MULTI-NAMED APOSTLES

2: The only time this apostle also called Thaddeus and Lebbaeus is recorded speaking in the New Testament, John identifies him as “not Iscariot.”
4: This apostle who shares his name with “the Zealot” is referred to in the New Testament by both the Aramaic and Greek words for “rock.”
6: Luke calls this other gospel writer by the name of an Israelite tribe.
8: When first told about the Messiah by Philip, this patron saint of the Armenian Apostolic Church wondered “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?”
10: The identity of this apostle’s twin sibling has been lost to history.

TEEN MOVIE ORIGINS

3: “Easy A,” based on this Hawthorne novel, stars Emma Stone as a high school girl whose reputation takes a hit over rumors of promiscuity.
6: “Not Another Teen Movie” recreates the “turn the ugly girl into a prom queen” plot device from “She’s All That,” which in turn was an adaptation of this George Bernard Shaw play.
9: This Alicia Silverstone movie sets Jane Austen’s novel “Emma” in Beverley Hills in the mid-’90s.
12: “Ten Things I Hate About You” sets this Shakespeare play in a modern high school, where Bianca cannot date until her misanthropic sister Kat finds a boyfriend.
15: In “She’s the Man,” a reinterpretation of this Shakespeare play, Amanda Bynes plays a girl who dresses as a guy to get close to a guy, but the guy’s girlfriend falls in love with him/her, and hijinks ensue.

This was a much better day for me, especially the second category (I got 4 of the 5 there). I probably would have guessed the 6-pointer as well, but I still play much too conservatively.

Scores:

Jeanie’ll have the rest of this week; I’ll be back next week!
