More movies for me!

As many of you know, I worked in a movie store for a while in PA before we moved here. I watched a ton of movies during that time, but since we've moved I haven't rented very many. Video stores just seem so expensive, and I never feel like stopping by the one close to us. It's not the same chain that I worked in, but it's still weird to be in video stores in general. I don't know why that is, but it is.

Anyway, the DF and I have been talking about joining Netflix for a couple of months, and I decided to sign us up last week. We're on one of the cheaper plans, only 1 movie out at a time, but we can exchange it as many times as we want and we can download movies from the Internet instantly. There's only two of us; we don't need a million movies here at the same time. Anyway, it's $8.99 a month so if we rent or download more than 2 per month I figure we'll be getting our money's worth. The DF hates going to movie theatres because he feels like he's getting ripped off, so we need to catch up on the past year's new releases to begin with. The first movie we've gotten is "I Love You, Man" and it just came in. We haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Next in our queue are "Into the Wild," "Big Fish," "Evening," and "Role Models." They're pretty much in whatever order I came across them on the site. I haven't bothered rearranging. I'll see them all eventually, I figure. We're both fairly patient people when it comes to movies.

I like that Netflix lets me rate movies I've already seen so that it can give me better suggestions for movies I haven't seen. So far I've rated 187 movies; I just rate them as I see them pop up on the screen. Anyway, you might be getting some more movie reviews, how exciting!!
