I'm surprised to not see this already on this forum... I rented this on SD-DVD from Rogers Video, was a little miffed when I first saw the Quebecor media logo at the front, (Since when does this conglomerate, famous for the sleazefest tabloid Toronto Sun start releasing foreign film DVDs?!)...

Being a studying film student, I am astonished that I am in my 4th year, and almost nothing has been taught regarding sound design. Most we got was a discussion about the very introduction of sound, and the restraining effect it had on performances, and the later integration of it stylistically...

The FOX logo intro at its best is one of the strongest cinematic intros out of all the studios. On the Die Hard discs it has the greatest punch through the sound system. It seems odd though that so many other FOX discs with the exact same musical score do not have the same force with the logo...

Revenge of the Sith has been playing twice today on The Movie Network in HD in Canada in it's OAR, and I understand it also played recently on HBO. Not sure if too many here caught it or if it was in OAR HD. What I find striking though is that compared to my own DVD, which I have watched on...

Even with a one or two beers I might not be at my best, but a random conversation that was just sparked on the bus really irked me just now. Randomly a guy turns to me while I'm chatting on my own with people I just did a film shoot with, and says something like 'You look intelligent, you watch...

Being a recently turned 20 year old on a University Residence with largely 18 year olds who are below the drinking age in Ontario, I am nagged repeatedly about why I do not drink. I've been constantly told that I am not living, or having a good time unless I am drinking, and/or smoking pot...

At least according to this BBC poll. I'd actually come closer to calling this poll the worst poll ever, rather than the movie. While I admit that Titanic has it's flaws, I still find love for it. There's a hell of a lot worse movies than Titanic could be. There's also the placement of AI...

This is for LAW class. I'm looking for a specific word but I can't recall what it is. In a hypothetical situation, say I've been stranded at sea with a group of people, no food, and the only way to survive is to sacrifice someone so that the rest can survive. The person we sacrifice is weak...

Wow...I've never started an official review thread before! Before attending this screening, I was forced to endure the 1970's Japanese film Female Convict Scorpion which was quite the most horrendous movie I've ever seen. It just showed people of the most despicable nature. Murderous escaped...

I just recently entered the glorious world of University, and with that, I have moved to Ottawa's Carleton University. (Mental note: Change profile) My question is about movie theatres... Which ones are good quality? During my orientation visit in the summer I entertained Pirates of the...

I'm finally making the move from dial-up to DSL. A friend of mine though claims that Windows XP Home Edition has a bandwidth cap of about 250 kpbs. (I think that was the number. He doesn't remember anymore.) He claims the only way to remove the cap is to buy Windows XP Professional. Of course...

If there's one movie I've REALLY wanted a sequal too, it's Free Enterprise. I can go without another Terminator, but the characters in Free Enterprise were just so enduring. At last, my pleas, our pleas are being answered! Here it is. There's also talks of a TV series, which would just be...

This is something that's been bugging my mom for a while. Why is the boss character carry the name of Zed? As opposed to Zee which is the correct American word for the last letter of the alphabet. My mom thinks it's some subtle Canadian reference inserted by some crazy canuck, but I think it's...

Apparantly CBS put up the pics of the cast, and then pulled them down again. Within that time, web users were able to pull all the pics and names! I promise you this is the ONLY time I will ever be posting a link to SurvivorSucks! (Admin note - just pasted in the actual link.) Link...

My dad kinda sprung this on me TODAY for a possible XMAS present...but anyways...he was wondering what are the best LCD moniter brand names out there? He's looking into Samsung specifically, but I'd like to know what other ones you can recommend! Thank you!

Hello. I'm trying to burn a bunch of pictures I obtained on my computer to a CD. It's a long story, but in short, I have a bunch of 300 kb pictures stored on my computer which I want on a CD. Only problem is, my CD R drive is in a different computer. Simplest solution? Surely it's to just...

Call me a rip-off artist if you will, but I find the previous thread intersting! - That gross out humour is not the only kind of humour. - That we can understand it when stories which in reality took place in other countries with different people, on film DO take place in those countries...

Link Removed WORK, STOPPAGE? Who do these players think they are? It seems like the union has barely begun to negotiate about anything in particular, and are already planning their strike just to make sure they get all their demands. This is just so ridiculous. They act like baseball's a...

Hey! A certified Canuck here! I'm taking a trip to Florida in a few days, and I'm just curious, how is the pricing of Criterion discs over in America? I've seen all the rage over the discs and would like to own a few, but I've been turned off by the extreme prices I've seen over here, as in...

You know, in MAD Magazine, in those SPY vs. SPY comics! I personally have always had a soft spot for Black SPY. I'm not sure why, but I have to admit I'm pretty much a Black SPY fan! The great thing about these SPY vs. SPY comics is that they are so unpredictable. Unlike Itchy And Scratchy...

Here's a problem I've just noticed. I can't play Paramount DVDs on my PC correctly. At first I thought it was a problem just with newer discs. I popped in Star Trek, The Motion Picture, and the video came out non vertically compressed. i.e., the 16x9 picture was filling the 4x3 screen...

This is part of a research assignment in school. a) Was there ever a Channel one? If so, why was it discontinued? b) What international organization in existence today uses this frequency? This whole thing seems kinda irrelevant now that I have satelite! But still, what do you know?

Is anybody else experiencing problems with hotmail? I have no problems reading messages, it's just sending that's becoming a huge problem. Hitting the delete key crashes Internet Explorer, (Making replying to messages awkward) and it's impossible for me to send anything to another hotmail...

I am asking this, because on more than one occasion, I have found my commitment to OAR only presentations challenged by friends, and even family members. Example: In school, I am taking a film studies course. One of the movies we watched recently was Batman. (It was an example of unique...
