reviewed a Tokyo wrestling match as awesome & included midgets & a carnival
– then he reviewed 'Ring' by Stephen Baxter as a little high concept for him
but still decent

Adrienne reviewed 'The Tourist' as she was disappointed with the scripting &
was in denial that the ending was so predictable

left him feeling hollow and disconnected – worth matinee
