When down at the video store I get bewildered by all those hundreds of titles.
The blurbs on the cases are hopeless (although I've learnt that if it says "In the tradition of..." that's usually a good indicator of a bomb), after all, they're never going to say "Well, this isn't quite the film we
were hoping to make...".
I'd like to see one or more preview stations in the store... you take the case to the console which scans the barcode. This brings up the movie trailer, plus some *independent* reviews - thus easing the onerous task of selecting the night's viewing.
(Possibly baked in some video stores, but I've never seen it)
