[evil] Kevin reviewed ... stuff ... that was attended by Thinbot as an
interesting anthropological study, but with extra drama

- many that she had managed to thanfully forget, but she did enjoy
Cassandra Claire's 'Infernal Devices' and Alex Flynn's 'Beastly'
Carole reviewed 'Rise of the Guardians' as a decent plot, great fun and
worth seeing twice, Bill opined that someone had lots of fun writing the
dialogue for it he was entertained by it - and also by 'Wreck it Ralph'
Diane reviewed Air NewZealand's flight safety film as worth searching out
reviewed 'The Immune' by Don Lucky Meisenheimer as the best 25 cents she's
spent at a BASFA auction in a long time and a real good read
[tall] Kevin mentioned a 'Hobbit' report - and there was some discussion
about it
Chuck reviewed 'Hitchcock' as the actors did a good job he thought it was
an okay film - worth matinee
Mo reviewed SMOFcon as really good she learned a great deal from it

it across a river
Lisa reviewed Disneyland as they had a good time and the new rides are
entertaining - Dave C agreed with her
Ken reviewed spending the weekend in SanFrancisco - as driving was
challenging the last 5 miles in and out and the weather was good - the big
shindig they went to was 'too loud' and the 'Dance Along Nutcracker' was fun
Howeird reviewed Spring's decorating as 'decorating is hard, drinking is
easy'
Steve reviewed Terry Pratchett's 'Dodger' as if you like Pratchett's style,
you'll like it
