What's the only thing worse than a sequel? The only prospect worse than paying £10 at your local cinema to have your favourite movie ruined, forever. The answer has three words. Straight-to-video.
In the '90s, home release sequels became fairly common. You'd greet them with surprise at your local Blockbusters and then want to pull your eyeballs out when you took them home and watched them. They're probably called straight-to-dvd or straight-to-Blu-ray now, but they still exist.
With the announcement that Dolph Lundgren will be starring in Kindergarten Cop 2 (because of course), here are 21 absolute stinking sequels - the vast majority of which weren't even considered good enough for the cinema. How many of them have you watched?
1. American Pie Presents: Band Camp
2. American Pie Presents: Beta House
Maybe it's the Eugene Levy factor - just why did he keep starring in all the sequels?! - but we have weird...

Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin's daughter Bindi has come back into the spotlight, nearly seven years after her dad's death from a stingray piercing his chest -- and she is a smiling, beautiful 14-year-old girl.
The young actress is promoting her upcoming movie "Return to Nim's Island," where she plays a young castaway with an affinity for nature. The role was previously played by Abigail Breslin in the original "Nim's Island." Irwin also previously acted in "Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove."
Bindi says the nature-loving Nim was a perfect role for her.
"Nim is a little bit uppity but apart from that we are quite similar," she tells Adelaide Now. She also adds that her on-screen love interest Toby Wallace has "has less fishy breath than a sea lion."...

Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove (2010) is out this week on DVD, but, really, it deserved a better fate. The film is winsome and charming enough that it might have found a sizable family audience had it been released theatrically. For those counting such things, Escape from Pirate's Cove is actually the fourth Free Willy adventure. This new entry, out now from Warner Premiere, stars Bindi Irwin -- yes, that Bindi Irwin, daughter of the late Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, and the lead of her own show, Bindi the Jungle Girl (TV) -- as Kirra, an Australian pre-teen who goes to live with her grandpa Gus (Beau Bridge) in South Africa when her father falls ill. Gus runs a beat-up theme park that's seen far better days and is facing fierce competition from a rival park owner, Rolf (Stephen Jennings). His luck takes a turn for the better when a...

Yojimbo and Sanjuro (Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] If you are a fan of Akira Kurosawa you already know this is a box set worth the purchase and as I detailed in my review it lives up to expecatations. However, if you have yet to see a Kurosawa film then you couldn't choose a better couple of films to begin your journey. In terms of entertainment, Yojimbo and Sanjuro are easily two of Kurosawa's best films and even beyond entertainment, depending on the competition, I would put them up against the majority of his work. From the acting, directing, action, score and comedic levels these films hit on all cylinders and on Blu-ray they have never looked better. Fantastic Mr. Fox I am expecting to receive my review copy tomorrow since that's how Fox seems to do it, but no matter, this...

If you are a happy mutant (i.e. a daily reader of BoingBoing.net), you'll have experienced the awesomely bizarre, funky, danceable beats of Die Antwoord. Ninja (Waddy Jones) and Yo-Landi, who sing and rap in both English and Afrikaans, have become a literal Internet sensation since being exposed to the world on Bb via photographer Clayton Cubitt. Their videos are equally visually striking, especially "Enter the Ninja," which was co-directed by Rob Malpage (who was a cinematographer on the direct-to-video Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove, which stars Beau Bridges and Bindi Irwin).
Now that Die Antwoord are taking over, they've signed with Interscope and told Xeni Jardin exclusively that they are working on a film (no word if it's a doc or feature) and their next music video will be directed by fellow South African, District 9's Neill Blomkamp. They also met up with with David Lynch...
