Silver Screen with Tafadzwa Zimoyo
Welcome to the first day of December. The year is coming to an end. I hope you won’t regret 2015.

You may have heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There’s another day you might want to know about: Giving Tuesday.

The idea is pretty straightforward.

The trick is to enjoy life, don’t wish away your days waiting for better ones ahead and this includes watching television

Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.

Of late I have been observing and watching some of the movies being screened on our ZBC TV.

My questions are: Don’t we have some local productions that we can screen? I mean invite film producers to give you content, because seriously the foreign movies are whack. And still on foreign movies, although screened late, it doesn’t mean we want to have the repeats each and every week. We have a lot of international movies happening, or enlighten me that maybe there are expensive to get or it is not allowed, but how come you play old movies?

Back to local film and movie producers, we have heard you making noise out there and where is the content or ZBC TV needs to state fully what they require when looking for content.

I rest my case on that but please we are now approaching the festive season, won’t it be wise have those moments on television from the young to old ones and please it would be myopic repeating the movies or productions of 80s, get something new and many would be happy with the value of their money.

ZBC TV is amongst my favourite and being a critic means I do follow it well, so kindly up the game.

On to DSTV well, the story might be similar on old movies as the norm that you can’t screen the new movies but at least we have a share on what to pick.

M-Net movies, is a way to go especially the Action with the Catch Up on side you won’t go wrong or miss it.

Still on the festive season spirit, a Christmas bonus is on the way to football fans on the DStv Compact Plus bouquet: England’s Barclays Premier League is returning to SuperSport 3.

Liz Dziva, publicity and public relations manager of MultiChoice Zimbabwe, said the return of live premiership games to DStv Compact Plus would start from December 1 (today), from when subscribers could access the bulk of the EPL action for the rest of the football season, which ends in May.

“All active Compact Plus subscribers will get the EPL experience on SuperSport 3, while SuperSport 5 will be made available for coverage of the Spanish La Liga,” she said.

“We are sure this will help brighten the Christmas season, which will also be boosted by a range of additional family entertainment on various bouquets. We know many subscribers are experiencing tough economic challenges at the moment and we want to make the festive season bigger and brighter with more great sport, children’s programming, news and general entertainment.”

The Barclays Premier League is considered the most popular ongoing sporting spectacle in the world, not only with top soccer action but also with larger-than-life characters who thrill, infuriate, spread joy and despair in equal measure.

Blockbuster matches coming up include Arsenal versus Manchester City (December 21), Manchester United versus Chelsea (December 28), Everton versus Tottenham (January 2), Liverpool versus Arsenal (January 13), Manchester City versus Everton (January 13), Chelsea versus Everton (January 16), Liverpool versus Manchester United (January 17) and Arsenal versus Chelsea (January 24).

“We hope DStv Compact Plus viewers will be pleased with this development and we thank them for the feedback they have given us in this regard,” said Dziva.
