Umphrey's still pleasing

Worth while movie sequels

There’s no point in arguing with studios’ obsessive turnout of sequels – established successful titles are safe and likely to bring audiences back in theaters, but in a summer with a new “Hulk” reboot and a very aged “Indiana Jones,” you sometimes wonder why movies that might actually deserve sequels don’t always get a number two.
