US TV Movies week of Jan 3, 2004

I've added character names and role ages where I have them.  This means the age the character is supposed to be, not necessarily the actor.  The role age was a later addition to my database so I don't have as many of them.

I've also added the date to each movie.

I see that numeral 8 and ) are getting converted to smiley faces, so if you see a smiley it means the character was 8.  I'll deal with that another time.

I still haven't corrected the truncation of the synopses.

Excellent!  This is great, and even the truncated text gives a fair idea of the film. Thank you!

I still recommend 'The Sandlot' for those who haven't seen it.  A really dizzying assortment of cute boys Smiley  I'll have to check out 'Rudy' also.

Its funny - I bought a VHS copy of 'The Cellar' years ago and decided it was a straight-to-VHS indie movie that would never show up anywhere else.  Not a great movie but the boy is very nice looking, with a cute smile.
