twist & reviewed a Spanish b/w film of Snow White with bullfights =
'Blancanieves' as worth full price & highly recommended

awesome & worth full price & reviewed 'Man or Astroman' as lacking props
due to a van breakdown, but still excellent and totally awes

Valerie reviewed NovaAlbion & Gaslight as 2 weekends & 2 cons, both with
good costumes & Gaslight needed better air condition

- and then said to read '2312' next
