Reviews:
Ken reviewed “Shout,” playing at the Retrodome, as Go See It.
Andy reviewed Nova Albion from this past weekend with a mixed review on
repeating history. The hotel was too small; there was much fun after finding
parking. It was one step beyond worth full price. Many follow ons: Glenn
thought the program book was beautiful but non-functional and the con was worth
half price; Chris held court.
Andy reviewed Eurovision as the Swedes and Norwegians dueled to the song, Anna
Bergendahl played a pixie, and the finals are during Baycon.
Al reviewed “The Fourth Kind” as similar to “The Blair Witch Project” but on
UFO’s. Poor directorial and editing choices. Every one is encouraged to see
it on DVD.
Chris reviewed the Cinequest movies as available online:
“Ducked and Covered” – Post Apocalypse movie set in Australia
“Her Morning Elegance” – Stop Motion
“An Action Hero’s Guide to Saving Lives” – starred Patrick
Warburton.
