Reviews:
I reviewed 'Game of Shadows' as a rousing good romp & fun film, worth full price [other comments followed, mostly positive] and I also reviewed 'Snuff' by Terry Pratchett as marvellous, I enjoyed it greatly - that it had a wonderful take on poo & worth full hardback price
Andy reviewed something he didn't remember as definitely not worth full price but he is recovering & he rode the bike home
[evil] Kevin reviewed the Aerostitch Roadcrafter 2-piece suit and the Shoei RF900 helmet as definitely worth full price
'Chuck reviewed an autobiography of Joe Simon as a good history of the comic industry now passed
Jan reviewed a Japanese-Thai-Fusion place in Belmont called Me.N.U as really interesting and worth full price
Fred reviewed the Rodin exhibit in Stanford as free and worth seeing
Bradford reviewed the original 'Topper' movie as wonderful and worth seeking out & reviewed the 10th season of 'Smallville' as they went all out & it's enjoyable and worth buying on DVD
Dave C reviewed 'The Bookman' as worth paperback - an alternative history fantasy steampunky kind of book & reviewed 'Young Adult' as a fun nervous kind of stalkery movie, worth matinee
Mo reviewed the book 'Amazonia' as not worth reading & don't bother
Dann reviewed 'Darby O'Gill and the Little People' as a true gem - an outstanding visual treat & he would pay twice normal cinema prices to see it in the theatre
Carol reviewed SMOFcon in Amsertdam as a cood con - they also visited friends and had a wonderful time; Bill followed that he got some useful information from the panels and was on one as well, that he had fun, KLM was worth full price & the Kiev airport is like SJ's 'Terminal C'
