Weekly Update from Video Magic

September 12, 2006

See addresses and hours of our 5 locations.

It's Carol here to let you know what's new at Video Magic.

My family is doing well and I hope yours is too.

The studios have been stingy with the big New Releases lately. But October is going to be filled with wonderful movies to watch. I've listed a few movies below that I think you will enjoy.

If there isn't anything in the New Release section that sparks your interest, why not take this time to introduce your kids or grand kids to some of those GREAT movies from the past? There are thousands of wonderful movies that may have a little age on them but they are still as good as they were when you watched them the first time. I myself have been going back and watching a lot of the older movies that I enjoyed years ago and it is just like watching them for the first time. I recently watched Driving Miss Daisy , Sixteen Candles, Thelma & Louise and
The Bridges Of Madison County.

My hubby Greg has been into the Richard Pryor movies lately. He recommends Silver Streak, The Toy, See No Evil, Hear No Evil & Richard Pryor Live in Concert. All of these are wonderful well made movies that will entertain you for hours. If your kids are like Erica, you will have to threaten them with the loss of some privilege to get them to sit down and watch an "old movie" with you. But trust me, it is worth the effort. They will love it and you will get some great family time out of it!

Family suggestion: Call, email, or IM all the kids and the spouse and tell them to not make any plans for the evening. Go to Video Magic and pickup a great movie you remember from the past and a bag of fresh popcorn. Now stop by the grocery store and get some light bread, peanut butter, and jelly. Now go home and make sandwiches and have a picnic in front of the TV while you watch the movie!

Well I guess I had better go now.

As always I would like to say Thank You for renting your movies and games at Video Magic. Without our loyal customers like you, there would be no Video Magic.

I will be e-mailing you again next week.

Have a wonderful rest of the week.

Your friend at Video Magic,

Carol Salyer

Answer To Trivia

Josh Hartnett and Bruce Willis were both in last year's Sin City for directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller. Despite both appearing in the credits as cast members, the two did not share any screen time.
Hartnett and Willis do show up in front of the camera at the same time for Lucky Number Slevin. Hartnett is the victim of mistaken identity in a war between crime bosses Ben Kingsley and Morgan Freeman. Willis plays an assassin. Catch this crime-thriller on DVD today.
