Advantages: Excellent range of DVDs, Saves you going to Blockbuster, Movies on demand

Disadvantages: None

If you are someone who loves watching movies on your DVD player but lead a busy life and as such do not get time to go to your local video shop very often then the In-Movies website is an absolute godsend.

From costs ranging from £15-£25 you can rent an unlimited number of DVDs each month, with them being delivered to your door by post. The difference in price relates to the number of DVDs you can rent at the same time, with two DVDs at £15 up to five at £25 per month.

The range of DVDs is excellent, with all tastes catered for. The website is divided into categories: Action, Adult, Arthouse, Childrens, Classic, Comedy, Documentary, Drama, Foreign Language, Horror, Indian Cinema, Music, Musical, Romance, Science Fiction, Sport, Television and Thriller. There is even a section devoted to those 'bonus' disks which seem to be so beloved of DVD manufacturers these days. You can also search by title for the particular DVD you may be looking for.

You then add the DVDs you choose to a list, and each new title is delivered to you when you return your previous disc.

The only drawback to site is the inability to search by anything other than the name of the disc. For example, if you are looking for something directed by Steven Spielberg, you can't type his name in and see a list of what is available. However, using this website in conjunction with another movie site such as The Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com) solves this problem, as you can search for individuals there, find out what movies and television shows they have been involved in, and then search for those titles at the In-Movies website.

What about the service itself? Well, it appears to be excellent, although I've only recently joined. The discs arrived promptly, and although I was slightly disappointed to see that you only receive the disc itself and not the packaging that you would get if you were to BUY the disc, I soon realised that if each disc
was sent out in its original packaging they probably wouldn't have fit through my letterbox, and so I would have had to go to the Post Office to collect them, whicih would kind of negate the point of the service in the first place.

Each disc arrives in its own envelope, packaged with a pre-paid envelope so that when you finish watching the disc all you have to do is seal the envelope, pop it in a post box, and wait for the next disc to vome winging its way through your door.

So, the In-Movies DVD service is excellent. It is also worth remembering though that the website is not simply for DVD rental. They have a 'news' section, which is no great shakes, but there is also a section for downloading and watching short movies and features on your computer, which is an excellent way of finding movies which you ordinarily wouldn't come across.

All in all, the In-Movies website and DVD service is excellent and well worth every penny. I urge everyone who reads this opinion to register with them (and no, they are not paying me to say that!!).
