Time travel movies always raise such interesting paradoxes. Would you kill Hitler as a baby? Would you attempt to profit from your knowledge of the future? Or would you prevent some of the worst movies ever made from coming to fruition? The science-fiction genre has long been a haven for the mediocre, even the awful, usually due to the belief that everything else is secondary to the sci-fi concept, and while the 1950s and '60s are famous for their goofy schlock as well as their timeless masterworks, there are plenty of high-profile targets from the past few decades that could disappear, and nobody would care. The day we get perfect our source code technology, we're going back and killing these in the script stage.

Disney has acquired the rights to Agatha Christie's meek-old-lady-solving-crimes property Miss Marple and plans to turn it into a feature film reboot starring... Jennifer Garner, who is only 38 and primarily known for kicking people while wearing lingerie on Alias. So they're going a different way with it! A younger, and hence, more attractive way with it, which sounds like a financially sound trend that could really take off. Might we suggest even worse old people recasting/reboot ideas? Yes. Yes we might.

This week's releases involve a bunch of crazy and a lot of hair pulling.

Zack Snyder's fever dream Sucker Punch failed to knock out Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2 at the box office this past weekend and received mostly terrible reviews. But it's not Snyder's latest film we're concerned about, it's his next one: the Superman reboot. Even with Christopher Nolan overseeing the project, Snyder is still directing, and after seeing Sucker Punch, we're worried about what Snyder's clearly imaginative psyche will come up with for the Man of Steel. These are some of our red flags:

Sucker Punch is Zack Snyder's first break from adapting someone else's work, and either because he just wanted to go balls to the wall on his first auteur outing, or because he plainly needs the focus of pre-existing material, Sucker Punch is a glimpse into a hyperactive, overstimulated, geek-tunnel-vision mind. Which would be perfectly fine as a fun, disposable, style-over-substance action film. But for reasons surpassing comprehension, Snyder had to go and try to make it some feminist statement as well -- despite being woefully ill-equipped to do so -- and the result is an action movie that is not only derivative and juvenile, but an action movie that is a misguided failure on an intellectual level as well. Why do that to yourself, dude?

The world has lost one of its most iconic actresses -- Elizabeth Taylor died this morning at the age of 79. While she wasn't the most prolific actress later in life, she worked from a young age, won two Oscars, and appeared in some of the most epic or acclaimed films of all time, although they usually weren't both. In case you only know about her abstractly, as that actress who was married a bunch of times, here's our list of the ten Liz Taylor films everyone should see, for better or worse, and in chronological order. They're not the best, they're just the ten we recommend.

There aren't many new movies coming out this week, but at least you can finally enjoy all of those movies that came out last year that you didn't want to see to begin with.

Limitless is that old morality tale of a man who gets everything he's ever wanted, only to find those things quickly turning on him until everything's gone to hell and he's face-down in a pool of Russian loan shark blood while thieves power-saw into his safe full of genius pills. Which sounds over-the-top -- and Limitless most definitely is, through and through -- but the movie revels so spectacularly in being mindless, well-crafted, moral-free fun that, like Crank before it (it's even frenetically shot like Crank is), it works on a visceral level, hitting all those pleasure centers of the brain that only watching Bradley Cooper beat the hell out of 12 guys at once (in a $10,000 custom suit, mind you) can.

As someone who likes Matthew McConaughey as an actor but despises cheesy romantic comedies, I was thrilled to see him making another legal drama, his first since 1997. Not a Kate Hudson in sight! Of course, there aren't any surprises in sight, either, as this is possibly the least twisty, most straightforward legal thriller ever made. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, if all you want are the basics: a lawyer with a crisis of conscience, a client with a dark secret, and William H. Macy with a mustache. Hmm. Macy had a beard when he was in Sahara with McConaughey, and now the mustache. Does McConaughey have a "co-stars must have facial hair" clause in his contract?

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are like the geek community's Laurel and Hardy. After Spaced, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, putting them together in a movie -- even without Edgar Wright at the helm -- is like mixing up a batch of nerd Kool-Aid, and we're all gonna drink it. But while the Greg Mottola-directed Paul is packed with plenty of references to comic books, Comic-Con and science fiction, it's also a raunchfest worthy of the Superbaddirector. So if you're a nerd who likes dick jokes, you'll be McLovin' it, but otherwise it's just a fun road trip comedy that somehow manages to be less than the sum of its parts. Think of it as Fanboys with two Brits and an alien, and minus Kristen Bell.
