Find a Movie Theater
Believe it or not, the "Twilight" books and films are not the first horror or supernatural-themed works to feature a strong romance subplot.
More than a decade after Disney made a blockbuster animated film out of a folk tale about a young woman in ancient China who takes her father's place on the battlefield, a Hong Kong director is taking on the story of Hua Mulan with real actors.
Cult classics — like Ed Wood's films and "Showgirls" — are often defined by their flaws as much as their merits. "Boondock Saints," the 1999 film that achieved cult status on DVD and has now spawned a sequel, certainly had plenty of flaws.
