& Ken announced that a new Dr Who trailer premiered this past Saturday (typically, the day after the Legion of Rassilon meeting).

REVIEWS:

Lisa reviewed seeing 'Howl's Moving Castle' & was reminded of how beautiful and breath-taking the movie is. She also pointed out how gorgeous a movie it is to see on the big screen & highly recommends it

Gerry reviewed the 'Barbie' movie & thought that the movie worked, made a few points & thought that while it was cartoonish, there were still some profound moments. He thinks it may become a classic in time & was worth the matinee price paid. Gayle also enjoyed it & found it extremely colorful & kind of cute

we adjourned at 8:22 pm

and the rumor of the week was = 'Time travel is when we remember that the original Doctor Who is now 60 years old'
