The Movie Fan


After stepping foot in the Movie Fan, I could not believe how many movies there were to pick from. I feel like the collection there was much more vast than the ones I have seen at the Blockbuster by my house. Blockbuster is really the only other movie rental place I have been to so I’m just going to compare Movie Fan to that. I also liked that Movie Fan had VHS and DVD’s to choose from. I thought it was also cool that they had the actual DVD covers/cases instead of the generic case with the name of the place you are renting from. At first I wasn’t sure if they would have recent releases because it seems like it’s a smaller run business and I don’t really know how all of that stuff works but I feel like they would be at a disadvantage when it comes to getting brand new releases.
I also liked Movie Fan better than Blockbuster because it seemed more like a placed owned by movie fans (makes sense) and they actually care about their jobs. The place just had a cool vibe and had an overwhelming selection of movies. I feel like I went back in time because of seeing all of the VHS movies. Even though it wasn’t that long ago that VHS’s were the main way to watch movies, it just reminded me of being a kid again. They also had a ton of candy and snacks to choose from. The place also smelled like pizza and I was very hungry.  I think the guy at the counter was having pizza for lunch. Pretty much the whole time we were in there I was thinking about eating some pizza. The pizza at Tri is not good and I haven’t had good pizza in a long long time.
Movie Fan is a cool place and I am glad that I went there and gave it a look. I think it’s a much better place to rent from Blockbuster and could just spend hours looking at the different DVD/VHS covers.

  4. When I went there the guy was also eating pizza but, my friends thought the pizza smell was coming from nextdoor at the red bird pizza, even though clearly it was coming from the guy working there who was eating pizza
