New year, new budget

It's always exciting after the end of the year, when the budget is used up, to be free to order lots of movies again!

Sci-Fi fans will be glad to notice we've added the complete Farscape series and follow-up movie, The Peacekeeper War. Also Crusade, the short-lived spinoff of Babylon 5. By request, we may also be getting Earth2.

Anime fans will be glad to know we'll be adding Fairy Tail (Fantasy/comedy/action about a wizard's guild) and Rideback (Action drama, about an ex-ballerina who becomes a mecha-motorcycle rider and gets involved in a revolution) as soon as cataloging gets them into the computer system.

And, of course, we've been adding plenty of high-interest mainstream movies as well, plus foreign films and non-fiction. Check out My Secret Cache, a Japanese comedy about a girl obsessed with money, or the Canadian film, Gunless, a western where American gunfighter The Montana Kid ends up in a small Canadian town where nobody has a decent pistol.

The next Anime Afternoon is planned for April 21--put it on your calendar!
