Love coming here to buy new movies out on Blu-rays or buy posters. Being a big film junkie this…read moreplace is like home. I get to be around people who are into films just like me. I know some come for the music but I like to see this place as film heaven. I get same feeling walking in Comic book store. I do walk in sometimes just to look for new movies I haven't seen or pick up my favourite ones I haven't owned. My favourite genre is Horror and Sci-fi. So I'm always looking at those categories. When I say Sci-fi I don't mean comic book movies, a more grounded Sci-fi (moon, source code, limitless etc) So you know what to get me if you've been dying to find out what movies to get me :) They have offers for Blu-rays 3 for £20 or 5 for £30. Mainly are movies that have been out atleast a year. I like to pick Blu-rays which have more bonus features (Ultra Violet version)

Now, I am a lover of all things Comic booky, board gamey and generally a bit geektastic (if you…read moredidn't already know that). A trip to Forbidden Planet is a pretty rare occasion for me as I know my wallet will be angry at me every time I even begin to look at the dusty shelves filled with pretties... I popped in yesterday for the first time in a while. I got a £10 gift voucher for my birthday and desperately want a copy of "Takenoko" after playing it for the first time at SciFi Weekender in Wales (it's a board game where you have to grow bamboo - much more fun than it sounds). After the distributor telling me that Forbidden Planet could easily order this in for me, I hastily nipped down on my lunch to enquire about this. Now, service has always been mixed at this branch of Forbidden Planet. The staff are very informed about their products, but sometimes it can seem a little Elitist. The gent which served me yesterday was friendly and helpful, but seemed a little put out that I wanted to order something in and wasn't sure he could. Needless to say, I have given them my details - so will have to update the review later if it can be achieved and the transaction completed. The product range in this store is pretty vast. Stocking everything from themed boardgames (they stock "Adventuretime" Monopoly!) to Graphic Novels and various merch (again, a huge range featuring a selection from "Twilight" to "Minecraft"); you will normally find your particular kink catered too. We are lucky to have Nostalgia and Forbidden Planet in quite close proximity. If you can't find what you are looking for in one, you can always pop down and try the other! This place really is an "Aladdin's Cave" of geeky treasures.

A haven for all those grown-up boys and girls who still find pleasure in playing with toys and secretly wish they were superheroes, the store in Birmingham is a little out of the way from the main shopping drag - but that has kept its inherent charm intact. If you fancy checking out the latest comic book issues and memorabilia, this has always been the #1 destination in the city. It's not massive and it feels a bit like a cave in there thanks to the dingy light, but again this helps set the scene for what should be a bit of a secret geek den. The staff are always helpful and clued-in (a must for any place like this, where the customers are sure to come loaded with really specific questions) and, for a pretty small space, there's so much to see and wish you could afford to take home with you that you could spend a good hour in there just having a nose.

This place is a lesson in reinvention, moving with the times to make itself as relevant to today's children as it was to my own childhood. The videos in the shop title may have long gone, but don't despair they've just been taped over with impressive range of DVDs and computer games. I really don't know how they manage to stock so many. It's the cinema-scope of this library that ensures Video Action is always there to entertain a bored kid at half term, or always there to save a rainy weekend. Of course, the ice cream and popcorn on sale mean the adults are secretly eager to visit too. I know I always am. Forget downloading movies or hiring games on-line, this is the way home entertainment was always meant to be! Cut...!
