We have been watching rented movies (blockbuster) every Sat. night for
several years. Usually,action type movies with martial arts. (the whole
family likes them) Most have been ok but this last one called
"Bloodmatch" deserves it's own review: It stunk! This movie wasn't
released,it ESCAPED from HBO. Never before have we actually started
rewinding a tape before the movie was done. This now replaces "Ninja
mission" as the worst movie ever played on my VCR.(in that one,one
ninja shoots the other with a machine gun in the one and only action
scene in the film)

Ken sounds like Saturday night at my place. We've also opted for a few
rentals lots of popcorn and soda. Fridays we go out but Saturdays we
keep Blockbuster in business.
Editorial on Blockbuster - I wish they epuld expand their "Classics"
and run more specials - like discounts for 1 day turn around and stuff
like that - I do appreciate their new $2.50 for new releases for the
first 2 weeks though.
One of the great things about a $3.00 rental - when you rent a looser
like "Bloodmatch" you don't feel so bad cause instead of spending
$14.00 - $15.00 to see it in a theater you only 'lost' $3.00 :^}

| 28.2 | some BB negatives | 29067::K_BOUCHARD | Thu Feb 11 1993 20:21 | 11 | |
One thing about Blockbuster which I don't like at all is the fact that
each and every BB store is really a stand-alone operation with minimal
contact to other BB stores (they probably have *some* since they seem
to have a network) Every BB seems to have it's own choice of movies,
(you'd think they would at least have some sort of standard selection)
it's own store layout (general movie topics are in different spots in
different stores) and renting from one store when your card was gotten
from another is a real hassle. But despite the drawbacks,like you said
it only cost $3 to find out "Bloodmatch" is a terrible movie. Not bad!

Last Saturday night we rented "At Play in the Field of the Lords." Near
the end of the second tape, the VCR tape ate the tape. The store was
kind enough not to charge us for the damage, but they did not have
another copy, and the owner and none of our friends could tell us how
it ended... Could someone please tell us how it ended? There was
approximately 15 minutes left when the VCR ate it.
Thanks!
