    Mean Girls (2004)

    How different is it from buying a CD from Amazon.com or .co.uk like I do all the time and pay the disks in USD or GBP than buying online from them? If they have some licensing issues with Apple selling songs and albums to canadians, why do they allow Amazon to sell them to us? Someone above...

    Mean Girls (2004)

    Ok, but I'm not gonna use their program on my machine. I want the soundtrack in a *USABLE* format (That is, a CD) Even if I installed one of those programs that install as a fake soundcard in Windows to convert them to WAVs, I would lose a lot of quality in reencoding them to MP3s for my...

    Mean Girls (2004)

    I saw the link, but to me, a CD that is only available on iTunes is like a DVD only available in Pan & Scan, I consider it not available at all! I will not buy a Mac. I will not buy an iPod. I'll check on Kazaa just in case... But I'd prefer to get an actual CD than be stuck with a lossy...

    Mean Girls (2004)

    I saw this last week and really loved it. I was afraid of being in another "Lizzie McGuire Audience" but it was ok. And I don't feel guilty of liking it. One thing I really loved about this movie was the music, anyone knows why the soundtrack is nowhere to be found? I just went to all the...

    A Problem With Fear, OAR?

    Ok, I just spoke on the phone with the person in charge of DVD Editions at Christal Films and she confirmed that it is OAR. It's not Anamorphic though but the movie is complete which is what really matters. It was nice to see that she appreciated the fact someone knowledgable was calling...

    A Problem With Fear, OAR?

    Someone earlier told me to do a google search and I did. I found the site you mentionned, the one that said it's featureless. I also looked up all the DVD Retailers listed on Yahoo Canada and most of them had no AR Info, one said it's fullscreen and another said it's Widescreen 2.35...

    A Problem With Fear, OAR?

    The full title is "A Problem With Fear or Laurie's Anxiety Confronting The Escalator", it's not that I have "A problem with" a movie called "Fear" hehe! According to what's written on the DVD, it was directed by Gary Burns, and it stars Paulo Costanzo and Emily Hampshire. The movie was made...

    A Problem With Fear, OAR?

    No, over here it had a very brief theatrical run and it was 2.35:1. The cover is read with the guy's head upside down. Another source said it was OAR, but they said that a month before release so it may not be reliable:

    A Problem With Fear, OAR?

    I don't know if anyone here has seen or heard of this little known indie Canadian film. It was released on DVD a month ago, I couldn't find it anywhere so I placed a special order at HMV and went to pick it up today. I looked at the specs on the back and there is absolutly no mention of...

    People from North America, do you like any non-english songs?

    Although french is my first language, I've never been too fond of french language music, probably because it's constatly being shoved down our throats (Or should that be ears?) around here.

    *** Official UNDERWORLD Discussion Thread

    Where I saw it, the rears were not working! But it's good enough to see it again, especially to hear it in proper 5.1... And the DVD, unless it's P&S-Only, I will buy!

    Do you re-arrange Widescreen/Fullscreen DVD's on the shelf?

    Yeah, I do that too. But not at the place I usually buy my DVDs because they only carry OAR! But whenever I'm in another place, I put the wrong versions behind the correct ones.

    Identity dvd 9/2/03

    Yeah, I bought it and wow, great picture and sound! Maybe the bitrate is higher on the WS version... And the sound! I was at 10 under ref. with the sub at 4 under the recommended level to keep the neighbors at bay snd the thunderstorm sounded real.

    Anyone heard the Shania Twain Up! SACD ???

    I found this as I was browsing the "Audiophile" rack at HMV looking for SACDs to test my new Pioneer 563... I listened to the 2c version mostly but the 5.1 version sounds cool for the parts I've listened to. One thing I don't get, is how can they fit 73 minutes of 2c and 5.1c on one layer...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: The Core

    I would have loved having the original version (The one about a cataclysmic event every 600,000 years and that we are 100,000 years overdue) that apparently test screenings hated as an option using seamless branching, but that's ok, no deal breaker. Is the trailer(s) on the DVD? I'm buying...

    Do internet dating sites really work?

    I recently signed up to one of those. There's this girl I started messaging with and almost met. So far my most likely theory is that she already had a boyfriend and likes to play with guy's emotions. Even if she claimed she met him the day before we were supposed to meet when I asked her why...

    NEW LINE-please put out MORTAL KOMBAT: SPECIAL EDITION

    I second that, this is one of the first DVDs I bought and I agree that the transfer sucks on that one. Anamorphic, with DTS would be greatly appreciated. Maybe an Infinifilm with hyperlinks to caps from the game or behind the scenes stuff would be good too. BTW: Today is the film's 8th...

    Insane songs to play on your SVS

    Alisha's Attic - She's a Heroine Gosh! Never mind a fan, a front ported PC Sub with this song playing generates plenty of wind!!! Also from that same album of theirs, When U Coming Home is pretty bassy too! They are not too famous unfortunately and that album (The Attic Vaults 1) is...

    Freaky Friday (2003)

    Saw what I believe is the 76 version a few times when I was a kid. Was it in this film that there was a car chase at one point and a police car hit into the beginning of a concrete wall and split in 2? I wonder if things like that will be kept in the remake... And yes, I rememeber seeing lots...

    I went to see it friday night. (Wanted to see AW saturday after rewatching AP1&2 on DVD) I gave it a 4/15 which is the second lowest mark I've given to a movie since I've started compiling my reviews. 3/15 films include Dreamcatcher, Willard and The Good Thief. A movie I hated "I want my...

    DVD Review HTF Review: What A Girl Wants (Highly Recommended)

    Ah, yeah, I don't think of Anamorphic since I have a 4:3 screen (Which I sit rather close too since it's not filled hehe) But what I meant, is that if a Foolscreen version is available to indicate it in your review so we know if we need to be careful upon purchase.

    Question regarding DVD sound levels

    This is called Channel Aggregation. The track is still in 5.1 and meant to be played in 5.1. That your DVD Player downmixes it to 2.0 for use on a TV involves mixing the front/rear left into the single left channel, the front/rear right into the single right channel and the center get spread...

    DVD Review HTF Review: What A Girl Wants (Highly Recommended)

    I loved this movie and will buy it! I have a thing for british girls so anything involving people going there and jokes about differences between American English vs. English Englihs are a winner to me. About the review, I agree with all that was said before, here's my suggestion (And that...

    11.09.2001 ???

    After reading about Shaolin Soccer's delay, I went to check on http://www.cinemamontreal.com (My source for showtimes where I live) and went in the upcoming movies http://www.cinemamontreal.com/cm/que...ng-movies.html and noticed a movie called "11.09.2001" released on September 11th. I would...

    "Music Clearance Hell" : Time for us to group together :)

    That brings back something that's been bugging me for 3 years now. In the Movie Magnolia (PT Anderson), there are several Aimee Mann songs. I swear I remember hearing each song of the soundtrack in the movie itself in theater. But on DVD, several of them are missing. Was my memory altered...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: The Lizzie McGuire Movie

    I actually enjoyed the film. I like female artists a lot so that is my kind of music, except for the fact that I prefer those who write their own songs but movie caracters are exempt of that rule. So along with Coyote Ugly and Josie And The Pussycats, this may well end up in my collection. It...

    Avril Lavigne free custom covers for her DVD singles

    I haven't seen any ThinPaks in any stores I go to. (I'll check again) but I would prefer normal keepcase covers. Would it be a lot of work for you to resize the spine to fit normal keepcases? I have the Losing Grip/Sk8er Boi DVD Single along with Pink's Family Portrait/Don't Let Me Get Me...
