TEWtLTBTH • 4QC-2QQI Renting from small video shops saves cash and opens film doors ■ Several local video stores offer lots of titles and weekly deals perfect for the film buff and their measly budget By Molly Egan lor the Emerald With the introduction in the last 10 years of high-tech, low cost home entertainment equipment, spending the evening in your liv ing room watching videos has be come a big pastime. And a big busi ness. Corporate video giants like Blockbuster and Hollywood Video have erected mammoth video stores with thousands of popular movie titles, an array of video games and even guarantees that the movie you’re looking for will be in stock. But prices are rarely dropped, with the average video price at S3.49, and two-for-one deals are few and far between. Now, that's just fine and dandy if you don’t mind spending a lot of f money on videos and your movie tastes don’t stray from the typical Hollywood fare of “Ten Things 1 Hate About You” and “The Talent ed Mr. Ripley.” However, if you’re looking for a more daring selection of films and good old fashioned prices, locally owned video stores are where it’s at. Consistently voted the best video store in town by Eugene Weekly readers, Flicks & Picks is hands down one of the most popular rental resources in town. Located a few minutes off campus at 2777 Friendly St., Flicks & Picks boasts a massive selection of foreign, com edy and cult classics, as well as a hack stock (off the shelf) of more than 8,000 older titles. Monday and Tuesday are dollar nights (exclud ing new releases,) and as an added bonus, competitors’ two-for-one coupons are always accepted. Flicks & Picks is open daily from 10 a.m. to 11p.m. Closer to the University, Premier Video, on the corner of 19th and Agate Streets, houses an extensive collection of cult films, such as the entire Twin Peaks television series on video. Their back stock selec tion includes more than 2,000 films, and the store is open daily from 1 p.m. until 11 p.m. Down the road at 2475 Hilvard St., Silver Screen Video is another conveniently located, locally owned store. The selection isa’t re markable, but prices are affordable. Older titles cost $2 for five days, and new releases are $3 for two days. Store hours are 10 a.m.4o 10 p.m., seven days a week. Silver Star Video and Tanning, just past the dorms at 1888 Franklin, is worth checking out as well. Another purveyor of dollar days on Monday and Tuesdays, Sil ver Star carries several cult, inde pendent and foreign films, and ad vertises itself as the Bijou Art Cinemas venue with the slogan, “If you missed it at the Bijou, find it at Silver Star.” They’re open every day from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Moviehouses continued from page 12D er time a spoon hit really close to an employee, and it freaked him ‘ out so had he wouldn’t close down the bathrooms anymore.” Krizan said the ghost doesn’t scare him as much as the fact that the old mortuary’s bloodletting ► room, Rin. 107, was later convert ed into a child psychology office. Sunday through Thursday gen eral admission at the Bijou is S4.50, with shows before 6 p.m. just S3. Late shows (usually around 11 p.m.) are $2. Thursday through Saturday, general admis sion is $6 and late shows are S3. Call 686-2458 for information. Another Eugene landmark, the McDonald Theater, has been showing movies since 1925. Locat ed at 1010 Willamette, the McDon ald is now a member of the Regal Cinemas chain and shows main stream Hollywood movies. In spite of this, the terra cotta fa cade and balcony seating help the McDonald retain the glamour of the Roaring ‘20s movie palace. General admission for adults is $4.25 before 6 p.m. and $6.75 after 6 p.m. A student ID will get you through the doors for $5. Call 344 4343 for showtimes and parking information.
