Q: The opening scenes for "X-Men" and "X-Men: First Class" are identical, despite being filmed 10 years apart. Did they redo it shot for shot for the second film, or did they enhance the footage from the first one?

The first "X-Men" film was released in 2000 and pitted an aged Magneto and Charles Xavier against each other. "X-Men: First Class" (2011) tells how they became friends before becoming enemies. Both films start with the same scene, of Magneto as a boy in a Nazi concentration camp.

The second film's scene was a nearly shot-for-shot remake of the first. I say nearly because, in "First Class," this scene introduces a new character, Sebastian Shaw (played by Kevin Bacon).

Q: When will "The Hunt for Red October" play on TV again? It's been years since I remember seeing it.

No one has any plans to air "The Hunt for Red October" (1990) in the next few weeks, but if you just wait a while, chances are you'll see it again.

It's understandable that you feel like the late-Cold War classic should just be on TV all the time, because it often is.

It's one of those movies that is dependably popular and re-watchable -- the kind of movie cable networks like to buy the rights for and play repeatedly, all over the schedule.

Nashville, on ABC
