2011- The Year of the Sequels!

       While I was looking up some upcoming films for this year, I couldn't help but notice that many of them were in fact sequels. It's very common for Hollywood to produce numerous sequels, prequels, and remakes whether they need to or not. Money, Money, Money is usually the mastermind behind this. This usually leads to the old saying "...sequels never live up to the original". Which in most cases is generally true. However, some sequels have surpassed their predecessors in critical and financial terms like The Dark Knight, Terminator 2, Toy Story 2 & 3, Lord of the Rings 2 & 3, The Godfather Part II, etc.

      Anyway, as I was saying earlier, TONS of sequels are coming out this year and I must admit I'm very excited. Here is a list of sequels, along with the release dates, coming out this year in case you want to check out some of them:

Scream 4- April 15
Fast Five( Fast and the Furious) - April 29
Hoodwinked Too- April 29
Pirates of the Caribbean 4- May 20
The Hangover Part II- May 26
Kung Fu Panda 2 - May 26
Cars 2- June 24
Transformers 3- July 1
Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Part II- July 15
