Married to the president who helped re-distribute the wealth of the USA from the middle-class to the already rich. Trickle-down economics didn't work and we are paying for it now.

if you liked this film check out the outer limits "The Brain of Colonel Barham" you can find it on the web, I think it's here in Hulu too. A man who is dying agrees to have his brain removed and a machine connected to it so it can talk and see. It's one of my favorite episodes.

A vey fine movie, Nancy was great. The movie was well acted, had an excellent plot, and the possession of Dr. Cory was not over dramatized. Unlike so many Sci-Fi movies today the whole movie did not rely on extravagant special effects forgoing acting and story line. Liked it…

I've tried to watch this several times. Always stops just after commercial and then a black screen. Nothing! Is there a key to seeing it. I've tried restarting and always just blank screen I can scroll on bottom and see it in sections but it still doesn't start up. Any help would be appreciated.
