Editorial Review for Movie Madness Video and More – by Jeff Martin
In Short
The operative word here is eclecticism. You'll find everything from big-budget new releases to art-house fare to some of the most obscure exploitation flicks ever created. They've also got a great selection of classic films. In other words, inventory in this cool store runs the gamut from Bergman's best to Ed Wood's worst. There's also a nifty collection of authentic Hollywood movie costumes and props.

To Everyone, Just a few weeks ago I discovered Portland's Best Kept secret......Movie Madness. I moved to Portland almost a year ago from San Francisco and I didn't even know that this wonderful store existed.... Until now. I do not agree with the negative review that someone wrote about Movie Madness. I found the staff and management very helpful and friendly. Perhaps the person that the previous reviewer had a problem with....no longer works there because of this incident. They really need to give this place another chance. I also love the many costumes and props they have on display. I can't wait to see this store when their major expansion is completed. I also love the fact that this store has one of the best selection of videos and dvd's that I've ever seen. A NEW CUSTOMER WHO IS VERY HAPPY TO DISCOVER SUCH A GEAT STORE.......
Pros: large selections of video & dvd's, great customer service, good prices too.....
Cons: construction going on during business hours...but I know it has to happen

I walked into Movie Madness at 11:30 on a Saturday night. They close at twelve. At 11:48, I was ready with my selection and approached the counter. The 'manager' informed me that they closed in 3 minutes and that it would take about ten to open an account for me. My friend and I pointed out that they in fact closed in 12 minutes and that should be plenty of time. He said they had to count out the drawer in three minutes (he already had his coat on and was ready to leave-12 minutes before closing). He then went on to say that he had to help the other customers (there was no one else in the store and there were three other employees just standing around in the area.) He then proceeded to inform me that they do not open new accounts after a certain time. There are no signs that indicate this and, if this is really their practice and had I known (signs people!), I would have opened the account before selecting my movies. It is poor business practice to not assist customers during business hours. You do not count out the till until after closing-not 10 minutes before closing. You want to leave by 12:00, you close at 11:45. The manager was incredibly rude and had a very smug little 'I can do whatever I want to and I don't want to assist a customer, I want to get out of here early' smile throughout the whole conversation. It was not like he had to shut down the store by himself, there were at least 4 other employees in the store at the time. He had more than enough time to help me and chose to count down the register before closing so he could leave. I will never go back there and I will tell all of my friends to not go there. They just lost business because of a rude and unhelpful man.
Pros: good movie selection
Cons: Really rude manager
