Yelp.com Review - by Thea G.

5.0 of 5 stars. They have a selection of movies that I can't even find in Blockbuster, nor do they have it on Netflix. This store is small, yet you're able to get what you're looking for. Oh, and I love that…

Yelp.com Review - by Manny F.

4.0 of 5 stars. This is a friendly neighborhood video place like there used to be before the Blockbuster type mega chains took over. Four star is better than Blockbuster in every way.

5.0 of 5 stars. 4-Star is a MUST when walking down Cortland Ave. with the family. My kid LOVES the place, it has all the Pokemon, Digimon and Star Wars movies that keeps my kid coming back again and again and again.…

Yelp.com Review - by Cait Z.

5.0 of 5 stars. Pretty much the rockinest video store ever! Places like this are the reason I refuse to have Netflix. I want my $$ to go to a place owned by film fanatics, staffed by film fanatics for film fanatics.…

Yelp.com Review - by Monkey S.

5.0 of 5 stars. $1 Wednesday's? Prepaid packages that make movie rentals $2.50? $.50 back for returning your film early? I just broke up with Netflix and my conscience is feeling much, much better.

Yelp.com Review - by christoph s.

5.0 of 5 stars. I still see my movies the 1990's way, I rent them at a store. A movie has to be damn good for me to see it in a theater for $10, and quite frankly there's just not that many great movies these days.…
