years since its launch. For this reason, the company is going to make important decisions regarding its own domestic distribution channels, especially in terms of rebranding. To the change to Max of its streaming platform is added the renewal of the old TNT by the clearer Warner TV.
The channel begins its new journey from Friday the 14th, and it does so with a Powerful lineup with many of Warner’s biggest releases of recent years (and some classics like ‘The Bodyguard’ or ‘Blade’). Today we highlight three of the most powerful and interesting of all the programming, which will be able to be seen broadcast on the network.
‘Joker’ (2019)
Address:Todd Phillips. Distribution: Joaquin Phoenix, Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, Frances Conroy, Brett Cullen.
Broadcasting both on Friday the 14th at night, almost as an opening gala for the channel, and also on Sunday the 16th at 7:35 p.m. There is no better declaration of intent than having one of the biggest cinephile obsessions of recent years. A film that combined superhero (or supervillain) cinema with prestigious cinema to give Joaquin Phoenix that elusive first Oscar as an interpreter.
Taking a more adult approach, taking as much as possible from Scorsese’s cinema as ‘The King of Comedy’, this Todd Phillips interpretation of the Batman villain shows courageous and defiant will. Also difficulty maintaining all the turntables he sets up, but she’s not short of great moments that distinguish it from any other film of the genrestarting with its refusal to be an action movie at any time.

‘A Star Is Born’ (2018)
Address: Bradley Cooper. Distribution: Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga, Sam Elliott, Rafi Gavron, Andrew Dice Clay.
At vermouth time on Saturday the 15th (1:35 p.m.) we can enjoy one of the best romantic dramas of recent years. Bradley Cooper’s debut as a director and Lady Gaga’s breakthrough as a fully capable movie star giving a new interpretation to a film classic that excites and also launches criticism at the entertainment industry.
One of the most prominent examples of the pygmalion, with the fading star helping the rising star develop his voice and find his place in a hungry industry that’s not afraid to tear apart. Cooper and Gaga have a priceless chemistry that elevates the classicist and exquisite storytelling of the former as a filmmaker, also counting on a formidable musical component thanks to powerful songs. There is no better example of how everything adds up correctly than the great moment of ‘Shallow’.

‘Pacific Rim’ (2013)
Address: Guillermo del Toro. Distribution: Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Diego Klattenhoff.
In the early hours of Saturday the 15th to Sunday the 16th we can also enjoy the most immense show of the last decade. One of Guillermo del Toro’s best movies, but the best, which forms a perfect bridge between the tradition of oriental kaiju cinema and the Hollywood blockbuster. Pulp at its core, knowing how to be accessible without oversimplifying.
He could have stuck to the rowdy monster-versus-robots extravaganza in the tradition of more expendable Transformers movies, but del Toro gives soul to a film that is undeniably spectacular. Del Toro’s magic helps make elaborate craftsmanship done on a hypertrophied scale seem simple. One of the best recent science fiction movies.
