Rare is the trip by airplane that goes exactly as planned. You're bound to end up getting transferred to another flight or missing some piece of luggage or landing hours later than originally expected if you end up choosing this mode of transportation. Dr. Ben Bass (Idris Elba) and Alex Martin (Kate Winslet) were already facing the kind of mundane difficulties we all go through when trying to embark on a flight, namely being unable to get on flights they absolutely need to get on for extremely important personal events (Bass has a patient he has to perform surgery on while Martin is getting married the next day).

"Guess The Wolf's Out Of The Bag": Journey Into Twilight: Part Two
"Now what?" must have been a phrase on the minds of everyone involved in the first Twilight movie, as its far larger than expected box office proved that there was a massive audience for this property more than willing to shell out cash to watch an immortal murderer make goo-goo eyes at a woman nine decades younger than him. Well, there were four of these Twilight books, I guess it's time to get a move on getting those follow-ups made as films.

Cinderella Review
A Cinderella Story
It's interesting to look at how the treatment of fairy tales in pop culture has changed in such a short period of time. At the dawn of the 21st century, Shrek became a phenomenon, and soon, a flood of content was made revolving around lampooning fairy tales. Then, in 2010, Tangled and Alice In Wonderland brought well-known fairy tales to life in a far less cynical manner to huge box office numbers. This had led to such popular entities like Once Upon A Time, Frozen, and the subject of this review, Cinderella, which treat fairy tales with more reverence.
