Reviews:
Dave G, Spring & Dave C reviewed a free preview of ‘Alien vs Predator’
as 87 minutes of their life they will never get back; much hilarity then
ensued in their description of the night and they rated it as worth,
respectively, free, garage sale VHS & as BASFA auction – but it will
inspire much laughter
I reviewed ‘Collateral’ as that I’m not a tom Cruise fan but thought it
worth full price followed by matinee - & Trey follow-on’d that it was
fun to watch Cruise’s characterization & he’s nicely matched with Jamie
Foxx & rates it as worth matinee
Kevin reviewed a grocery store DVD of ‘Schoolhouse Rock’, a 2-disc set
as worth the $20 he paid for it – and reviewed NBC’s coverage as that
they are doing a good job
We auctioned off stuff = posters .25; 2 National Geographics for .25 &
$1, & a another pristine audio book bomb [read by William Shatner] for .25
We adjourned at = 9:03 pm
And the rumor of the week was that ‘the next game to reach the Olympics
will be Red Rover’
