A new breed of vampires
Blade II' airs on HBO at 9 pm on July 9. The bloodthirsty undead are at it again — a genetically modified race of super vampires, better known as Reapers, have emerged. And this time, all the other vampires are on the serving platter. In an unprecedented move, Blade joins forces with the Old Order vampires to eliminate the increasingly vicious Reapers.
In doing so, he finds himself caught in the middle of a veritable vampire civil war. Starring Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson and Ron Perlman, the movie is steeped in action and adventure.
Species in myriad forms
The Pacific Ocean is the world's largest body of
water. Comprising about 33 per cent of the Earth's total surface, the ocean is home to several small islands — each containing diverse eco-systems of strange and varied animals.
Long segregated from the mainland, they have developed into unique species rarely found anywhere else. Impossibly large sting rays, neon-coloured fish, intriguing sea snakes and molluscs of every shape and size nestle in this underwater world.
Tune in to 'South Pacific' to find out more about these strange species.
The show airs on Animal Planet at 8 pm on July 9.
Comedy of errors
Dhamaal airs on Zee Cinema at 9 pm on July 9. Four slackers and a con-man share a room with a lenient landlady, who eventually gives up on them and kicks them out. After a number of tricks, the group is arrested by the police but released in the countryside.
At this point, they witness a car plummet down a cliff — it's sole occupant, Bose, an underworld don, tells them he has hidden Rs 10 crore in cash at St Sebastian's Garden in Goa, and promptly dies. The group races to Goa, little knowing that their plans will soon be foiled — albeit hilariously — by police inspector Kabir Nayak, bus hijacker-cum-bandit Babubhai and Nari Contractor, who wants cash to repair his damage car. Tune in to the movie for good fun and some hearty laughs.
