For fans of Harry Potter, it's crazy to think that the first film in the franchise, 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,' came out 10 years ago.

It's even more mind-boggling to see the three young stars now, poised and grown up, when it seems like just yesterday they were babies. It's especially charming in this new 'Harry Potter' DVD featurette about the last 10 years, which includes an initial screen test involving tiny Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint in a scene from the first movie.

Parents just don't understand! In Alexander Payne's new movie 'The Descendants,' his first since 2004's 'Sideways,' George Clooney plays a dad who's pretty clueless.

His teenage daughter is the one to finally tell him that his wife, injured in a boating accident and still in the hospital, has been cheating on him.

In this first trailer, Clooney struggles to be a "single" dad to his young daughters after their mother gets hurt -- that is, until he finds out the truth.

The Hottest 'X-Men' Movie Mutant Hook-Ups

The 'X-Men' comics are known for excessively steamy hook-ups; pretty much every mutant has gotten down with every other mutant. They're very incestuous like that.

And in the new film, 'X-Men: First Class,' those frisky mutants are no different. There are flirtations and smooches between quite a few different pairings -- most notably a near-miss between blue teens Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) and Beast (Nicholas Hoult).

The prior movies in the franchise ('X2,' 'Wolverine,' 'X-Men: The Last Stand') have also had some notable sexy scenes. For mutants, they sure have basic human hormones.

We've listed some of our top 'X-Men' movie hook-ups, romances and flirting below. (More like the "seX-Men," am I right? Ergh. Never mind.)

Any good comic book fan should know at this point that a movie version of their favorite story is going to take some liberties. By now, it's disappointment that simply comes with the territory. (Looking at you, 'Watchmen.') Along these lines, purists are raging about 'X-Men: First Class' before it even hits theaters.

And they're not all wrong. The film, a prequel about the young mutants' beginnings in the 1960s, is wildly different from the storylines in the comics. Though it alludes to the earlier films ('X-Men: The Last Stand' and 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine'), it doesn't abide by them. The story is altered enough to make any 'X-Men' fan gasp out loud in the theater. (As this one did!)

Here are five HUGE differences between the comic books and 'X-Men: First Class.'
