On the plus side, I do like the boutique-chic idea of a small business, novelty movie store in the land of Blockbusters. Great selection of foreign, arthouse, classic and current release mainstream films. On the con side, movies are alphabetized by director, so if you are looking for a movie and don't know the director's last name... well, good luck in your search. The staff varies from being completely disinterested to mildly helpful, but they def. don't go out of their way to make renting a vid. easy. Also, it's hard to get used to the 36 hour rental with the all of the online movie rental options or cable on demand. The late fees add up fast. In theory I'd like to see the place make it - but I think they're going to have to become a little more user-friendly. Check it out once and then see what you think.
Pros: selection, charm of independent run business
Cons: movie arrangement (hard to find what you want), service varies dep. on person
