Movie Truman
Truman with Jim Carrey and Ed Harris.
This was a different kind of movie that had me expecting the slapstick humor of which Jim Carrey built his career, but I was sadly disappointed.
There are few effective comedic actors in the industry and Carrey is one of them. …
Greencine
Greencine is another company that offers dvd rentals by mail just like blockbuster and netflix. They had a free trial a while back but I don’t know if they still do. The main reason I didn’t care for them is because they didn’t have a lot of movie titles …

Strawberry Panic anime
“Strawberry Panic!” is a cute romantic subtle-drama series, featuring lesbian relationships between girls at an exclusive all-female
affiliated schools. While the lesbianisism theme is a bold step to take for anime, I don’t think the series was good enough. It did evoke much
emotion or attention in the viewer, neither through …
