REVIEWS:

Rick reviewed 'The Book of Boba Fett' as it's turning into season 3 of 'The
Mandalorian' - to its credit - & rated as worth your time;
he also reviewed 'Star Trek Protege' as the writing keeps improving & he
really enjoys it

Yochanan reviewed an exhibit in SF at the Palace of Fine Arts, 'The Art of
Banksy', which collects much of his art, as really worth full price.  The
exhibit ends Feb 27.  There were many follow-ons, including Rick's
recommendation of 'Exit Through the Gift Shop' & Craig's mention of 'The
Monkey Wrench Gang' by Edward Abbey;
Yochanan also reviewed the movie 'Needle in a Time Stack' on Amazon Prime
as time travel light with a mopey love story & not terrible, but not really
great;
and Yochanan reviewed 'Time's Convert' by Deborah Harkness as there were
some interesting concepts, but he got lost while reading it & thinks it is
okay for a romance, but there was no time travel.  He got it for free and
thinks it was worth full price;
and Yochanan reviewed a Japanese anime movie called 'Belle', as really good
and beautiful, involving virtual reality, social media and an interesting
take on the 'Beauty and the Beast' story & highly recommended it

Lisa reviewed the first Mythopoeic Society's Midwinter Seminar designed for
being online as they started at 9am for the Central time zone, but she
still enjoyed being able to attend.  She hopes they continue online
seminars since that allows for a greater ability to participate

Craig reviewed a show on HBO Max, about a hit-man from Cleveland called
'Barry' as a little bizarre, a little dark, somewhat comic and recommended

Howeird reviewed 'Bob's Saucer Repair', a book by Jerry Boyd, as it
contains romance and humor.  He thinks that it was more than worth the
price he paid, which was a deal price on Kindle & John O also recommends
the book
