Reviews:
Dave C reviewed 'Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter' as revelatory & worth reading
Diane reviewed 'Dragongirl of Pern' as very well written & she recommended it [Howeird commented that it sounded 'Pernographic' and we all groaned]; then she reviewed 'Finder' by Terri Lynne DeFino as very nicely written and worth full price
Tom reviewed a surf show as stirring and enjoyable
Adrienne reviewed the remastering of old James Bond movie soundtracks as highly recommended with extra material & well worth repurchasing & she's going back for more
Fred reviewed 'This Movie is not yet Rated' on DVD as highly recommended, if only for the commentary track and suggests everyone buy the DVD
[tall] Kevin reviewed the Carson City [NV] Railway Museum as it's supposed to be opened on Mondays & if you're interested in the subject matter you'll enjoy it a lot & he reviewed staying at the Atlantis in Reno was well-priced and he's blogging about it on LJ
Chris reviewed 'Bridesmaid' as disappointing - except for the porkupine - and worth full porkupine & reviewed the 'Hundred Thousand Kingdoms' by NK Jemisin as 'meh' & reviewed 'Dervish House' by Ian MacDonald as absolutely fantastic and very Scottish & recommended highly & reviewed Eurovision as seen with several Irish drunken businessmen & interesting and he highly recommends it - and there were many follow-on's
[evil] Kevin reviewed their Eurovision party as they held it down to 12 hours, it was very energetic - Moldavia was robbed - and reviewed the latest Dr Who episode as excellent
I reviewed 'Thor' as a lot better than I expected and worth full price - see it in 2D & there were follow-on's
Mo reviewed weekend 2 of Open Artists studios in Cubberley as full of energy and excellent artists, then on Sunday she saw Terri Hill's watercolors and thought them exquisite; Dann follow-on'd with praise for the watercolors
