Summary: eNTER THE SECRET WORLD OF SOVIET SCHOOL FOR SEX SPIES!
Review: Debonair yet ruthless, Colonel Victor Khudenko (James Franciscus, when time ran out) recruits Russia's most beautiful and talented teenage girls to attend his secret school to become international sex spies. Major Vera Malevich (Sally Kellerman, Back to School), Khudenko's cold, stern wife, supervises the school's curriculum, systematically stripping the girl's of their clothes and identities...coercing them to sacrifice both mind and body for the State...brainwashing them into submission...ultimately molding deadly K.G.B. agents.

Elena (Linda Hamilton, The Terminator) is the star pupil, forced to surrender her virginity to an anonymous cadet, Elena is chosen to lead her group of elite graduates in subversive fieldwork - luring, seducing and entrapping selected American targets - from students to key international dignitaries.

Intrigue turns to heart-pounding suspense as Elena, posing a an American student, falls uncontrollably in love with her young "hit" and the dream of freedom he represents....
Buy the movie and find out the rest - hehehe...

Summary: awesome
Review: This documentary follows the piorneering explorations of a Cornell Entomologist by the name of Professor Thomas Eisner. Some of the footage in this film has never been shown. Thomas Eisiner takes us into the world of chemical defenses among insects. We see a beetle that shoots poison, a millipede that emits a cloud of toxins, a moth that secretes aphrodisiacs. And one of the most fascinating segments is on a beetle (hemisperota) that has the ability to hold on with its feet with over one hundred times its body weight. Eisner takes us through the scientific process by making observations, making a hypothesis, investigating and then reaching a conclusion. Amazingly, during the filming of this program, Eisner made a discovery of an insect which resulted in a science journal article.

This film is perfect for high school biology students.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must see for all quasi-entomologists
Review: This video is excellent. It is full of astounding camera work including bombardier beetle blasts slowed down to 400 frames per second. The footage is accompanied by enlightening explanations of what is going on and why. The main theme of the video is the chemical defenses utilized by different insects. The audience is also treated to actual laboratory experiments on several insects that reveal surprising facts about them. The video is fascinating and very informative. It would be best suited for students in grades 6-12 though I'm sure it will appeal to adults as well.
