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...

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...

Disney Plus Offering 'Mulan' for $29.99 Could Turn Out to Be a Historic Event

Ever since Covid-19 forced the closure of movie theatres in March, the most unsurprising news stories have been theatrical releases getting delayed or studios moving a movie to either streaming or premium VOD. Movie theatres in many parts of North America remain closed but movie studios have a lot of pictures stuffed on the shelf that are not being seen and not making any money. Studios on a weekly basis have been forced to either push a release date to a time they hope will be safer to screen their film on the big screen for an audience or try to make a profit by either selling it to a streamer like Netflix and Amazon Prime or see if entertainment hungry consumers will bite at a $19.99 premium rental option. Just this past week we saw the Disney owned Fox looking to sell off the Amy Adams starring thriller, The Woman in the Window to Netflix and United Artists Releasing studio announcing Bill and Ted Face the Music will be release on premium VOD (along with a small theatrical releas...
