'Rogue One' got reviewed a lot, very much enjoyed, worth multiple viewings, that the 3D was good - although the plot was not terribly subtle

Andy reviewed Hasbro's Pie in the Face game as simple, but worth full price

Dave C reviewed 'Office Christmas Party' as fun & clever & he enjoyed it

Brad reviewed 'Carol for Another Christmas' as about 9 minutes long, from 1964, on Turner classics as still good and relevant

Adrienne reviewed 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' as she enjoyed it & found it endearing & Mo also enjoyed it

Carole reviewed 'YaYoi' at Homestead & DeAnza, a Japanese restaurant as serving excellent food, with high-moderate price as highly recommended

Mo reviewed audio books in general as Amazon Prime gives a monthly credit for them & she recommends the F Paul Wilson Repairman Jack series

John O reviewed a whole slew of books, among them Scalzi's 'Agent to the Stars' as shallow, but fun
