Reviews
Andy reviewed 'District B13' – a very strange, near-future French
dystopic film as completely mad & highly recommended & reviewed
'Mooring at the Dock' – a swedish film = 'Angora En Brygga' about
docking a sailboat, as an insane comedy
Adrienne reviewed 'Harry Potter 7a' as she enjoyed the book, the
actors did well and the fx were good, but the plot of the movie was
hackneyed at times; worth matinee; Lisa follow-on'd that she enjoyed
it; Aatheus did not think it was worth seeing in IMAX
Dave G reviewed the American retread of 'Top Gear' as reimagined and
diminished – as he wasn't really impressed; [tall[ Kevin follow-on'd
that he was not hugely disappointed by the retread & then Dave
reviewed 'Beyond the Beyond' by Lee Goldberg as fun & he recommends it
Spring reviewed the Oakland Museum of California for the Pizar exhibit
and it was phenominal – worth full price and museum membership
Glenn reviewed OryCon as he spent most of his time behind the table
but had a pretty good time – [tall] Kevin reviewed the 'Match Game' as
surprisingly well attended & he had great panelists & there may be a
Westercon 66 bid from Portland; Glenn also recommends the web-comic
'Sinfest' & hopes 'Tron 2' will live up to the trailer he saw
Fred reviewed 'For the Win' by Cory Doctorow as much better than he
expected and he recommends it
Then we did more auctions – books for $3.00; magazines for $1.00; &
a bag for $0.25
We adjourned at = 9:08
The rumor of the week was: 'Trey is in favor of 'Lust in Translation'
