Some thing a little bit different.
The Radio wasn't the first thing that I thought that would kick start my holiday, but seeing has I had just woken up I didn't see anything else that could entertain me. I managed to catch an intriguing discussion on a Radio station called Lbc. I was interested and engaged by the discussions on the show, that included sport and movie topics and even the latest up and coming authors. The presenter (Steve Allen) had different guests on his show, varying from music artists to film directors. I got the impression that this show was popular, as the guest he had on was a highly renowned director in movie circles. The shows discussed hot current affairs, this appealed to me as not only could I phone in and give my opinion but I could also gather a feel of what the general public were thinking. The show was targeted at mainly Professionals, however this could also relate to younger viewers. Even though It wasn't visual I was still entertained as well as providing appealing advertisements. It was interesting to see the general presentation of the programme seeing as it only lasted 50 minutes long. As well as that it was sufficent as background noise for people that were either getting ready to go out or just relaxing.
Internet
The second week provided minimal attraction in terms of Television and Radio, however I stumbled across an interesting television series that someone has posted on the internet. I saw that it was award winning, I thought why not give it a go? Dead Set, the title appealed to me as it was one of my favourite genres, yes! (Horror). Its flashing images and pacy camera angles was enough to give any film credit. The film was based around 12 people that took part in a real-life game show called big brother. As the weeks went by we saw a carnivorous virus find it's way and spread throughout the UK, leaving the house mates stranded in the big brother house without food or water. .It certainly wasn't a film a that I would recommend to the faint hearted. I quite enjoyed the ideology behind the film, as none of the characters never fulfilled their house mate experience, it made me question life after death and possibly society as a union.
Film
Now personally I don't watch films, but this was awesome. Lady In The Water is a Mystery/ Horror/ Thriller story which was quite a find, but was far short of poor. A film written by Night Shylaman was sure to produce good results. The film was based around a live-in caretaker of an apartment block whose family dies. He stumbles across a "Woman", who turns out to be a mermaid who has come to "the world of man" to bring inspiration to someone in the complex. Her life is in danger from a vicious, wolf-like, mystical creature that tries to keep her from returning to her watery "blue world." The film has incredible music, which varies from upbeat tunes to operatic music. The mystery and suspense of the film really captivated me and if you hadn't of previously read the book by the talented author mentioned, then this movie experience could have been taken straight off the page! I recommend this to anybody who loves to have their mind puzzled, stimulated and wowed! T add this screen adaptation was rated 5 stars by several Film Critics. It was obvious to see why this film was Oscar nominated. How could I have not known about it!?!

Film Synopsis
A Coens Brothers adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy classic
for a Hollywood film however it was funded by miramax
Production
The film budget came up to $25million slightly lowin association with paramount vantage so it is considered a mainstream film.
The main production companies are Miramax and Paramount Vantage have produced several successful films such has "13, Capitalism: A love Story, There will be blood, Into the Wild and several more.
Distribution
The main Theatrical Distributional companies were Paramount, Foreign United International Pictures, Universal Pictures International, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International, Prooptiki Romania, Paramount Pictures International, Paramount Vantage, B and H, Forumcinemas, Karantanija, Lusomundo , who distributed the film to 6 countries( Brazil, USA, UK, Estonia, Australia, Philippines), It managed to produce more money in the United Kingdom than its home country. A difference of 30,850 dollars. The home distributional company was Miramax Home Entertainment they managed to distribute in to mainly westernized Countries, Uk and the USA receiving the most because of Interactive television servicesy (Sky).
Exhibition
The box office takings for No Country Old men managed to bring a Staggering $162,113,329 Dollars world wide, beating the Worldwide average by 62 million, an incredible amount. I would expect this film to be shown in Romford Vue has it exceeded box office takings which proves itself worthy for a Local UK Cinema. There are several different method of home exhibition for the Film, such has DVD, Video, Blu Ray. The most popular being Interactive Television service which provides you with Near On demand, so you cant exactly choose when you want to view the film, but you can enjoy good movies in the comfort of your own home, without moving.
Horizontal and Vertical Integration
The film is a vertical integration of Paramount, this is proven by paramount taking charge of most of the Distributional companies, and Paramount Provided most of the Funds for the Film, meaning Miramax being Subsidary of Paramount. The signs between Paramount and the Distributing companies proving to be horizontally integration is unlikely has most of the distributing companies were subsidiaries of Paramount. Overall the Film was a mixture of Both Horizontal and vertical Integration.
