I was surprisingly entertained by the first one, and thankfully, this sequel looks to be just as good. I&#8217;m also a bit surprised that we&#8217;ve arrived at a point where Guns N&#8217; Roses is considered age-appropriate for a kids&#8217; movie. Anyhow, the same silly humor continues with the added bonus of an over-the-top Antonio Banderas dressed up as a pirate. I&#8217;m not planning to watch this in theaters, but will more likely give it a spin on Blu-ray.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wt-video aligncenter\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e9awLSibQ80?wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<h2>&#8216;Hot Tub Time Machine 2&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>Be warned that this Red Band trailer contains lots of adult language and is quite explicit. Probably more shocking is that anyone thought audiences needed a sequel to Steve Pink&#8217;s time-traveling comedy. I don&#8217;t know about everyone else, but the lack of John Cusack, and to a lesser degree the very cute Lizzy Caplan, makes me want to avoid this. On that note, however, the stupid preview managed to get a few decent chuckles out of me, daring me to watch the whole thing. Damn! I&#8217;m renting, for sure.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wt-video aligncenter\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IxNC7IEDAnQ?wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<h2>&#8216;Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>Five years too late, Ben Stiller reprises a role that neither made him a star nor furthered his career to any great degree. Rather, this third and hopefully final installment in the &#8216;Night at the Museum&#8217; franchise keeps it on life-support while also continuing to make Stiller relevant for younger audiences. Aside from moving the plot from New York to merry old London, Shawn Levy&#8217;s film looks like it&#8217;s just recycling the same storyline, but with more museum pieces coming to life and lots and lots of CGI action. I&#8217;ll wait for the movie on Blu-ray with very mild interest. <\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wt-video aligncenter\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TTDtN0LJf-I?wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<h2>&#8216;Dumb and Dumber To&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s either a sad sign of our times or a good omen for the movie&#8217;s success, but this trailer made me laugh more than the others above. Or perhaps I&#8217;m developing some really bad taste, which is all the more worrying. Either way, this continuation to Harry and Lloyd&#8217;s misadventures might actually be entertaining. <\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wt-video aligncenter\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dmNddThxi4c?wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<p><em>For more of the latest movie trailers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/latest-trailers\/\">check out our trailers page<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does Hollywood know how to make anything other than sequels anymore?
