Sly Movies Part of Encore Special

If you receive the Encore movie channel you may want to tune in to "Shooting the Police: Cops on Film," premiering July 1st at 8:00 p.m. The original half-hour special takes a look at the cop film phenomena and how the heroes have changed over the years. The special was produced as part of Encore's "Summer Heat: 31 Days of Cop Movies," a month-long festival of cop films every night at 8:00 p.m., all month in July.

Clips from "Nighthawks", "Die Hard", "Heat", and many other movies will appear as filmmakers such as Larry Cohen ("Phonebooth"), Carl Franklin ("Out of Time"), Steven de Sousa ("Die Hard") and others discuss the popularity and changes the genre has experienced.

Sly films represented during the month arre "Nighthawks" [July 3rd and July 19], "Judge Dredd" [July 20], and "Demolition Man" [July 29th].
