UPDATE:  It appears that files with special characters freeze the importer but 
if I kill it and restart it, it WILL import them in small batches.  Basically 
any kind of : or * or - in the imdb title for the movie will kill any kind of 
automated import.  
IE:  WALL*E and Wreck-It Ralph also completely hung-up the import process.  If 
i killed it and restarted the plugin a few times they eventually were added to 
the database but each time it froze the plugin and it had to be manually closed.

Going to need logs at the very least, pretty much everyone has movies with 
dashes and have no problem. Maybe this is an issue with the scraper you use.
