Movieland

Movieland is right by where I used to live growing up, so I attach a lot of memories with this place and will drop by if I am ever in the area — I remember renting cartoons on VHS tapes (remember those?) when I was 6 or 7. Movieland is your typical rental place — they have a huge assortment of movies and television shows, and I don’t recall ever finding out that a movie or television show I’m interested in is not available at Movieland (though at times they are currently being rented out, but they will call me once it is returned so I can rent it). The service at Movieland is great; there have been times that I have borrowed something to find out that it doesn’t play on my DVD player at home, and when I bring it back to them they test the DVD on the spot with the DVD player there and if it does not work they give me another copy or allow me to pick another rental instead.
I will complain though that the price of renting at Movieland is not cheap; the standard charge is around $ 20 – 30 to be returned within three days, though they do a Tuesday special where charges are slightly cheaper if you are renting on Tuesday. Because of this, the past few times I’ve been there it’s almost always empty or with not more than two or three customers. I guess it’s also because downloading torrents on your computer is so easy nowadays, and is also free, so people don’t bother renting anymore. Movieland sell movie snacks like chips and microwaveable popcorn by the counter too, but they are very overpriced. Overall, I’d definitely recommend checking out Movieland if you live in the area. The selection seriously is huge and new DVD releases are available there almost immediately after they’re out. And If I’m not wrong, they have lower charges if you can return the rental by the following day, so that’s not too bad!
