and definitely worth the $7.00 paid for it

reviewed the Coast Starlight train to Seattle as a lot of fun & Sue

Chris Garcia reviewed the expanded DVD of '1776' as excellent & reviewed
the 'Sky Captain' DVD as it did not make a good transition to the small

Dave C reviewed Baker's 'Life of the World to Come' as fun
Then Kevin was a contrarian [that's good], reviewing his
-all-work-weekend [that's bad]

least another in the series & he reviewed the PS2 game 'Yu-gi-oh,
Duellist of the Roses' as 'now you have been warned'
