I don’t think anyone could say that they didn’t see this coming. Blockbuster Canada is closing up 146 stores. Over the past few years, I have been hitting the rental shops up less and less. The only times I go to Blockbuster or Rogers (most of the small rental shops have already closed) has been to purchase a previously viewed disc or if my kid wants to watch some kids movie that is not on Netflix. I really do feel that while streaming services such as Netflix and the new Red Boxes haven’t helped Blockbuster to be a viable business it is the prices and the slowly shrinking selection that have kept me from really renting DVDs or Blu-Rays. When I can go to Walmart and buy a movie for just over the cost of a rental there is very little reason to rent that movie. Instead of trying to lower prices to make renting a more viable option they have kept their prices high. Why would I ever buy a Blu-Ray or DVD from them when they charge twice as much as everywhere else? Even the previously viewed movies aren’t really that much cheaper than buying a disc at the big box stores.
The biggest downside of this story for me is losing the ability to browse DVDs in the older sections. I have found lots of cool movies that I would never have thought of renting before going in to the store but even that isn’t too big of a loss anymore with past selections shrinking and the growing reliance on new releases.
Here is the list of closing stores across Canada. I’ll be checking out the store today to see what the closing out deals are like. While I’m doing that I’ll be mourning the loss of rental shops.

Running time: 59 min
(4/5)There is really something to be said for movies that know what they want to achieve and that they don’t need to be everything for everyone. Rammbock is a cool entry in the zombie genre. Unlike many zombie films out there that try to show some aspect of society Rammbock smartly chooses to simply tell a good straight forward story with some fun twists that elevate it above majority of zombie films.
Michael (Michael Fuith) comes to Berlin to seek out his ex-girlfriend Gabi. When he arrives at her apartment he sees a large man who appears to be doing some repairs. When he goes to introduce himself he is attacked. After surviving the attack he ends up being locked in Gabi’s apartment. Over the next 50 or so minutes Michael and the other members of the apartment fight for their survival. Everything is now in place for the standard zombie movie but I will strongly say that Rammbock stands out amongst it peers.
One of the biggest differences when compared to other films such as [REC] is that even though everyone is located in the same apartment complex they are separated for a good part of the movie by the zombies and the design of the building. Much of the short running time is spent trying to connect with the neighbors and also with Michael dealing with having lost Gabi now a second time.
As far as I know Rammbock is Germany’s first zombie movie to reach a wider audience and I have to say that I really loved it and can’t wait to see more zombie films from them. The movie doesn’t try to be something it is not but instead tries to just be a great entry in the zombie genre with some good scares with the new breed of fast zombies. Rammbock really does succeed in this. There is no bloating with unnecessary plot or characters. It is just good zombie horror.
Rammbock has been picked up for distribution in the US by the new Bloody Disgusting Selects and is currently in limited release. If you get a chance be sure to check it out, it won’t disappoint zombie fans.
