February 29th, 2008 · 3 Comments · a day in the life, random, techno geeks

It all started February 7, 2008. That was the first night we rented from redbox. We’d heard good things, but hadn’t tried ourselves. You would think, being the technology geeks that we are, that we would have tried before then. Well, at any rate – now we are hooked.

We’ve been averaging one movie every 2-3 days. Here is a list of the movies we’ve rented from redbox so far, and our opinions of each:

The Invisible (PG-13): The preview looked pretty good, but the movie was a bit disappointing.
Next (PG-13): Neither of us are huge Nicholas Cage fans, but we loved this movie. There are so many twists – it keeps you on your feet.
Spiderman 3 (PG-13): Naturally. It wasn’t my favorite of the Spiderman series – but still a must see.
Deck the Halls (PG): Funny. More crude/potty humor than I expected though. Not high on the must see list IMO.
No Reservations (PG): Loved it! It was a chick flick though.
Sydney White (PG-13): Cute movie. Funny spoofs on the fairytale. Worth seeing.
Mr. Bean’s Holiday (G): Also very funny. Mr. Bean is classic. Dave and I both really liked it.
Daddy Day Camp (PG): Kinda cute. A bit cheesy though – humor was childish. Not our favorite, but a good movie to watch with the whole family.
Balls of Fury (PG-13): Comedy/Action sort of film. Some really funny moments. Dave loves Christopher Walken.

    We’ve been renting from Redbox since the beginning….I actually have the No Reservations Redbox movie waiting for me on the DVD player right now. 🙂

    Just a little advice from a RB veteran, watch out for kid flicks and movies that have been out for more than a month…these usually have an insanely high amount of scratches, rendering them unwatchable.

    And, if you do ever get one that is unwatchable, call the number on the case and they will give you a code so that your next one is free.

    Oh yeah, and enter your email address because sometimes they send you codes for free rentals.
