The movie fan


I have been to blockbuster only a few times in my life.  It was what expected from a video store; loads of movies I’ve never seen.  But due to economic reasons I guess, blockbuster is no longer in my area.  For homework I was asked to go to The Movie Fan which is a locally owned video store.   I wasn’t really excited about this simply since I’m a frequent Netflix user.  To me, Netflix is convenient and not that expensive.  Since it was required, I took the adventure of a lifetime to the video store.  I didn’t really know what to expect since it was locally owned and not a big enterprise store.  While looking outside the video store looked old and boring.  My initial thought was this video store would suck and it wouldn’t have any movies I would want. When I first walked in, it had a rustic feel.  I was right by thinking it was old, but it was a welcoming atmosphere.  When I walked in, I was bombarded with films old and new.  I initially didn’t know what movie I wanted to rent so I went with a classic that I know I would like.  I asked the employee if they had Lion King 2 and he replied “no, someone stole our copy.”  This tainted my already bad view of the video rental place because they didn’t have the movie that every video store SHOULD carry.  I didn’t let this minor setback stop me from finding a movie, so I attempted to find a new movie.  I walked through the store for about five minutes until I find the “New Releases” section.  I was so excited because they had Puss In Boot.  After I found this movie I went to the checkout counter and was ready to leave.  The employee was very nice and informal.  He explained the rental process and gave me my movies.

  1. Now, to be fair, it was stolen...but with over 12,000 other titles I'm happy to hear you found something worth watching.
