Anybody seen the film "Constantine"?

Wilhelmus

I prefer buying DVD, if the movie is good and the price is right (read: cheap ). I have once been in theaters and the movie was Star Wars - The Phantom Menace, so i am not so movie freak who sits on theaters.

more hijackings

bentwings

Hi, Newbie here, So far I have followed the postings regarding homepage hijacking. Well I have it too!!! This is the 3rd time in a year. Each time the only solution was to wipe and reload. Fortunately I don't have many valuable files and don't have a lot of favorites.
