Reviews:
I reviewed 'Xmen First Class' as okay, worth matinee & reviewed 'Abominable'
- a syfy flick - as truth in advertising & that it looked like they used old
wookie costumes & not really worth sitting thru unless one suffered from
insomnia

Mike reviewed 'Super 8' as that everyone had daddy issues & the plot was
stitched together out of a dozen other movies - worth matinee - and Chris
follow-on'd that it was a fantastic 2 minutes

Ed reviewed John Scalzi's book 'God Engines; as dark and too horrible for
him but still recommended

Carole reviewed 10 hours of going thru stuff as that much stuff found new &
loving homes, but that much other stuff remained - if interested, come see
her

Howeird reviewed a play = 'Tongue of a Bird' seen at the Dragon Theatre in
Palo Alto as ambiguous with lots of monologues but the cast & director were
great - it was worth matinee but the talk back opportunity afterwards was
worth full price & reviewed the National Geographic 'LotR' doco as having
high production values

Jo reviewed going thru a cloudburst as not worth full price

Chris reviewed rodents as worth it & reviewed 'Who Killed Science Fiction'
by Earl Kemp as fabulous

[evil] Kevin reviewed 'Undead or Alive' as seen to spare us all

Fred commented that 'The Book of Mormon' as having won a Tony award &
available on Amazon for $1.99

Bill reviewed Bujold's latest 'Cryo Burn' as mediocre & recommends 'vote for
something else'

we adjourned at 9:43 pm

Rumor of the Week:  'Xmen First Class, everyone else coach'
