I really wanted to like this book store as it was on the way to a show that my best friend and I…read moredrove across the border to see. Sometimes we like going to porn stores together, just to explore. We figured that it would be a great way to diversify our shopping experience. What was intended to be something fun really put a sour taste in my mouth (no pun intended). From what little my best friend and I did see, there was a slim selection of toys, nothing special but nothing that would be a good generic go to either. I heard that this store had books which I was looking forward to, however, before we got to the section, we were rudely greeted by what I assumed to be the shop owner. I wasn't interested in staying that long and almost made my way out the door due to the really aweful damp and mouldy smell of the place, however, the female elderly clerk initiated eye contact with me. Being socially polite, I greeted her politely in which she rudely asked for our ID's. I understand that for the type of store that it was that ID was required, however, give me a f-ing break. Both my best friend and I look well into our 30's. I had my passport on me, however, wasn't in the mood to fetch the ID in the bottom of my bag since we were on the way out anyway. It was less about the request and more about how she asked. She was rude from the moment we got in. I also felt a weird creepy sense when I walked in which made me also want to bolt before our contact with said lady. The way she was looking at me felt uncomfortable and dirty.

This is a rental store that reminds me of what Videomatica used to be. Not that I was even there…read moreto rent vids - I was there to buy. And it's a barrage of amazing titles new and old. Plus they have DVD, Blu-ray and even laserdisc. Counter gent was an old school movie geek like myself and was super fun to chat movies and the like with. I even headed off to the new sales Videomatica store afterwards and since I bought very little, went back to purchase more including a lessor-seen but reasonably priced Atom Egoyan collection of early films. (They covet the greats!) This store has it all in both rentals and sales - both of which are reasonable. LOVE THIS STORE!!!!!

On-street parking is always available for a quarter, with grocery and liquor store on same block plus quick eats across the street. Browsing with friends is priceless. There is no icebreaker like proposing and then having to defend the potential awesomeness of "Krull" from 1983. Staff are fittingly knowledgeable and casually geek about the films. Price is high. Late charge (over 7 days for regular titles) is just 50¢/day.

One staff remembered that a PS3 accessory *just* got in the day before, which would have gone well with a game I'd selected. Unfortunately, it wasn't compatible with my TV, but the effort was there. Selection can be a little dry (in the PS3 section anyways) which is why they're rated 4 stars instead of 5.

When I moved up here I quickly found that film viewing needn't be hampered. What a great place to rummage around for old films, some wonderful classics from Europe and Asia, old TV shows. I've found old Roy Rogers westerns and noir thrillers, Abbott and Costello features, Charlie Chan mysteries, Rene Clair screwball comedies, as well as the latest releases. For a while I thought this place was going to close, but they are still hanging in after having moved a couple of times. All the help you need from the friendly staff, even to checking to see if something not carried is still available in any format (they even offered to order something for me). One of the treasures of Bellingham. Check it out.

I love looking through all the movies and finding new treasures to watch- often they are older movies and you can not rent older movies locally besides here.

I would rather take the time to drive to his shop than to order from Shaw on Demand. Also he has many videos that Shaw does not carry, like The Gods Must Be Crazy 1 an 2 and the Danish version of the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trilogy. Even if his videos were more expensive that Shaw I would still go there but they are not. The store also has a heart! When my redneck brother had a heart attack and was recovering from surgery I knew that a few seasons of Trailer Park Boys would cheer him up and Joey gave me 3 seasons for a week for just $3! Unheard of in this capitalist world.
