We watched "The Help" last night. It took two tries on Apple TV, which failed miserably. (If anyone has luck renting movies from Apple, please let us know!) We then were able to track down a redbox which had the film - at the third grocery store we visited, and after registering for a redbox account on our smart phones while driving (the passenger actually did that) and reserving the movie!
It was worth it. I had read the Help before so knew what to expect. It was interesting to see how quickly in a film they have to reveal plot lines that took hundreds of pages to develop. Regardless, it was worth watching and I would certainly recommend.
Additionally, I think we'll take redbox options more seriously they days, incredibly convenient. During this experience however I realized the children born in this generation won't know what it's like to wander through Blockbuster looking at the movie titles and trying to decide which ones to rent. Life is crazy convenient.
we've had that happen through apple tv. now we rent through itunes and then play it through the tv. but, yeah, if you can go out and rent at redbox, its always a better deal :) enjoy it while you can--once kiddoes come along, its not nearly as convienient!
