There’s really nothing like the first time. But sometimes, a film’s sequel manages to get it right again, or be even better!

As any true film-lover knows, January is the month where studios purge themselves of movies that are too terrible to release during Oscar season, the summer blockbuster months, the holidays, or even just plain old springtime. You can imagine how thrilling this must be for someone born in the month of January. Needless to say, my birthday parties have been kept out of theaters.
