From what I can tell, these recent movie releases have the following things in common:
1. Expensive Flash Web sites (1HP is the nicest), which is good because at least there are a few Web developers getting highly paid
2. Death stalks everywhere as if Armageddon was really in the wings.
3. They all feature one sad actor who needs a comeback but probably won’t get one like John Travolta did 10 years ago.
4. They all look pretty fascinating thanks to their high production values, but also their focus on death and old, sad actors that I used to like.
