Playing the Name Game
Fall movies' misleading titles -- How the storylines of ''Lakeview Terrace'' and ''The Family That Preys'' could better match their monikers
Baffled by this fall's bounty of vaguely generic movie titles, we boldly suggest some plot tweaks of our own.
LAKEVIEW TERRACE
What it is: Tense Samuel L. Jackson drama about interracial marriage.
What it should be: Charming Emma Thompson period romance about crumpets
and teatime.
THE FAMILY THAT PREYS
What it is: Tyler Perry movie starring Alfre Woodard and Kathy Bates as
friendly matriarchs.
What it should be: Wes Craven movie starring Robert Englund and Lance
Henriksen as bloodsucking vampire brothers.
BODY OF LIES
What it is: CIA thriller with Leonardo DiCaprio as terrorist-tracking
operative Roger Ferris.
What it should be: Cinemax-ready thriller with Jenna Jameson as heavily
tattooed serial killer Cassie Fandango.
ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO
What it is: Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) make a
pornographic movie.
What it should be: Actually, thinking about it, in this case the title
is pretty darned accurate.
