Support local business, support DarkStar

by ghrohrs

The above (Jackie727) who felt so insulted by being charged a late fee must have kept the video 18 days longer than agreed ($2/day late fee). If you waited this long, you can't expect any leniency; its a business.

Darkstar has a great selection. I am one that believes 75% of movies made are worthless wastes of time, but you can find most of the quality ones here. They carry a lot of bad movies because most of you watch bad movies.

If you know better, you'll read the middle-ground reviews for the valuable stuff. Ignore the kooks and wackos, support your local mom & pops, strive to be an educated consumer and enjoy quality cinema, whether its from the library or DarkStar video.

• Pros: Reasonable rental fees, very ample selection
• Cons: Old-school, small, too many bad movies cluttering shelves

Great rental choices, low cost fees.

I like this store. Sure clerks are busy and helpful advice for movie choices is questionable for those who need to ask. Darkstar Video offers an excellent selection to make up your own mind. Low cost rentals, no membership fee is a good deal. Go in, find your selection, go home to watch and return in timely manner, keeps all problems to a minimum. This is a video rental store. Darkstar is an excellent addition to Lincoln Square, hope it stays in business for more shopping/rental choices in this neighborhood. Go in, join. You won't be disappointed by the selection or cost.

• Pros: Great selection
• Cons: Busy sales clerks.

Good selection, cheap prices

by Dalton74

I happily gave up my Netflix account and trips to Blockbuster after moving to Lincoln Square and finding Darkstar. At first I was apprehensive seeing mainstream movie posters in the window, but the selection inside has a wide variety and the prices are cheap at $3. Lincoln Square is a great neighborhood of local independent businesses and Darkstar is among the best.
