Yes/No Detroit

Film: A- (4 stars out of 5) Special features: B- Chris Gorham and I at the Ann Arbor premiere, Oct. 2010 By now you should all be familiar with Answer This! , an indie film I have written a few articles about.

What was pretty funny was that they enter the front doors of Rackham, and walk through a library's reading room - actually the fabled Law Library reading room - and then end up in the stacks, which are actually in the Grad...

In attendance was Arielle Kebbel, one of the stars of the show, and Chris and Mike Farah, the writer/director and producer of the movie, respectively.

Motor City Trivia table For the general audience, the movie started at 8pm, but for those who had purchased the $75 VIP tickets, to benefit local charities, the party started at 6:30, on the 2nd floor of the theater. Dinner and drinks were served, and Motor City Trivia was in attendance as well to get the party started with some one-on-one trivia.
