I just bought Spy Kids 2 and it seems defective. It locked up about 6 times during the movie. Each time it acted like a very long layer change - essentially a freeze for 4-6 seconds, then continued on with the scene. I found that I could fast forward through the freeze without a problem. This...

Thanks for the recommendations. I will definitely check out Sight & Sound, American Cinematographer and Millimeter.

Thanks for the tips, but I'm looking for mags or journals which aren't quite so commercial. More focused on analysis of films or directors. More like Film Comment or Cineaste. Anyone else?? Come on, I know there are some serious film students frequenting this forum.

Hey all you film buffs - I need your suggestions on your favourite film magazines or quarterlies. I don't mean DVD or Home Theater mags, but serious discussion of film and cinema. Let me know what you read, and why you like it. Thanks

It used to be hard to find, but, just in the last few months, I keep seeing it at flea markets and such. I think you can still get it at Columbia House as a fulfillment title, and if I'm not mistaken, it's down to a $19.95 enrollment. I've seen it as high as $35-40 in the past. Price may be...

I keep seeing a "Brazilian" edition of M. Hulot's Holiday on sale at ebay (listed as a Region 0). Does anyone know anything about this?? Does it have any legitimacy whatsoever or is it simply a boot?

Well, Return to Neverland far exceeded my expectations. I thought the animation was pretty good, the voices were terrific, and I was pleased that Disney didn't try to pepper the film with pop culture references. Sure, it had a few flaws - no memorable songs, a bit of a weak plot. But overall...

Thanks for the reply, Robert_J. One question, though. Why would I need to keep both receivers near the HD TV. Wouldn't I just want to connect the 6000 to the HD TV (via component or S-VHS?), and use the non-HD receiver on another TV. Then I could either cable from each of these receivers to...

I need a little advice again. I've honed in on the Dish 6123 system with an extra 2800 receiver. I have 4 tv's. I'm considering a wireless system to hook up the 2 extra tv's into the receivers (in other words, each receiver will feed 2 tv's - one tv with cables, the other wireless). Has anyone...

Hey everyone! Hope you can help. OK - I need to tap into the great Hometheaterforum member network out there....I have a Mits 55807 with digital cable (it's terrible - from Time Warner). I have procrastinated long enough, and now I want to get a satellite system. I think I am focused on the...
