Question: What team fired Sparky Smith? Movie title: The Comrades of Summer Movie plot: Sparky Smith (Joe Mantegna) is the would be player manager of the Seattle Mariners, the culmination of a long and successful career. He is living during the death rattle of the baseball player as superstar era.America was growing tired of the egos, the salaries, the strikes. Sparky represents the worst of this group, with an ego the size of all outdoors, he mimics the perceived attitude of players like George Brett, and Reggie Jackson. The criticism of guys like Sparky is that they forgot that baseball is only a game. Unlike football, it's supposed to be relaxed and fun.Sparky injures himself while filming a commercial he was trying to squeeze in between games, effectively ending his career.Crying to his agent about his bad luck, and begging for another chance, Sparky books a gig in Russia, managing the first Russian Olympic Baseball Team.He has an attractive tour guide/ spy Nadya (Netalya Negoda)who follows him around, and is a bit ambiguous about her job.His hotel room is tiny, everything is broken. The practice field is some old army base and a mess. The players are all hockey players and have hockey gear. His assistant studied baseball in Cuba and keeps referring to a sage named Manuel (this turns out to be a baseball manual).In his free time he walks the streets of Moscow with Nadya. He meets her impoverished family, and waits in line with her for toilet paper. This moves Sparky, and he begins to use baseball as a way to improve the lives of those around him.Nadya introduces him to a Russian street hustler, and Sparky begins to trade American liquor and other trinkets for bats, gloves, uniforms and other things the team needs.Eventually he even brings the players' mothers to a game to make them play better.The team never gets to play in the Olympics due to some political issues beyond any of the character's control, but they all gain from the experience of the game, and Sparky's heart is redeemed.

Question: What is preventing Aunt Josephine from moving? Movie title: Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events Movie plot: Lemony Snicket (Jude Law) is documenting the whereabouts of the Baudelaire children from inside a clock tower. Violet Baudelaire (Emily Browning), her intelligent brother Klaus (Liam Aiken), and their baby sister Sunny (Kara and Shelby Hoffman) are orphaned when a mysterious fire destroys their house and kills their parents. Mr. Poe (Timothy Spall), in charge of the Baudelaire fortune, entrusts them to their closest relative, Count Olaf (Jim Carrey), a playwright who only wants their money. When he learns that he will not be getting the fortune he stops all friendliness to the kids; making them do harsh chores, slaps Klaus when he protests, grabs Sunny and abuses them when they do not make roast beef for dinner, despite not requesting it. On the day that Olaf receives full custody, he drives to a gas station claiming that he is buying soda. However, it turns out that he parked the car, with the children inside, directly on a railroad crossing next to the gas station in the hope of it getting hit by a train. Thankfully, Violet and Klaus are able to throw a nearby switch in the tracks, causing the train to miss them. Mr. Poe then arrives at the scene, mistakenly thinking that Sunny was driving the car, and takes the children away. Olaf promises that he will find them. The orphans are then taken to stay with their uncle, Dr. Montgomery Montgomery (Billy Connolly), a kind, caring, and rather lonely (until the children came along) herpetologist, who is planning to take the children with him on a study in Peru. However, Olaf arrives in disguise as an Italian scientist named Stephano. Violet tries to tell Monty the truth, but he thinks that Stephano is after a snake called The Incredibly Deadly Viper. Monty is found dead the following morning and the authorities have been tricked into thinking that the viper was responsible, but Sunny is able to prove it is actually a friendly, harmless creature. Poe accepts Olaf's guilt, though not his true identity. Olaf abandons his disguise and escapes in his getaway car. Mr....
