...longer be driven, but with E.U. regulations ending the restrictions, nearly 400,000 used cars entered Poland between May and August - 25 times more than in the first four months of the year.

"The problem is, we keep looking for radioactive spiders, but really it's God who changes us." What's the big idea behind The Village, according to the website movieministry.com "Perfect love drives out fear." Behind The Notebook? "God can step in where science cannot." And, gulp, Anchorman?
