Oy with the sequels already! Don’t waste time on “Ghost Rider” or “Journey 2”
By Karilla Dyer | Feb. 20, 2012There are currently two sequels plaguing the box office this weekend. "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" and "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" are a reminder of how the film industry likes to cheapen even its best movies with unnecessary sequels and prequels. It's as if the first "Ghost Rider" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth" were not bad enough. Hollywood loves to dig an even deeper hole for itself with cringe-worthy sequels. I wish someone would make it stop.
