Reviews
Tron was reviewed by many as really quite good and full of shiny things
Dave C reviewed 'Coraline the musical' as enjoyable but still getting their
legs & - when pressed – that it was worth the discount ticket
I reviewed 'Voyage of the Dawn Treader' as a nice adaptation with good 3D
and nice effects, worth full price, Lisa also enjoyed it, Trey was a little
disappointed, thought it was too rushed and worth matinee
Julie reviewed Dicken Faire as she worked it and it was a good year; that
her dad got a new 3dTV that she set up, that network TV is worthless, that
'Harry Potter 7a' was 9 out of 10 & she hopes Narnia makes it to the
'Magician's Nephew' & 'Pillars of the Earth' from Netflix as a good
adaptation but rushed
Dave C reviewed 'Shipwrecked' by Donald Margulies as worth full price if
already in New England & reviewed 'The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band' CD/DVD for
'{our l'Amour des Chiens' as worth full price
Chris reviewed 'Black Swan' as genius and the girls needed to eat and worth
full price, that this Xmas episode for 'Communities' as genius & Scot
Westerfeld's 'Behemoth' was worth 2/3 full price but 'Leviathan' was better
Fred reviewed the SJ Museum or Art's special exhibit of Louis Villareal as
excellent and go see it, it should be there for only a few more weeks
Josh reviewed 'Abraham Lincoln's Big Gay Dance Party' as very well done by
City Lights
Aatheus reviewed 'Santa Claus vs the Ice Cream Bunny' as hilariously random
Joni reviewed Happy Hollow as pleasant
