Showtime today has added 33 new movies to its streaming service.
The new films include Boogie Nights, director Paul Thomas Anderson’s inventive 1997 take on the 1970s adult film industry starring Mark Wahlberg as the cut out for legendary adult performer John Holmes; Empire Records, an under-noticed but charming 1995 comedy starring a fresh-faced Liv Tyler, Robin Tunney and Renee Zellweger as employees at an independent record store; Reds, Warren Beatty’s tour de force about the rise of American socialism in the early 20th Century; and Mississippi Burning, the 1988 crime drama based loosely on the real-life murders of three civil rights activists in the 1960s Jim Crow South. The film captured an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture as did the aforementioned Gene Hackman for Best Actor.

I have DirecTv streaming and I am using a Roku Stick. Is there some way to skip or fast forward through commercials?
