Ok, the plot summaries for the movies photo album is probably 99% complete. Have a look. I pulled the info for the movies from www.imdb.com. If there are any typos and/or corrections that need to be made, please email me and let me know! Thanks!

The NBA All-Star game was all that and then some! If you missed the dunk contest, you missed out some primetime entertainment! It was nice to see the NBA come back with some style!
There were only a couple of low points in my view of the NBA All-Star weekend. The commercials putting Jordan on a pedastal to me reeked of how much the NBA is still looking for the one man show! They have the opportunity to start promoting team. Haha! Yeah right. It basically is saying that Shaq, Kobe, McGrady, Iverson and Lebron aren't the one man show they are looking for. Although, Lebron does look promising.
The other low point was how much the media wanted Kobe and Shaq to two-piece each other! I wonder if they fight, could the networks be sued for instigating it? I am sure the legal system could find a way for civil charges to brought upon Walton? I know that reporters have a responsibility to to report the news, but should they be the ones making the news?
Well, either way, the second half of the NBA season promises to be good! It always gets better after the all-star break. The stars show up and start to play!

Here's a first - The Superbowl game was... good. Sounds weird, huh? The commercials were actually worse than the game. It was a good defensive game. The commercials were decidedly cautious, almost to the point of annoying! Having Sir Paul McCartney perform his oldies was a safe bet against any "Wardrobe Malfunctions".
The NBA Allstar weekend is coming. I hope that it is equally as exciting as the Superbowl.

For those of you who aren't old enough, thought you might like to read about us. This my friends, is surprisingly frightening ...and it might put a smile on your face: Do you remember when you were a kid?
According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 60's, 70's and early 80's probably shouldn't have survived, because our baby cots were covered with brightly coloured lead-based paint, which was promptly chewed and licked.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, or latches on doors or cabinets and it was fine to play with pans.
When we rode our bikes, we wore no helmets, just flip flops and fluorescent 'spokey dokeys' on our wheels.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or airbags - riding in the passenger seat was a treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle and it tasted the same.
We ate chips, bread and butter pudding and drank fizzy pop with sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing.
We shared one drink with four friends, from one bottle or can and no one actually died from this.
We would spend hours building go-karts out of scraps and then went top speed down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into stinging nettles a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We would leave home in the morning and could play all day, as long as we were back before it got dark. No one was able to reach us and no one minded.
We did not have Playstations or X-Boxes, no video games at all. No 99 channels on TV, no videotape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no personal computers, and no Internet chat rooms. We had friends, we went outside and found them.
We played dodgeball, and sometimes that ball really hurt.
We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones but there were no lawsuits.
We had full on fistfights but no prosecution followed from other parents.
We played knock-and-run and were actually afraid of the owners catching us.
We walked to friend's homes.
We also, believe it or not, WALKED to school; we didn't rely on mommy or daddy to drive us to school, which was just round the corner.
We made up games with sticks and tennis balls.
We rode bikes in packs of 7 and wore our coats by only the hood.
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law.
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
The majority of students in universities today were born in 1983. They are called youth.
They have never heard of We are the World, We are the children, and the Uptown Girl they know is by Westlife not Billy Joel.
They have never heard of Rick Astley, Bananarama, Nena or Belinda Carlisle.
For them, there has always been only one Germany and one Vietnam.
AIDS has existed since they were born.
CD's have existed since they were born.
Michael Jackson has always been white.
To them John Travolta has always been round in shape and they can't imagine how this fat guy could be a god of dance.
They believe that Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible are films from last year.
They can never imagine life before computers.
They'll never have pretended to be the A Team, Night Rider or the Famous Five.
They can't believe a black and white television ever existed and don't even know how to switch on a TV without a remote control.
And they will never understand how we could leave the house without a mobile phone.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.
