Happy 2008

Oscar night officially concludes the 2007 film year, meaning I can stop cramming my schedule with dreary award-bait (that's you, Atonement) and get back to the junk I'd rather be seeing (that's you, Catacombs). Postponed since December in the (futile) hopes of finding some more worthy entrants: a list of the top ten-ish sequels and remakes of the year, and maybe a few of the worst.

Here's what I got instead:

TOP TEN SEQUELS/REMAKES I liked:
Hostel Part II

TOP TEN SEQUELS/REMAKES I found enjoyable (a) or interesting (b) but with almost comically glaring flaws:
Resident Evil: Extinction
28 Weeks Later




TOP TEN SEQUELS/REMAKES that were well enough done but, you know, so?:
The Bourne Ultimatum
Interview
3:10 To Yuma
The Hills Have Eyes 2
Live Free or Die Hard
Ocean's Thirteen
Hannibal Rising

TRASH
Pirates of the Caribbean 3
Spider-Man 3

Wait 'til next year!
