May Madness 2: The Return of the Rerun

One a day for all of May...

This is officially Round 2. The SECOND annual May Madness. This is May Madness: The Sequel.

And this got me thinking about sequels. They can be pretty good...or pretty awful. Interestingly enough, most good sequels don't stop there. They go on to form Trilogies. There is something about 3 that is better than 2. And let's face it...if you got a good thing going, you can squeeze a couple more million dollars out of it by rounding out a trilogy.

Home Alone 2. Pretty good. Home Alone 3 dropped Macaulay and...well....you didn't see it did you? Exactly.
Terminator 2 was historic. It was so good, nobody really even talks about Terminator 1. Just Terminator 2. I don't think I've seen either, actually.
Men in Black 2. Uhh....should have just left it alone with #1.

And then you have the Disney sequels. The blockbusting Disney motion pictures that come out in the theater have been known to come out with subsequent and very terrible sequels that you can only purchase in grocery stores. The animation is sloppy, I'm not sure there is any Disney-esque singing involved, and don't count on recognizing any of the voice-over actors. Ever heard of Lion King 2: The Return of Mufasa? You wouldn't have, unless you shop at Food Lion. What about "The Little Mermaid 3: Unda Da Sea Again!!" And what about "The Land Before Time 8"? Uh....yeah.

Some movies rightfully don't make for good sequels. For example, the movie "The One."

Oh, the madness.
