The secretary reviewed 'Spiderman Homecoming' as lots of fun, worth full price & both cookies were good; Yochanon enjoyed it & thought it worth matinee

Yochanon reviewed 'War for the Planet of the Apes' as he loved it, the CGI was seamless & worth full price; reviewed 'Alien Covenant' as not great but not bad & better than 'Prometheus' & reviewed the New Parkway Theatres in Oakland as he *loved* the theatre, there's not a lot of parking, they do a lot of second-run movies & the venue to totally worth it
Dave C reviewed Tita VonTeease at the Fillmore as a wonderful performance and many, many sequins
