The choice has definitely got smaller over the last 4/5 years. There used to be 3 pages in Arts and Music that included a full length opera. That's gone down to one page, occasionally 2, and the full length opera has gone.
I definitely remember at least 4 pages of New Releases and also 4 pages of films in the Film Library section. Being New doesn't mean the films are actually any good. Sometimes it's great to kick back and watch a classic movie. Perhaps rather than call it Movie Library, they can show Classic Movies like The Godfather series - in fact the whole Godfather series was on the Movie Library in my flight to/from HKG at the start of the year.
Not everyone wants to watch The Hangover Part 3. How that film got even made the first time round, let alone two sequels bemuses me. It's absolute dross.
