The night was better and different to what I expected. A big turn out of friends and work collegues of the movie producers who put on a great before and after party. A lot of laughs during the movie directed at the quite insane pin geeks featured, great artwork and video graphics especially at the beginning of movie and a lot of pin facts too which I was unaware (ie the pinball industry was bigger than the movie industry up until 1970) ... I think everyone enjoyed the movie and the night in general ... how could you not - a pin movie followed up by a fully booked bar with free pins, drinks & pizza ... great effort by all involved!!

.......Anyway, a few of you were after reviews?

1. Here's my preview piece:

Not 'exactly' true - here from the horses mouth:


"We didn't make (the film) for the pinball community," Mr Sullivan said.
"It's actually probably for people like me who didn't know anything about it.
