The owner was incredibly knowledgeable and helped me pick out the perfect gifts for my husband. He was very kind and I look forward to coming back often to support this wonderful local business!

I thought I had seen a lot of movies... then I met Darrell, who is everything you hope a shop owner to be: honest, enthusiastic, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. He never talks down to you, and his passion is infectious. He encourages you to try out any disc before you buy it. On top of that, his prices are super reasonable, especially if you factor in what it would cost in taxes and shipping from a foreign Amazon site and YesAsia. I need to pace my visits, because each time I go I spend hours talking movies with Darrell and always end up buying something. But his selection grows by the week so I have to stay updated, right? So far I've picked up UK Masters of Cinema editions of Fritz Lang's "Spies," Pasolini's "Accattone," and Lubitsch's "Madame Dubarry." Are you still reading this? Head over there already!

I bought my first Money Gram today after a botched effort to send cash via western union from Von's in Pasadena. The machine was down. What's new from this overpriced creepy supermarket? "Do you know of anywhere else" says I to the manager. (insert silence) I'm winging it. Orange Grove is a street where I seem to remember a 7-11 being. Bingo! For some reason the pretty Latin girl at the register is helpful and sympathetic as she goes out of her way to help us out. We are given directions to Pepe's with warm smiles sent our way and we are off with gratitude. I park on the street and find myself in a crowded colorful video rental store. Latin flags are everywhere. Movies, cell phones, phone cards, check cashing and bill paying services are all available and sold by bilingual staff. These guys feel me when I send my cash to Guatemala via money gram. (On sale today only $5 for every fifty sent!) My eyes are met with total and unconditional support when I say one word: "Refugees." I didn't need to say anything else. I learn that the cashier's sister is in Africa teaching and that his extra cash makes it's way to her. His sister is beautiful like the children standing next to her in the photograph that she is trying to save. It's easy to take our freedom for granted, to close our eyes to anyone different, to forget that we are in this shit together, we are cut from the same cloth, we breathe the same air and we bleed the same color, no matter where we came from. I am not just part of a country, state or city and neither are you, we are part of the human race and we are not winning this race when so many of us are losing. I bought another day for a family far away from freedom, phone cards for my friends to call me from and stock in my ideals that are not just talk. Pepe's is a place effervescent with compassion and the epitome of tolerance. The definition of tolerance is one that I will never really know and never master but my life will be well spent trying to.

There are plenty of microcinema screenings as always and live events, too. I love the decor in the store! They do buy tapes (VHS only, nothing else) and VCRs and CRTs by appointment.

I went to Whammy analog media for the first time today as a way to surprise my girlfriend of five…read moreyears. We are movie lovers and I had heard great things about the store from friends and decided to give it a look. Upon entering the store, I was mortified by how cold and antisocial the staff was. Not only was a class taking place during my time at Whammy!, but the man behind the cash register was very cold and disinterested, as though patronizing the place was something me and my girlfriend should be ashamed of. Which seems a little bizarre considering I'm pretty sure the store needs real customers to pay real money for their products in order to continue working as a store. Maybe I'm wrong about that, but still. I asked if they do screenings at whammy's store, and the man behind the counter, simply, almost wordlessly, pointed me towards their screening calendar. While I very much enjoyed the goofy selection of VHS tapes offered at the store, as well as their avant-garde vinyl selection, not to mention the off-beat decorations adorning the store, I am really questioning whether I'll ever return to Whammy!. Wish I had a better experience, and am unsure if they even want me to come back. My girlfriend and I tried our best to lift our spirits from what was such a discouraging experience. Perhaps I caught the staff at Whammy! on the wrong day, but for now, I'm going to take a break from Whammy!, though I am still chuckling at the fun VHS tapes I picked up, despite not having a player.

I couldn't find one anywhere or if I did it was extremely expensive, so I was walking down Hollywood Boulevard looking for a different movie poster for a friend and decided to walk into the store. They didn't have the poster I was looking for because it hadn't come out yet but I ended upleaving with a giant French Edward Scissorhands poster at an extremely reasonable price and also a really cool 1950s Disney movie poster with Sal Mineo in it, that I didn't even know I wanted and it's already up and framed in my living room. I love it! I can't recommend this place enough. Incredibly knowledgable and friendly service.

So much important movie memorabilia, this place is a living breathing piece of Hollywood history, 46 years at this location and counting! Are his business hours odd? Yes. So what!

He wasn't like that when I talk to him From my experience when I entered the store, he was just busy looking at the computer. What I did to past the time was browse the games I did saw a couple that I wanted and pick up three of them at the time so when I was ready to pay, I asked the guy if he takes Apple Pay he said yes Then I asked him questions about the Nintendo 64 games for super smash Bros and super Mario 64 he said those are not real. Those are authentic, I told him the games I wanted for transformers, he was about to go to a different section that I didn't found it at so when I realize what he was doing I told him not there and then I showed him where I found it and then yeah so I'm not sure what's up with that Same thing for the 360s and the PlayStation 2 games until I showed them where it was. I guess it might. He has a bad memory of where it is. I'm not sure. I saw more of luck review and if it is true that he is not passion and that depress then yeah you're not wrong. Like what's the whole point of working there if your don't like gaming but when I first saw him and when I asked him the question, he didn't look depressed. He look normal Besides that him repeating for the games and asking if it's yours, that's crazy like one he probably doesn't see the price on the cover or two. He has a very bad memory. But damn, that's crazy way different from my experience when I went there for the first time I guess go on your own risk or don't go For me, the only reason I went here is because I was far away from home and I was gonna go to Ross and I want to look at the area they have any retro games around the area and I saw this location so like why not and headed at that location the price is iffy, but I mean for the games they had the box I can't complain And since he's not passionate for the games, I mean, I don't really care. I just want the games I grew up with and dip Ahh and the only reason I am re-editing my review is because I saw the notification of seeing 266 people from 5 days ago and 139 people seeing my review now witch is the first and never expected anyone reading my review Hope it's help
