Delaware Shouts Out GreenCine
We greatly appreciate the GreenCine shout-out from all the way in Delaware, the News-Journal to be precise. (Thanks to Tom Vincent, too!)
Excerpt:
The last time Vincent went to the movies it was for the final installment of the "Star Wars" series.
He says he went at a time when he thought the fewest number of people would be there. When he walked in, he was alone.
But not for long.
A couple soon arrived, sat right behind him and talked throughout the film.
"I just got tired of it," he says.
So he joined the DVD rental service GreenCine.com, deciding against Blockbuster and Netflix. (Blockbuster does not carry unrated films and Netflix has a system in place where heavy users of the service get some of their films slower than casual users.)
GreenCine.com specializes in independent and foreign cinema and that's where Vincent now gets his films. He also downloads films from iTunes and rips video from YouTube onto his computer using an application called iTube.

Contest! Number 23
GreenCine has teamed up w/ the new Jim Carrey movie The Number 23 to give you 23 chances to win! All you have to do is “Crack The Code�: Read the synopsis below and then pick out the sentence within. (Hint: Count every 23rd word and we bet you’ll get it! Good Luck!)
The Number 23, directed by Joel Schumacher, starring Jim Carrey and Virginia Madsen, is in theaters on 2/23 and is a must see. This dark psychological thriller stars Jim Carrey as a man whose life unravels after he and his wife come into contact with the obscure book titled "The Number 23." As he reads the book, he becomes increasingly convinced that his life is based on the number 23 - and that the book is actually based on his life. He becomes obsessed and consumed with the book and the number 23 and begins to realize the book forecasts far graver consequences for his life than he could have imagined. This film is based on the "23 Enigma" - the belief that all incidents and events are connected to the number 23. The Number 23 - in theaters on 2/23!
23 lucky winners will receive an iTunes $10 gift card!
Deadline to enter: March 9.
