Musings of an Idiot

DVD Rental Update FIVE

I was afraid to walk into 2 of my favorite video stores because of the fear that I wouldn't find FIVE there at all. And there is a reason for that fear as well - 'Memories' was hardly stocked by any video stores besides the ones that supported independent NZ films.

So I mustered up enough courage and checked out both the stores and was pleasantly surprised that both of them had stocked FIVE. First up was Video Ezy in Ponsonby and the photograph below shows only half the rack - the other half of the rack had another 4 copies of the movie. When I asked the owner if I had the permission to take this photograph, he asked me the reason and I told him that I had made the movie and wanted to share it with friends. His response caught me completely off-guard, he said that he had watched the movie and had enjoyed it thoroughly and hence the copies in the store. :-)


Next up was the video store from where I get almost 95% of my rental DVD's - Civic Video in Glenfield. I was nervous because they never stocked 'Memories' and they haven't really supported NZ cinema that much, so it was relief seeing a couple of copies of the movie there. Note in the photograph below that one of the copies has already been rented out and that's not by me either :-)


So yeah I am happy that atleast this movie has been better received than 'Memories' {which incidentally a lot of people still like because of it's scope and ambition}

Here is the opening scene of FIVE posted on youtube to convince anyone reading this to hire out the movie
