Kind of mind blowing the complexity of simply renting a video...


I visited Blockbuster yesterday and it felt like forever since I have been. Greg and I do pretty well with seeing new movies quite frequently; however, apparently, we have missed out on a lot.
I rented seven new releases - well I am confident they are fairly new anyway. Blockbuster has changed how movies are rented (AGAIN). You may now rent new releases for $1.99 for 1 day or $4.99 for 5 days. I opted for the one-day rental on all seven. Not that I expected to watch all seven in 24 hours, but I couldn't decide which ones I would watch first.

This decision is important, because in all likelihood we will complete watching them within two days. I am returning the ones I have already watched tonight before the store closes. The ones that don't get returned tonight will be charged another $1.99 which is a savings as long as they are all returned before close of the second day of rental.

The Women - drama, good
Wanted - action, odd, but good
PS I Love You - drama, excellent, I cried 15 minutes into it and continued pretty much throughout. There were moments of laughing, too. These are my FAVORITE kinds of movies.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall - yuck...don't waste your time or $$$

On deck:
Righteous Kill
Eagle Eye
Burn After Reading

Greg is off tomorrow so I am confident the others will be returned by tomorrow.
