This group meets on the first Tuesday of each month to view SF and other genre related films.
This month we view Mirrormask (story by Neil Gaiman). Helena, a 15-year-old girl in a family of
circus entertainers, often wishes she could run off and join real life. After a fight with her parents
about her future plans, her mother falls quite ill and Helena is convinced that it is all her fault. On
the eve of her mother's major surgery, she dreams that she is in a strange world with two
opposing queens, bizarre creatures, and masked inhabitants. All is not well in this new world -
the white queen has fallen ill and can only be restored by the MirrorMask, and it's up to Helena to
find it. But as her adventures continue, she begins to wonder whether she's in a dream, or
something far more sinister.
Seville Diner follows the movie - 289 Broadway, Westwood,NJ. (approx. 9:15 to 10:30, sometimes
later).

Ink: The Book of All Hours 2 by Hal Duncan. It's twenty years since the Evenfall swept across the
Vellum ... twenty years since Phreedom Messenger disappeared into the wilderness and Seamus
Finnan got imprisoned in his own past. Twenty years of chaos have intervened but the Dukes,
those remnants of the Covenant, still cling to power in their enclaves of order amid this
bitmite-devastated wilderness." "Yet, across the folds of time and space, rogues and rebels are
now rising up against the Empire. From a medieval fortress where the wandering mummers
stage a harlequin play ... to Kentigern where another harlequin, Jack Flash, wrecks havoc on a
fascist state that thought him dead. From a 1939 Paris where Jack Carter and Seamus Finnan,
heroes of the International Brigades, seek to rewrite history ... to a 1929 Berlin where a very
different Jack seeks to save the world from a history he himself has helped make real." "Locked in
this eternal battle of chaos and order, it seems everyone must play their part now, whether as
rebel or tyrant, hero or villain. And it is Guy Reynard, king of thieves, thief of lives, who links them
all. He is the man who stole the Book of All Hours and then walked across eternity with it, the
keeper of its secrets, the interpreter of its sacred script. But perhaps it's time to throw away a
script written on the skin of angels. For more information click
www.bordersstores.com/stores/store_pg.jsp?storeID=479. There is a pre-meeting dinner
usually at Mahwah Pizza & Pasta or Moe's Southwest Grill. See Yahoo group for details each
month.
