Reviews
Andy reviewed some of the Eurovision auditions as worth streaming

Howeird reviewed South Bay's Musical Theatre's 'A Funny Thing Hasppened on
the way to the Forum' as the best ever – just phenomenal and energetic –
running Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday through Feb 19 – and high;y
recommended – reviewed in greater depth in his LJ & he reviewed 'MegaPython
vs Gateroid' as the special 'defects' were 'special – seeing the movie so
you don't have to

I reviewed 'The Mechanic' as better than the Bronson version and with a more
satisfying ending – worth matinee & reviewed driving to Napa and back as
horrowing

Dave C reviewed the book 'Zombie Spaceship Wasteland' by Patton Oswalt as he
recommends it

Wendy recommends that we all go out and get the new release of 'Metropolis'
out on DVD

Lisa reviewed 'Agatha H and the Airship City' as interesting to not have the
artwork – weird and kind of different

Trey reviewed Jim Butcher's book 'Side Jobs' as uneven and the stories are
in sequence – worth paperback

We auctioned off a copy of 'Masque of the Red Death' for $20
