Pretty decent release the video is not as good as thier previous releases

On this one it looks a little dark and grainy but the sound is pretty nice

7.5/8/-- I have no interest in this movie what so ever

man, and i was worried there would be no groups releasing good TS' for the summer. sample looks great.

good to see groups on the rebound.

sample pretty good

maybe a slight lack of colour but all in all ok

video and audio are great. videocd is kicking ass these days.

8/8/?

this looks like a nice enough release, usual quality from VideoCD, nice audio. Been waiting to see this movie, 'cause it just looks weird from the trailers, will update post when the movie is finished

from sample & about 1/2 of CD1
8/8/ ....

I saw this movie in the theaters on the weekend, I thought it was going to be a very stupid film, but it was actually decent.

Once again VideoCD whooops some more ass, by releasing this fine Telesync, great job guys, keep up the good work.

8/8/7

I hope y'all understand why some of these newer rlz's are so good - the technologies being used for quality digital CAM recording are getting better by the day.

Sorta like the industry shooting themselves in the foot.

cool

cool movie 7/6/7

She should have got shot in the begining

9/7/7

Another beaut' from VideoCD .. seems everything is going on
rewritables while waiting for their releases anymore.

A tiny bit blotchy and kinda greenish on the really dark scenes but
what can you expect.

A best prolly 'til we get a screener or DVD copy.

Sample looks good. Videocd still on a roll. Don't think I'll get this one though, not my cup of tea.

Wonder what frame from another release they'll have tagged onto the end of this one?

Not a great as garfield but great non the less

8/8/5

Very good release, not quite as good as Garfield though. The colors of sort of messed up, but it doesn't take away from the movie.

8/9/?

watched sample....

looks pretty good but dark scenes are dark green as others have mentioned which is kinda annoying. very sharp for a TS and motion blur is minimal for a TS.

8.5/9/x



ever since i reformatted every sample i view is very smushed inward and not widescreen at all. can anyone do me a favor and tell me what codec i need to fix this (or whatever i need)? thanks.

Great Release VideoCD I Really Enjoyed It, Keep Up The Great Work , Now Get Chronicles Of Riddick Out Please

Video: 8

Audio: 8

I'm not impressed. They do good work. But I've seen Videocd do much better. Even Garfield was better quality excluding the guy that walk through the bottom of the pic. But I'm sure they are holding out for the SVCD Telesync of Riddick. Overall this is the best out for Stepford Wives and I'm sure no one will surpass it until a Telecine is dropped.

come on cd2 is way too dark whats going on videocd ya better than this dudes!

7/7/7

This is a very nice copy but I noticed there is a part missing. Small but it lets you know the husband was having an affair with the secretary early on.

At the begining when Nicole is saying goodbye to the staff after being fired. Her secretary is brown nosing about it being unfair and the elevator opens with her husband there and both women say, darling, or something to that effect at the same time, tipping off the wife. She yells at him and then goes into the elevator and screams. They cut it off after the secretary says it was unfair and just show Nicole walking into the elevator and then screams.

if you didnt type like a 12 year old and talk about sucking a groups dick, mayby that would be more apparent.

Watched the whole movie last nite on my standalone, Thought it was pretty good, slow startin but after about 30 mins starts gettin interestin,few funny bits in it.
As for the quality of it, as said before not one of videocd's best, green tint in the dark scenes, bit blurry, overall a pretty average TS.

Vid.7
Aud.10 (cant fault it)
Mov. 7

Definitely the best rls of this movie by far... but that aint saying much.. I really didn't know what to think of this movie.. Honestly i only wanted it cuz i'm a Nicole Kidman fan, but the movie turned out to be suprisingly funny actually Anywayz...about the quality.. Not as good as Garfield on the pic, but thats a bright cartoon.. Pic is a lil washed and colors muted a bit.. Sound is spot on throughout...Easily watchable.. VideoCD once again the only one doing quality SVCD TS.. I hope they don't quit or the scene will be hurtin.... Enjoy this suprisingly funny film


7.5/8.5/7.5

I must be fussier than alot of people, because I wouldn't rate the video quality of this one more than a 6. Maybe even a 5 if I wasn't in a good mood.

great release - didn't care much for the movie tho.

VideoCD is a godsend.

2 versions

I just looked at some comments and they state that there are 2 versions of the movie on the net. The one released at the preview and in the theaters, they state the movie is diferent in many ways and the plot changes as well. Which on is this?

Watched the movie on my big screen as I do all releases.
As mentioned before, Audio is outstanding.
Picture is dark and green tinted as mentioned, can't really say for sure, but comparing to other VideoCD releases, movie must have been very dark ( kind of like Daredevil ).

Movie was only so so...having seen the original, this was not a worthy remake. Fill a remake with a cast of high profile stars and hope nobody notices it's really not that good of a movie.

Audio 9.5
Video 6
Movie 5

Quality was ok..movie sucked

6/7/2

not very good. just finished watching this, lots of scenes missing. i counted atleast 3 times where the scene just cuts off and it skips ahead, not sure how far but definatley skips ahead. the video isnt that great, very green and dark. sound is perfect though, i'd wait for a better *complete* release if you really want to see the movie. i wonder when these guys are going to start releasing full movies, this shit is annoying...

7/10/7

Wasnt as impressed as most it seems 6/8/2

*** Spoilers Ahead *** FULL REVIEW

ok, so I've been busy the past couple of days ... I'm sorry, but here is my full review.

The movie starts out with French credits, so you know this is going to be a good silver ... they always are, but also good news is there isn't any annoying French Subs in the movie either, like their have been in like Taking Lives, and movies like that. Starts out with Retro looking video, the colors flicker every now and again, but during her speech in the very beginning the flickering becomes more and more annoying. Now after that, it either went away, or I just got used to it, because it wasn't really noticable after that, much anyways. Decent bitrate, dark movie ... hard to encode. CD2 is definately more dark, more action and has the most "plot" of the movie ... and CD1 is light and pretty boring, why does it always work out that way.

The entire movie has a greenish tint to it, more noticable in the darker parts of the movie. It has a great cast, a pretty big one ... Glenn Close, Nicole Kidman, Matthew Broderick, Christopher Walken, the lady from The View ... a bunch of Cameo's ... it makes the movie. I don't know what I was expecting, but when Nicole Kidman knocked off Walken's head, that was unexpected to say the least. Glenn Close really does play an awesome crazy bitch. Great acting in this movie ... just weird, not sure if I liked it, or not ... as a whole I mean, there are good parts, and retarded parts, just like any movie. I guess, the ending was pretty good, with all the guys having to do the shopping and all, so I guess I would have to give the movie about a 7. Kept me entertained.

Video = 7 (would have been better without the color flickers and the greenish-tint)
Audio = 9 (no flaws really, nice bass, kinda corny soundtrack ... )

all-in-all the best release out, as mentioned by almost all ... will definately hold over until the DVD-R, or SVCD whichever people prefer. And to all those people who bitch in the forum, GROW UP, I don't care how old you are, and what past releases have been nuked, just review the release, and stick to that. If you got issues, use the PM feature of the forum, it works wonders. kthx

Not bad. Not as good as some of the other VideoCD releases, but all-in-all pretty good.

7/8/5

I downloaded the movie and can't get it to play in any type of media players.

Gspot couldn't even render it, except to show that it was a mpeg.

SVC check says no file to any of them, but has a checksum. The files themselves show that they are good and a checksum. Go figure!

Where are you guys downloading from? I got this one from IRC.

Can't get it to work either, got it off BT

Video - 7
Audio - 7
Movie - 6

Well finally got around to watching this and there's quite a few dark parts where it's hard to see what's happening until the scene brightens, but overall nice quality.
Audio through my headphones seems to have an underlying 'hum' but it's not noticeable on the standalone.
As for the movie itself, I found it mildly amusing in parts, patronising overall (which is it's intent) and unfulfilling on the whole. Glad I didn't waste £15 at the flea-pit for it.

Test screenings realise??

Does this one also have all the deleted scenes and alternate ending as the first cam realise that were filmed during test screenings? All I can find is the theaterical realise that is just 90 minutes long. Please answer!
