I admit to being a little bit apprehensive about the upcoming Superman movie. A British actor has been cast, but if he has any acting chops, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt - after all, look at Hugh Laurie. There are lots of folks here in the States who never saw him in his "Jeeves & Wooster" days, or in "Blackadder," and were shocked to find out he was not American. So, ultimately, I guess I'll give the new Supie a chance.

What really worries me is his costume. After seeing the changes in the last Superman's uniform - where, among other things, his trunks shrunk to little more than a Speedo, I'm afraid the next film might find the Man of Steel wearing a red thong. Yuck.

But, films that shouldn't be made?

Caesar and Cleopatra starring Mickey Rooney and Roseanne Barr

Lawrence of Arabia starring Jim Carrey

Hamlet starring Gilbert Gottfried

A Streetcar Named Desire starring Fran Drescher

The list could go on and on...
