"Snakes on a Plane" has long been known as "the movie the Internet wrote". Will this one step up to steal that claim?

Vampires have been making a comeback in the past year or two. It's about time, I say. Although I don't know if the best recipe for an enjoyable movie is "vampires + mopey teenagers + teen movie melodrama". I guess what I'm trying to say is, I hate teenagers, and I hope the vampires get all of them.

I believe it was actually an Alexander the Great biography, which is even sadder, because the only thing worse than being upstaged by a great movie from a great director is being upstaged by a bad movie by a mediocre director.

Nicole Kidman has been playing American and British characters ever since her move to Hollywood. She's finally in an Australian movie, made by Australians, set in Australia . . . and she plays an Englishwoman. Et tu, Baze?

Loud echoes? This movie looks basically to be a sequel. It's the same exact story! Except this one doesn't even have Cary Elwes.

The only good thing Adam Sandler has ever done is Opera Man, and no one would argue that he should make Opera Man: The Movie. Here's how to tell if an Adam Sandler movie is going to be any good:

1. Is Adam Sandler in the movie or associated with it in any way?

If the answer is yes, it will not be a good movie.
