Don't miss this Sunday's fun movies at the Hammer Museum on Wilshire/Westwood.

Hope to see some of you there!

The next free Family Movie from the UCLA archives is The Black Stallion on Sunday, November 14, at 11am.  This 1979 color movie is based on "Walter Farley’s classic novel about a boy and a majestic stallion who meet during an ocean voyage and bond while stranded on a picturesque desert island."

Carroll Ballard (Duma) made his feature debut with this gorgeous adaptation of Walter Farley’s classic novel about a boy and a majestic stallion who meet during an ocean voyage and bond while stranded on a picturesque desert island. Ballard balances action with subtle characterization, convincingly detailed art direction, and breathtaking cinematography by Caleb Deschanel. (1979, 117 min. Dir: Carroll Ballard 35mm, color)

First the bad news...We are located in the upper Midwest, and severe storms on Tuesday morning left us without power. Due to the power outage, orders that were placed this week were delayed for a few days. We are told that we should have power restored this weekend, and if all goes according to plan, we will ship all orders on Monday via USPS Priority Mail.

When you place any order, no matter how small, we'll give you the All About Homophones book for free, and you can download it immediately. This popular e-book sells for $27.95 on our website, but today it won't cost you a cent!

Here's how to claim your free book with any purchase:
  1. Add any product(s) to your cart.
  2. Do not add the All About Homophones e-book to your cart quite yet.
  3. In the upper left corner of the cart, you'll see a box that says "Special Code." Type in these three letters, all in capital letters: AAH. Then click the "Apply" button.
