Blockbuster Video

Jolt Review (by Jolie): No one can beat the selection at Blockbuster! Not only does Blockbuster get all the new movies first but it stocks many copies so you don't have to worry about someone beating you to the last copy of "The Talented Mr. Ripley". Obtaining a card is tricky, as Blockbuster chains usually ask for several forms of ID plus sometimes a bill and even a deposit. The trek all the way from Brown is even more annoying when you have to return a movie before noon (as if anyone is actually awake and not in class). As far as coinage goes, you pay a tad more at Blockbuster for the increased selection. Always a safe bet, but probably not the first choice.
