Reviews:
Kevin R reviewed seeing all 3 days of ‘Triangle’ on the SciFi channel as
not worth full price & Dave G follow-on’d that ‘Riley Ace of Spies’ is
now out on DVD (?)
Dave C reviewed the Psychotronic Film Festival at Foothill as an
excellent time was had by all, worth full price & reviewed ‘Harry Potter
& the Goblet of Fire’ as he liked the new actor playing Dumbledore.
Chris reviewed ‘Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire’ as he admits Cedric
was an attractive man & they did a good adaptation & the Dresden Dolls
do amazing stuff - like the Tiger Lilies light & he’ll interview them
real soon & then Chris’s mind was boggled [by thoughts of Tenacious D
doing the ‘Hoky Poky’]
Harold reviewed the travelling exhibit for the Hall of Fame at the
Oakland Museum at California as very good for baseball and worth full
price & reviewed ‘Narnia’ as visually stunning, well-acted - probably
worth full price but I paid matinee & faithfully adapted; then Trey
follow-on’d that the pace was uneven & overall a good movie to see &
worth ‘good matinee’
Kevin reviewed the flash animation site of Boromir trying to catapult
the one ring [google = catapult the one ring] as insanely funny
Then Chris reviewed the site toothpasteforbreakfast.com as strange but
fun and highly recommended
