reviewed 'Skyfall' as beautifully written and well-acted and there was a
dog & that the best Blueray he now owns is 'Company'

Lisa reviewed 'Wreck It Ralph' as wonderful and worth seeing twice - worth
full price & Trey followed, saying that he enjoyed it and thought it worth
high matinee

I reviewed 'Argo' as a very good adaptation of real-world events, well
acted and to stay and see the end credits to hear the bit from Jimmy Carter
- worth full price - Trey followed that it was not typical escapism and
thought that it was well done

Dave C reviewed  'Snuff' by Terry Pratchett as fun with Samuel Vimes & he
greatly enjoyed it & thought it worth full price in whatever format you
find it in & also reviewed a restraunt review in last week's NY Times as
being full of questions

Mo reviewed a delightful Sunday afternoon spent at Adrienne's father's
place, watching things get printed as really something to see

Ken reviewed the 'Game Show Show' again as it ended somewhat tearfully &
was still great

We did auctions
