You should see my mom spell English words... OUCH! She also does spell them the way they sound. And when she tries to read them the way they are spelled... OUCH! That's even worse.
I'm German btw, and my mom never learned English...

The term "Ouija" is derived from the French "oui" (for "yes") and the German/Dutch "ja" (also for "yes").

That explains it... ;)

It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . .

I have a very dear friend that is a Russian living in Riga, Latvia. She tries her best and certainly does MUCH better with English than I could ever hope to do with speaking either Russian or Latvian, but there are times when I have to scratch my head for a minute trying to figure out just which word she's trying to use... :-) She's sweet and cute though, so it's ok... ;-)

Director: Mike Hodges More Info
Starring: Sam J. Jones, Topol, Max von Sydow, Timothy Dalton, Melody Anderson, Ornella Muti, Brian Blessed, Peter Wyngarde, Mariangela Melato, Richard O'Brien

In spite of high budgeting, this film is nearly as silly as its predecessors in the 1930s. It is campy, but just misses the mark. Again, the Earth must be saved from its attackers.

Director: Rintaro More Info
Starring: Corey Burton, Fay McKay, Anthony Pope, Booker Bradshaw, Barry Seegar, B.J. Ward, William Woodson

Director: Greydon Clark More Info
Starring: Jan-Michael Vincent, Cybill Shepherd, Martin Landau, Raymond Burr, Neville Brand, Brad Rearden, Vincent Schiavelli

Director: Robert Fuest More Info
Starring: Sharon Gless, Julie Kavner, Audra Lindley, Don Johnson, Mason Adams, Arthur Hill

Sandwiched between "The Stepford Wives" (1975) and "The Stepford Children" (1987), this is a mediocre offering about the strange goings-on among the robot-like wives in Stepford.

Superman is back, and this film is nearly as good as the first one. Superman (Christopher Reeve) is still fighting for law and order, and the battle is against three Kryptonian villains played by Terence Stamp, Jack O'Halloran, and Sarah Douglas. Great sport.
1980 Virus Sci-Fi PG, 155 Minutes

Cool. You could probly buy it at almost the price to rent it from one of the Amazon vendors.

I was thinking that I could rip it then send the file to you but that would be one huge file.
