Everyone that feels they have ever been overcharged should read this and see how the fact that you get email receipts allowed you to catch the problem immidiately and get it resolved before being charged large sums of money.

new return deadline? Did we lose 2 hrs? The redbox i just returned movies to says "by 7pm" on it.. and it's after 7 now! every other one i've seen says 9pm.. i hope that's a mistake but i think it's a new kiosk. (most sensitive screen i've used, gentle taps, and the motor is quick for returns).

Wow just watched "Shattered" .. very suspenseful! I could not predict what was coming next although i kept trying. I put this movie on thinking i would be able to check email or clean house or something with this playing in the background -- WRONG! .. i shut off my computer and lights in the room, jumped on the couch and and stared at the tv for the next 90 minutes.. this movie kept my attention the entire time and i kept waiting for something scary to happen.. did it? ..well you'll have to see for yourself. I will say, nothing jumps out at you, although i kept expecting to be scared; (the movie and the subtle but very effective soundtrack made it feel that way - but then again i watch more horror flicks than i should, lol).. but if you like suspense i definitely recommend Shattered.

I did the same thing with Highlander the Source, it was at one of the machines were my sister lives so I rented it there and returned it at my local kiosk.

hrm...I thought comments were movie-specific...the above mentioned flick was cloverfield. Thank goodness. It thought there were actual positive reviews of cloverfield.

This movie had potential, but fell far short. After viewing the commentaries, I understood a little more of what they were trying to achieve, but the overall effect was terrible. I could have done with about 20 minutes less of the douchebag party's story, and they could have used that time to introduce the monster a little. And t he ending?!?! I would have liked to see at least a glimpse of how they found the tape. I really couldn't care less about the jerk who got his brother, friend and several others killed in pursuit of a chick he slept with once. This movie was the equivalent of a teen angst video blog on youtube. mildly entertaining, but self involvement grows old very quick.

i thought this was a very very good movie. it kept you guessing all the time. the actors were very good and i really enjoyed it. when i read a little about it, i said to myself this sounds like a keeper and i bought it. i would suggest that you can not go wrong renting this one.

thats the reason redbox only rents the 2d version, because they have no way of supplying the glasses for the 3d, and the high quality 3d tech is called

3D READY

and to use it you need a tv that supports it, and basically its a box that attaches to hidef 1080p televisions that is synced with special shutter glasses that only allow at any given time one eye to see the screen and at that moment only half the screen grid displays which results in full hd 3d, here is a link to the info that explains it better:

Has anyone had a problem with dvdplay??? i had a major problem today.... they will "not" rent me a movie with my credit cards!! Reason given: I have rented too many with promos......... This angers me because I rented for a "long" time before I found out about the "promos". AND, paid $1.58, not $.99. So now they have a nerve telling me I rented too many with a promo code. The rep said, how do you get these promos? So I answered, I get them in my email from dvdplay. They are emailed to me!!! She had no comment. So now, I'm strickly a redbox renter.

Checked out Hannah Montana since it looked like a good guilty pleasure. I might actually buy the Blu-Ray once I have something to play that on. The regular DVD is a 2-disc set but Redbox only gives you the first disc so you don't get the 3-D version which is on the 2nd disc. This wouldn't have been a problem if Disney made it a 2-sided disc instead. The 3-D version probably looks like crap anyways since it uses the primitive red/blue format, supposedly there's a high-quality 3-D home viewing system coming out soon so hopefully they'll reissue this for it.

The Grand - 3/5 - I eventually gave up on viewing this as a "movie" and pretended I was watching a "clip show" and just waited for the funny parts while I did my paperwork, so it wasn't as torturous to me as it was to others.

Redrum - 0/5 - This movie sucked rocks. I don't hate on low budget movies, but I was really disappointed in them for making it and at myself for watching it. In my defense, I mainly chose it because Jill Marie Jones was in it. I have learned my lesson.

The Air I Breathe - 5/5 - I thought this movie was awesome. I'd been waiting to see a movie like this since "Crash." If any of you know of any others, please, share with the rest of the class.

Flawless - 5/5 - This movie was great. Wouldn't suggest it to anyone with a short attention span though. I only watched because I love movies that are based on true stories, but in the end, I was pleased that I was able to finish it.

Cleaner - 5/5 - I chose this movie of course because of Mr. Jackson. (BTW, I thought he looked great in this one.) Maybe I watch toooo many movies, but this one really reminded me of "Out of Time" and "Street Kings," wth is up with that? LOL

An American Crime - 5/5 - I saw the independent film version of this movie (another true story) and I was impressed, but this one I felt was better because it was more factual. Definitely not for the faint of heart. Movie watcher beware. LMAO.

Our Mission

The purpose of www.kids-in-mind.com is to provide parents and other adults with objective and complete information about a film's content so that they can decide, based on their own value system, whether they should watch a movie with or without their kids.

Someone rented Movie A at your redbox and returned it elsewhere. If it is repeated, all Movie A at that redbox is now elsewhere.

Starship troopers was not available at the 3 redboxes near me. I managed to track one down further away and now theres a copy available for people near me after I returned it.

That new Belly movie is not kickass. I like The Game and his music, but this movie is a disgrace to the first Belly. Its like he just decided to make a movie and throw it into the category of 'good rap movies' but its just over an hour long and nothing like Belly....

bank job is a good movie...not sure what you expected but it a fast moving fresh take on a story done a million times. 21 is not bad...but very cheesy and dopey throughout....it is hard to pack that many stereotypes into one movie.
