The Happening

I’ll start this off with the obvious. M. Night Shyamalan needs to STOP MAKING MOVIES, NOW! He made one really good movie, The Sixth Sense, and ever since then they’ve been getting worse and worse. The Village was at least watchable and still held some sense of surprise until near the end, [...]

Posted on August 28, 2008 - Filed Under DVD, Entertainment, TV | Leave a Comment
Our TV series rentals have been rather dismal over the last year or so, mainly because they’ve been crammed onto a shelf that’s away from the regular rentals. Another problem is that we don’t have the room to spread them out like we used to, so instead of renting them out by the disc [...]

Posted on August 14, 2008 - Filed Under DVD, Entertainment | Leave a Comment
Summer tends to be a little slow when it comes to new DVDs being released, but this one is even worse than usual. On average there’s only 1 ‘big’ name movie coming out a week along with 1 or 2 of the lesser known titles. September will probably be flooded with movies, once the [...]

After helping someone look for yet another movie in the big mess of DVDs on the shelves I decided tonight that it’s time to start sorting them out. I know it’s a somewhat pointless task because they get messed up again pretty quickly, but if I can make myself go through them at least [...]

I can’t get over how much this movie sucked. I had such high hopes for it based on the early trailers and viral marketing internet hype. Guess that should have been a warning sign, but it really did look good. The movie itself though, turned out to be utter crap because of [...]

Posted on June 1, 2008 - Filed Under DVD, Entertainment, Movies | Leave a Comment
What is it with so many movies these days having stupid cliffhanger endings? Even if the purpose in mind is simply to set up a sequel you can still provide an actual ending that provides some answers and some kind of closure.
As a reference take the Friday the 13th movies. You know without [...]
Paying Cash for Games & Movies
Posted on May 2, 2008 - Filed Under Business, DVD, Entertainment, gaming | Leave a Comment
Looks like we’re the only store left in town that pays cash for movies and games. L&S Video was the only other recent one since the pawn shop closed up a couple years ago, and since they’re gone that leaves only us and Movie Gallery. MG only offers store credit though whereas we [...]

Posted on April 9, 2008 - Filed Under DVD, Entertainment, Movies | Leave a Comment
I thought this was a pretty decent horror movie for the most part. Lots of monsters that we actually get to see, despite all the thick mist. Up til the last few minutes anyway, then I was so disappointed with the ending. Don’t read ahead unless you’re like my wife and like [...]

Posted on March 21, 2008 - Filed Under DVD, Movies | Leave a Comment
I was pleasantly surprised by this horror/suspense flick. Usually when a sequel has little to do with the original, and all the cast members are different, it tends to suck major ass. Anyone catch the last 2 movies in the Prophecy series? Yeah, that’s my point exactly.
In White Noise 2, Abe’s family [...]
They charge HOW much??
Posted on March 5, 2008 - Filed Under Business, DVD | Leave a Comment
$44.95. That’s how much some crappy 4 hour compilation bondage adult DVDs go for at the local Sister Sarah’s. Talk about sticker shock! A guy came in tonight to trade in a couple of movies because his wife didn’t agree with his choices (not into bondage I guess) and [...]

Posted on February 13, 2008 - Filed Under Business, DVD, Entertainment, TV | Leave a Comment
For the last several years I’ve taken TV box sets and split them up to rent as individual discs for $2 a night. It worked well for a long time, people could rent a disc or two, depending on how much they could watch in a night or a weekend and then come back [...]

This movie snuck up on me, I hadn’t heard of it before and even though it was just released and starred Christian Slater, William H. Macy and Elisha Cuthbert it was selling for only $14 at Shit-Mart. I picked it up, set it up for rent and since it was still in one night [...]

Posted on January 21, 2008 - Filed Under Business, DVD, Movies | Leave a Comment
Adding over 1000 DVDs to the rental database is a pain, but it should be worth it in the end. First off because everything will be available to rent, most likely for $2 tax included. Second reason being that if everything is in the database and a customer asks whether we have a [...]

New releases on DVD seem to be drying up a little bit, but that’s pretty typical for this time of year. This week only had a few, the most notable being Good Luck Chuck starring Jessica Alba and Dane Cook. Very funny movie with the requisite gross out scene. Mr. Woodcock with [...]
