Reviews:
Yochanan reviewed the movie, 'Civil War', produced by the A24 group - as being set in a dystopian possible future with journalists as the point of view characters. He found it bleak but interesting & recommends it
and Yochanan reviewed 'Imaginarium' showing in Milpitas at the Great Mall until May 27. It's a light show with fantastic elements & he found it to be lots of fun. He also said that if you say 'open now' you get $3 off the $26 entry price
