What 5 Other Prequels to Classics Might Look Like
If you've ever wondered what a prequel to "The Wizard of Oz" might look like, you have the answer in Sam Raimi's "Oz the Great and Powerful" — and just think, it only took 74 years to arrive.

13 Movie Titles That Lie
"Snakes on a Plane" may not have ever lived up to the hype, but it remains one of greatest movie titles of our time. (Or the opposite of "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium.")
Why? Because it's bold, colorful and, most of all, tells you exactly what you're going to get: snakes on a muthaf**kin' plane. Maybe the only more apt or remotely better title would have been "Samuel L. Jackson Versus Snakes on a Plane."
That's a mouthful, but it still would've told it like it is. Unlike these dirty liars.

My Favorite Movie: Leelee Sobieski

"I don't know if I can pick just one; there are so many great movies, and I love them all for different reasons. But there are definitely some that stand out.
"'Lawrence of Arabia' is definitely near the top of the list. I love Peter O'Toole and how epic it is. It draws you in and that story becomes the world while you are watching it. The landscapes, and the story, it just really stands out. I've watched it, I don't know how many times.
"I also love 'It Happened One Night' because of how romantic it is. I mean, Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert — what an amazing pair.
"And then there's 'Cry-Baby,' directed by John Waters. It was my absolute favorite when I was a little girl. For a 12-year-old girl, Johnny Depp was just so dreamy! I couldn't get over it. His performance was incredible."
Leelee Sobieski appears in "Branded," in theaters this weekend, and will next be seen in the comedy "The Last Film Festival." She also stars on the CBS drama, "NYC 22."
