Totally TiVo Trivia

If you have cable you know that if you hit the 'Info' button ~or similar~ you get a brief description of the program you are pondering. In today's blog I will test your movie knowledge. I've looked up the description of a variety of movies. What is your movie grade? Anyone who gets all 10 right will win a prize (stick of gum, $10,000, or a hug...I haven't decided which one yet). Good luck..........................(p.s. you don't have to have cable to guess, just a good cranial movie data base).

1) 1993~ A kidnapper contacts his victim's Seattle boyfriend three years after the crime.
2) 1999~ A man's life changes when an international star walks into his bookshop.
3) 1999~ A former high-school nerd, now a reporter, gets a second chance when she goes under cover for a story on cool teens.
4) 2000~ Condemned to arena fights by corrupt Roman leader Commodus, Gen. Maximus seeks revenge for his family's deaths.
5) 2008~ Defying a corrupt business mogul, Speed enters the same arduous cross-country race that caused his brother's death.
6) 2000~ The mayor opposes a single mother who is opening a chocolate shop in his 1950s French village across from a church during Lent.
7) 2007~ A widower advice-columnist faces a personal and professional challenge when he falls in love with his brother's girlfriend.
8) 1986~ A rich teen asks an unpopular teen to the senior prom, creating problems among their separate circles of friends.
9) 1996~ A small-time rock band rides a big wave of success with the help of a savvy record-executive and a catchy single.
