Living on video

Nothing like a rainy 3-day weekend to get you cozy with the DVD rentals. So cozy, in fact, that you may have depleted your Netflix supply like we did. (We love Netflix. Free delivery, no late fees. Much love). The rain, hail and flooding is expected to continue up until Thursday. What to do? Maybe tap the video/DVD rental spot near you. This is Hollywood, after all, with some of the best movie rental joints in the country. What's your favorite? Rocket Video? Jerry's Video Reruns? India Sweets & Spices for Bollywood galore? Do tell. We promise we won't raid it.
