Hmmm I have heard these theories banged out by the companies time and time again Yes from their point of view the encoding is a way of restricting a films dvd release until its theatrical release has happened but this point of view is one that is introspective. I dont live in the US, I want to see a film on dvd thats not released here so i ship it in and have my player decoded and i am not the only one to do this, just look at the trade on ebay.uk in region one dvd's and who is losing out? the very companies who created encoding. i know they sold the copy originally but resale is big buisness and sort of akin to the "napster" trading the music industry faced and was decimated by. As a sort of side note i'm a big Hitchcock Fan and own almost all on dvd but shipped from Singapore and majority are good quality prints etc these had their theatrical release a long time ago and have been transfered to digital so why the wait in the uk and us. It makes no sense at all especially on older movies
Ah well the joys of living in the uk and being region 2 are finally paying off after us all having to pay for our dvd players to be cracked and made multi region so we can ship our favourite films on dvd across the pond at great expense in region 1 encoding. we have To Kill A Mockingbird on release here and also Cold Comfort Farm,not to mention Mulan, and The Sting (oh i am so enjoyng this after years of feeling the second rate consumer) and if your really desperate you can get a vcd version of raiders to keep you going until it gets released. The whole region encoding thing sucks and should be scrapped it makes no sense.
I am sorry have i read this right you rate "The Others" as highly as sixth sense and even call it a good movie. Your having a laugh arent you? NO? well shame on you then, everyone that came out of sixth sense thought oh i wish i could think a story up like that.and they tried in five seconds to come up with one and guess what? Oh I know what if they are all.... Boring and dreadful hammy performances to go with it Nicole Kidman does a bad impression of lady macbeth and in one of her first speeches list all the problems we have believing this piece. The daylight, the kids, the place, her husband.apart from a few comedy horror kids "the sixth sense" is much more complex and well thought out.
"The Hours" is generally a good movie with references to Virginia Woolf and her novel Mrs Dalloway and how the novel could affect and influence peoples actions and emotions. The public face and the private face and how we deal with both. with good perfomances from Ed Harris, Julieanne Moore and (though i never thought i would say this after her "Lady Macbeth" in "The Others") Nicole Kidman as Virginia Woolf etc. the movement back and forward through time is not only clear but really holds your attention and lets the films images haunt you. there are a few tricks that we have seen before in different guises but overall its a good film... until you get meryl streep's performance which is pretty lazy and flaccid, The way the piece interweaves sections this could be the make or break of the whole film. The rest of the cast work hard but with the complex nature of the film Ms Streep's performance could be its sticking point.
