The Return of Misleading but Accurate Descriptions of Popular Movies

Over a decade ago, I was inspired to write a piece where I crafted a collection of misleading but accurate plot descriptions of movies. It was a blast to write and to this day, it remains one of the most viewed articles on the site. I did it again for the Collective Publishing site, but that one seems to be lost to time, due to the site no longer existing and my original copy must have been saved on a device that I no longer have. It has now been over eight years since the last time I did one this little exercise of trying to accurately describe a well-known movie but in a way that may cause you to think of an entirely different plot. Right now, seems like a wonderful time to do even more misleading but accurate plot description for popular movies. I should warn you that to understand some of the descriptions you'd need to know the film, thus there are some spoilers. Beauty and the Beast (1991): The town hero seeks the love of a beautiful girl and vows to kill the monster t...

Solving Back to the Future’s Infamous Plot Holes

(NOTE: This was originally published on NerdMuch back in June of 2020, but I recently noticed the site seems to have closed up shop. This means the article no longer has a home, and since I've used it in my portfolio when pitching to pop culture sites, I thought I should post it here. If NerdMuch happens to come back online, I'll remove this article as they paid for exclusive online rights to it.) Back to the Future is a near-perfect movie. It is a masterful blend of genres; it’s a big special effects action spectacle, a fun twisty sci-fi thriller, a slice-of-life period piece comedy, an equal parts romantic and buddy comedy, and a sincere character-driven coming-of-age tale. The movie has almost turned 40 years old but continues to be one of the most popular and talked about movies ever. Despite most people agreeing it is a great movie, plenty have discussed what they perceive as plot holes and even Avengers: Endgame calls out Back to the Future for mishandling time trave...

For Those Curious About 'Powder' Thanks to 'The Movie Breakdown'. . .

As is tradition, the end of The Movie Breakdown means we randomly shoehorn a reference to an older movie and this week Scott decided to bestow that honour on 1995's Powder . I am not even sure if Scott has ever seen Powder and he probably endorses it as much as he does Dr. Giggles and Down Periscope. I think I've seen it but I need to confess that the teen drama meets Beauty and the Beast mash-up isn't one of the 1990s era movies that have stuck to me. Maybe the mention of the movie has given you an itch for renting it on YouTube (where it is available) or iTunes (where maybe it is?), but you should know that Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert weren't fans. Apparently, a story about an albino boy birthed by lightning and can make spoons stick together lacks believable characters or a well-crafted message. I know, I am shocked as much as you. If you want more reasons to skip Powder , the director was convicted in 1988 of child pornography and sexually assaulting a 12 y...
