I don’t know what it is about the film or why I like it so much, but I have seen The Truman Show no less than 10 times and that number could be higher. It is just one of those comforting films that I could watch any time. When I was a kid, before this [ READ MORE ]

However, the movie itself has several problems. Doesn’t it make perfect sense for a [ READ MORE ]
