taking a break from Blockbuster for a while
Well, we were enrolled in our Blockbuster's All Access Movie Pass where for a flat fee you get 2 movies, exchange them for 2 more, etc... For the price of a single rental, this was an excellent deal and that's why we watch so many movies. The problem is, you get kind of burnt out on movies! When I caught myself getting Space Camp (great movie, by the way! And the girls loved it too) I knew I was to the burnt out stage. So we decided to save our money and take a break until the weather gets cold and we don't have anything to do but watch movies! Plus, we enjoy watching the olympics so that will occupy us for the next week or so. Our last rentals yesterday were Starship Troopers 3 and Nim's Island. Mike says Starship Troopers 3 is the best one yet (not that that tells you much, if you ask Jo!!). Nim's Island was very cute and the girls loved the animals in it. It was a nice family movie.
