Our storage space for DVDs is limited, so this is a big convenience. ;) Have a great weekend! My mom likes Blockbuster, too.

The rest of their service works just like Netflix - rent online, have them mailed out and return by mail. Daughter is hot for me to do it as she checked out their anime' selection and found a lot of titles that not available in-store. We rent a LOT of movies - LOL! Yes, we saw The Departed, and it was good. We've "forced" all of our kids to watch what we consider "classics" because there are so many references to well-known movies that they don't "get" unless they've seen them! Now my daughter knows why a phone company commercial says, "You don't give another man's woman a foot massage, and you don't put her in your fave five" They also understand a lot of references made in The Simpsons to classic movie quotes or moments. LOL! Hope you have a wonderful day!

That hit some deep emotional chords in me. I don't regret watching it, though, because it had a satisfactory ending. Okay, I'll definitely post my review of The Departed. :) Hide and Seek was a good movie (maybe I’ll review that one, too), but I have to warn you about the suicide theme.

I plan on watching it, but don't have a lot of time for movies these days. The Departed? I'm not sure if I've heard of this or not. I look forward to your review. :D I missed Hide and Seek too, Deborah. I plan on watching it, but don’t have a lot of time for movies these days.

It's actually based on an asian movie called Infernal Affairs, which I haven't seen but is on my list. The Departed was awesome!

I finally figured out how to use it. I'd recommend taking some time and add any movies that you think you might want to see to your queue. I have about 40. When it's time to get a new movie, just select whatever you are in the mood for and move it to the top of your queue. You can finally see all of those awesome japanese horror movies that Blockbuster doesn't carry, lol. Netflix is awesome. I finally figured out how to use it.
