Movies & More

This place has been here probably before me and is great for new releases. When i was ready i had to apply for a membership which was free. It took only a few minutes. Super fast and convenient.
I gave 4 stars because the children’s movie selection was a bit small. Wish they had more. And im into classic movies and that selection was very small but i thought they are not like a blockbuster or redbox. Most people dont go for that anyways. Therefore i give 4 stars because other that they are excellent

This place has been here for yrs and to mention one of the few places left who offer movies to rent still. Definitely hit this place up weekly for the latest new releases to rent. It’s a plus that this place carries new releases before they even hit stores or redbox. You do have to sign up for a free store membership to join in order to rent. They selection is vast and they always have what I’m looking for. Could use a little updating but what do you want for $ 3 rent a movie place that’s been there since before you were born.

Never give this place money. Ever! Under any circumstances. Why? Because, their friendly front desk staff notwithstanding, there’s about a 50% chance the movies you rent WILL NOT WORK in your player.
Then, when you try to return the non-​working videos to them and get a refund, you are told by the same friendly front-​desk staff that you have to speak to a manager. «Well, may I speak to him?» you ask. ‘He won’t be here for a day or two at pick an outlandish time.” Friendly front-​desk staff have been trained to shuck and jive customers asking for refunds.
I hope this place gets reported to the California Consumer Protection Office. I plan to file a complaint with the Better Busines Bureau and with CA’s CPO tonight after they have ruined my date night. NEVER AGAIN!

I originally left one star but felt it unjust to completely trash the business based solely on the cashier being so terrible. They rent movies, charge steep late fees and that’s it.

Okay, I walked in here the other day because I passed by and couldn’t believe my eyes. It was a video store! But not a dying big box store like the last Blockbuster (all now closed, I believe) or even the hip, surviving LA video store that has all the cool kid stuff but is still grasping to hang on no matter how much you want them to thrive and believe a place like LA would sustain them. No, this is a mom and pop-​ish old school strip mall video store. Wraparound new release wall, randomly stocked older library, tube TVs playing on the wall. I stumbled around asking myself if I had stepped into a time warp. Because, and here’s the crazy thing, I went in the middle of the day in the middle of the week and there was a steady stream of renting customers as though pirate bay was just some place full of buried treasure and rum and Netflix was for crazy technophiles. «Did I… did I just walk into 1998???», I asked myself. Almost immediately I knew it wasn’t 1998, as I began cross checking the movies on the wall that looked interesting that I had never heard of with their availability on Netflix on my crazy Star Trek phone. I just want this place to survive. I wish I was a better customer type, but if hope paid the bills, my hope would keep this alive. It would have kept Odyssey Video alive too, but that place is just sad now… Oh! I almost forgot! There were TWO guys working there at once! Such profits!

One of the last video stores in existence, this place is great. It carries the martial arts movies my family and I like. They also carry T.V. series DVD’s (I was late to the Breaking Bad party and got caught up with the first 4 seasons in a few weeks). This place is cool and they have a deal during the week of 3 movies for $ 7.00.

I love this place!!! Why go to redbox when you can talk to a human, who loves movies and can recommend something good.
Plus it’s right near Sony, I’ve seen more than a few Hollywood types in and out of here.
Cheap, fully stocked! DVD blue ray and games. Check it out, it’s better than redbox and you don’t have to stream from Netflix :)

Came by this place last night in search of some older movies. A video rental store next to a Little Ceasars, behind a real parking LOT? Did my car pull a DeLorean and take me back to the late 80’s? Sweet!
In short, it was really just a pared-​down Blockbuster. I didn’t find what I was looking for, and I wished they offered more hard-​to-​find titles instead of so many new releases and TV, which line the walls and take up a good portion of the center racks. I can easily find new releases and TV on the redbox, and I feel like for these stores to really do well, they should offer something special and hard to find anywhere else.
Didn’t rent anything, so I can’t tell you about the rates or service, but I would come back here again because I support these stores and am happy to see a few still around. Plus, it has convenient PARKING! Definitely a great place to swing by for a quick movie, I just wish they had a broader selection.

LOVE. THIS. PLACE. Honestly, M&M is the only decent video store in the area that has TONS of sweet titles. I really like how they have an «awards» section for movies that… you guessed it: won awards! The employees have almost always been friendly/​helpful and will usually cut you a deal on late fees (if you have any) if they get a little too high.
Another thing I like about renting movies here is that they get movies earlier than every other place I’ve been to. They also repair their dvds and blurays in-​house whenever a customer reports a scratched disc: SUPER COOL (unlike netflix and redbox that have always given me scratched discs: SUPER UNCOOL)
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you rent movies at Movies and More for their great prices, great service, and great selection.

Wow. Tamara A., the speak to the manager that’s never here was something a got repeatedly.
I was cruising the store while waiting for a pizza from Little Ceasers. And what do I spy? I copy of a movie I’ve been looking for my entire adult life in their sale bin. I thought they were awesome. HA.
It was around $ 3 for the vhs, or 3 for $ 5 if my memory serves. (I could be off by a dollar or so.) The employee pressured me to buy three. I politely informed the cashier that there was one tape, and one tape only that I wanted in the bin. He sold me my tape, and off to home I went with pizza and a movie.
I pop the tape in, and what do I see? Static. Lots and lots of static. What do I hear? Distortion. I can SORT OF make out some words.
The next day, I head back to the store to return my tape. «Sorry, no returns on the sale bin.» «But it’s broken.» «You can exchange it for another tape in the bin.» «I don’t want another tape. If you have another copy of this movie fine, but I don’t want another movie. If I had wanted another movie, I would have bought two more when I bought this one.» «You have to pick another tape.» «No I don’t. I’d like to speak to the manager.» «He’s not here.» «When can I come back?»
I got a date and time, and came back then. «He’s not here.» «You told me he’d be here.»
I got ANOTHER date and time that he’d be here. I show up. Surprise surprise, he’s not there. Or so they tell me. Eventually, after playing this game enough, I decided to call before heading down there again, to make sure he’s really there. Ha! I trapped him on the phone. We argued for 10 minutes. Finally, he said, come down to the store, we’ll take the return. He then hung up on me before I could say anything in response.
I go down to the store, and tell the cashier what I was there for. She was very nice, and frankly, I think she was routing for me the whole time, as this particular cashier witnessed most of this debacle. The manager… never stepped out of the back room to meet me, or try to smooth things over.
The impression I left with is that the manager was hoping he could dodge and avoid me enough that I would get tired of fighting, and just give up. He didn’t know who he was dealing with. I’m pretty persistent when I’m getting screwed by someone, because business’s will keep doing it because most people won’t fight for only a couple of bucks.
And I thought it was pretty cowardly, through all of this, he never bothered to meet me. I left this dealing feeling so pushed around and belittled, I almost plastered that parking lot in flyers telling everyone of my experience. Selling broken merchandise and not refunding? It doesn’t get much slimier then that.
