HBO has made a name for itself by getting high-profile movie stars to act in its TV shows and, along the way, it has produced a number of pedigreed made-for-TV movies, as well. As audiences’ preference have shifted from the big-screen to the not-so-small ones in their living rooms, this trend has only been exacerbated. First, we
