Dave C reviewed 'Argo' as suspenseful & he liked it & it's fun - worth full price - while JC says there's a documentary about the events of the film that is very good
Chris reviewed 'OSS 177: Cairo: Nest of Spies' as a lot of fun & a send up of the spy genre - worth full price - then reviewed crock pot cooking as the chicken is not longer your friend when the power gets shut off midway thru cooking & reviewed 'Shh, it's a Secret' by Dan Kimmel as humorous & fun & should be made into a movie
JC reviewed 'Batman, the Dark Knight Returns, part 1' as animated & worth full price - especially on Blueray

Brad reviewed seeing Obama at the Bill Clinton theatre as exciting & reviewed seeing a re-release of 'Gone with the Wind' as the big screen presents the film well & it's well worth seeing
Mo reviewed the 'Alternative Press Expo' as it's gotten big & she saw lots of friends she knows there & the art was excellent & she reviewed a hidden object game - 'Mystery Case Files - Dire Grove' as she recommends it
Sarah reviewed 'Looper' as very good - worth full price & then reviewed 'Cloud Atlas' as recommended and going to be a movie soon
