Alan Rickman, the enormously talented (and dead sexy) actor who plays Severus Snape, has a new movie opening this week: ‘Bottle Shock’. Here’s what it’s about:

What do you think – good? Worth a Netflix at least? By the way, you know what’s NOT worth a Netflix (and I found this out the hard way) is “Be Kind Rewind.” We had to turn it off about 30 minutes in, it was that bad. Horrible, horrible movie.
