How long does your library let you keep movies?

[addicted2dvd]

A week at a time... but you can renew them up to 4 times... so that gives up to a month if you really need to. And I can even renew over the net... so don't have to go there to do it.

[Dragonfire]

That's nice.  I think the library here does a week.  Not sure if allowed to renew them or not.  I only got a few from there in the past.  I had trouble finding the ones I was looking for.

Oh, I forgot about that... I thought you might be buying stuff they are getting rid off :slap head:

So, you didn't pay to see Movie 43, which by now you possible agree was a good thing...

Guilt Trip is good...though it wasn't as funny as the trailers made it seem.

Soul Surfer is really good.  And it reinforces my decision to stay out of the ocean.
