i understand the need to dub films, but is ``Happy Birthday Mr. Grape'' really an adequate substitute for ``What's Eating Gilbert Grape''?

glad to see Rocky and others made it in their original incarnations. not so ``Death Can Wait''

this opened just down the street from me.
i walked in and immediately made friends with the owner, her daughter and her grandson. she wants to sell me the iBook for zero interest, with tiny installments but with the exchange rate at the moment, the price is astronomical.
geoff, i think i should have a chat with your dad.
