Alexander - a very brief review
Wednesday my nephew, 26 and niece, 24, got into town for Thanksgiving (their hometown is too far for a brief trip) and that night they took Son 2 to see Alexander.

Nephew said the movie was "incredibly bad." How bad? This bad:

With about 15 minutes left to go, the projection system broke. The screen went blank and the sound quit. After a few seconds, when the audience realized that it wasn't just a sudden gap between reels or the like, they clapped and cheered.

My intrepid kin ducked into the next screening room of the multiplex and saw the final minutes anyway. But they're not sure why.

Update, 11/27: I saw National Treasure today and give it a much more positive review.
