$1 a Night Movie Rental- Redbox, Moviecube, Blockbuster

I’ve recently discovered Redbox at McDonald’s. Let me tell you, I am in love with the idea. I have always been the type of person that hates renting movies because I walk into Blockbuster or Hollywood Video, peruse the aisles for 30 minutes, and still have a hard time picking a movie I am interested in.
