Reviews:
[evil] Kevin reviewed another awful movie seen so you don't have to =
'Sharktopus' - as sooooo bad that the movie host was making fun of it & the
movie was ghastly & also reviewed the 'Astroboy' movie was nice and worth cable
I reviewed 'Resident Evil 4' as not as good as '3', that parts were enjoyable
but the ending was poor & it was worth matinee - but we had paid full price & I
reviewed 'I am Legend' - the Will Smith version - as well done, but not a movie
to be watching alone when one's sweetie has been sent out of state
Bob reviewed the 'Ikinook reader' as very good; reviewed moving as it sucks
even if you only have one car worth of stuff & reviewed the California Academy
of Science as he waited in a 2 hour line and heard it was a 4 hour wait for
others & reviewed #Aus4 online as fun but virtual con crud was not fun
Ed reviewed Weber's 'Mission of Honor' as he enjoyed it - and also enjoyed
KFC's
double down [tall Kevin noted 'evil tastes good, that's why it's evil']
Dave C reviewed the SF Friends of the Library book sale as that he found a
book
there 'Super Constitution' by Charles Kim as it has bad dialog, bad science,
bad
sf - and 'is a keeper'
[tall] Kevin reviewed Aussiecon 4 and the travelling he did there as worth
everything he paid for it - and follow-ons pretty much agreed with him
Ken reviewed 'Easy A' as an enjoyable little fill, worth full price and
recommended
Dave G reviewed New Zealand as worth full price, highly recommended & reviewed
'I eat your Skin' 'so you didn't have to'
We did auctions – birthday auctioned Geri off for $5.00 to Ken; books for
$1.00, $0.75, $0.15, $0.25; magazine for $0.25; taffy for $0.10, $0.10;
