Welcome, folks! I'm Larry Meade. I'm 47, I run the parts counter at a farm equipment dealership in Indiana, and on Saturday afternoons you'll find me at the movies with my wife Elaine and our two, Chelsea (11) and Davon (9). Every family I know has the same question on a Friday night: can we take the kids to that, or not? The ratings only tell you so much. So I started writing down what's actually IN the movies we see, for the folks at church, and last Thanksgiving my nephew put it on the Internet for me.

Then something happened that I never expected. People started giving me awards. Me! A guy who got a C in English in 1969! I've got six of them now, and I'll be honest, I'm proud as punch. So before you go read the reviews, come on in and see the trophy case. Elaine says I'm showing off. Elaine is right.

Two, this year. One wanted me to put its banner ad at the top of my front page, and the other gave out the same award to anybody who joined its WebRing, which I found out when I noticed it was on about four hundred pages. An award ought to be for what you made, not a way to get your link on somebody's front page. That's my two cents.

Every award here links back to the people who gave it, because they were kind enough to look at my page and I want you to go look at theirs. I saved every picture to my own space so I'm not using up anybody else's. And they hang in the order I got them, newest first, same as the ribbons on Chelsea's bulletin board.

To Tim, Jen, Shirley, Vince, Charlie and Gladys: thank you. To my nephew, who taught me what a <table> is: thank you. And to everybody who writes to tell me they took the kids to a movie because of my page, or DIDN'T because of my page: that's the best award of all. (But I'll still take the other kind. Just saying.)
