Welcome to the Movie Rental Finds blog. Don't know what to rent? Want to pick a good movie for your house guests? We watch, rate, and recommend them.

Rating System

theaterMost of these movies were reviewed at someone’s home. It is our belief that the require­ments for a movie to be con­sid­ered good when seen at home are less than if you went (and paid) to see it in a the­ater. There­fore, our rat­ing sys­tem reflects the value of a movie as a rental. We know there will be crit­ics but we wel­come your feed­back on each movie we review. On a scale of 1 to 5, five being the absolute best, our rat­ing sys­tem is as follows:

5 Marks

  • The movie was out­stand­ing. It is worth full price in a the­ater even if you’ve seen it already. You might even con­sider own­ing it & adding it to your collection.

4 Marks

  • This movie was pretty good. You enjoyed it. While cer­tainly not among the best movies you’ve ever seen, it’s got some­thing going for it like girl on girl action, extra blood & guts, stu­pidly funny, or some­thing else that does it for you. It’s not worth the high the­ater prices but for a movie that you see at home, it’s eas­ily worth the rental fee.

3 Marks

  • The movie was sat­is­fac­tory. It was worth the rental fee but no more. You saw it, it wasn’t ter­ri­ble but it was noth­ing to brag about.

2 Marks

  • This movie was sub par. It was not worth the rental fee but maybe worth the boot­leg in terms of “you get what you pay for”. You saw the movie and the best thing it did for you was kill time.

1 Mark

  • This movie isn’t worth watch­ing. If you started watch­ing it, it isn’t worth fin­ish­ing. One has to won­der why they even made it.
