March 28th, 2010






When hiring movies, be wary of hiring sequels. Because generally in my opinion they let you down, are hard to sit through and can never be as good as the first one.
A few good things to look out for are:

a) are any of the original actors appearing in the sequel? if the answer is no then put the DVD back on the shelf and try asking the fat guy behind the counter for some advice on new releases.

b) have you heard of the sequel? if you walk in and say "wow i didn't know they made a sequel to Point Break?" then you can probably assume it sux more than walking barefoot through kings cross.

c) what section is the sequel in? if the sequel appears in the 3 day hire section then it's a big sign that it may have never have lasted more than a week the overnight hire department for good reason.

d) What is the title of the sequel? if the title contains any of these terms then you know it's destined for an early grave - "reloaded" "i still know what you did..." "cruise control" and the list is too long.

Anyway i hope with these tips you are able to steer clear of hiring the dreaded sequel, however remember that there are always exceptions to any rule. For example i'm a fan of the classic number after the original title, lethal weapon 2, 3, and 4. Or Beverly Hills Cop, 1 and 2. But again they pass the above guidelines, they still have the original actors and were often bigger budget than the first.

The Second SBC comp on Sunday had all the great makings of a good sequel, the same stars, the same format the same people sponsoring it. The only problem was the waves they were, shocking! lets hope the third installment does a little better.
