sequels

I’m not anti-sequel but Pixar seems way more interested in doing them lately and the one movie that deserves a sequel, ‘The Incredibles’, is nowhere to be found on the roster. Anyway, per Disney-Pixar’s announcement, ‘Finding Dory’ is set to take place about a year after ‘Finding Nemo’, set along the California coastline, with a [...]

Trailer: Kick-Ass 2

by James Furbush on March 14, 2013

The best part of ‘Kick-Ass’ was far and away Chloe Moretz dishing out a dose of ass-whoop and calling people cunt. The sequel looks like its more or less treading similar ground. Hopefully, the movie won’t be as vile as the comic book sequel (supervillain gangrape and cutting heads off dogs, no thanks). In theaters [...]

Here’s the “official teaser” trailer for J.J. Abrams’ Trek reboot, Star Trek into Darkness. It’s full of action and excitement, but not much else in the way of story. As a first taste, this is probably the best way to do it because it certainly creates a lot of Oohs and Ahhs. Directed by JJ Abrams, [...]

Disney and Marvel have officially slotted Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man for November 6, 2015. That comes after The Avengers 2, as a point of reference, meaning Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne (aka, Wasp) could be introduced in any of the Marvel 2.0 movies before getting their own feature. Hopefully, if that’s the case, Marvel does it a [...]

Caine’s Arcade: The Sequel

by James Furbush on September 14, 2012

Just five months after Caine’s Arcade took the world by storm, Hollywood has already conjured up a sequel to the film inspired by the response of kids around the world. Filmmaker Nirvan Mullick is helping Caine kick off a Global Cardboard Challenge, where anyone can build something awesome out of cardboard and their imagination culminating [...]

Sequeltology!

by James Furbush on August 30, 2012

Grantland is holding a tournament to determine the greatest movie sequel of all time. The bracket is above, voting happens on their Facebook page. There’s one obvious, unavoidable conundrum within this bracket (at least to me): The Godfather: Part II is (arguably) the greatest American film ever made. It’s so much better than every other [...]

Here’s but a few trailers that hit the wires over the past few days while I was tied up covering Enterprise 2.0 for work. Taken 2 Liam Neeson’s Taken was one of the most unexpectedly dope action movies of the last five years. Anyway, good to see the most interesting man in the world was [...]

Not a joke. I’m fairly certain this is the worst idea in the entire history of Hollywood’s desire to make shitty sequels to decent movies.

Lazy Sunday 2

In case you missed it this weekend. Not as hilarious as the first, but then, few moments from the past decade of SNL were.

The Legend Continues

by James Furbush on May 16, 2012

Anchorman: The Legend Continues reunites the Channel 4 News Team as played by Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and David Koechner. The sequel takes place at the dawn of racial integration in the newsroom and the beginning of the 24-hour news cycle. You know something has reached the pop culture canon when there’s a [...]
