     There's no better way to see a movie then with a group that shares their impressions afterwards over a meal and some drinks. Great movies + great disscussions + great people = a really great time.

     John, the organizer set the tone of being welcoming and open. The group was a diverse bunch and shared some interesting thoughts, some of which I agreed with and some I might not. They were friendly, interesting and open to others' ideas. It was a great way to spend an evening. I look forward to getting together again.

     It's not so much what you see, it's the opportunity to share different perspectives which allows us to take the cultural experience even that much further. This group gives you an excellent opportunity to have the WE Experience...
