The Best of the Summer's Small Budget Films

I know it's been hammered home before, but you're just gonna have to grin your little grin and continue to hear it, because seriously, it's harder to ignore than that one chick who's on her way to the clink, I refuse to link to her (editors note: but we don't!). If you like blockbuster sequels and remakes with budgets the size of modest national space programs, you make sure an' buckle up, 'cause this is your summer.
A quick review? Well, we've already gotten the capstones to those web-crawly and Johnny Depp-subsisting-on-scenery-alone trilogies out of the way, not to mention that other, green one; we're about to get pounded by an impossibly star-studded sequel to a remake and a second helping of slowscarysexpain -- but that ain't the half of it. Witness: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Evan Almighty, Live Free or Die Hard, Harry Potter and the Order Of The Phoenix, The Bourne Ultimatum, Rush Hour 3, Halloween, Resident Evil: Extinction ... shoot, man -- they're even doing a monumentally crazy-looking Underdog retread. And there's one more I'm not mentioning, I just know it. Hem-haw. Oh, well. I'm sure it'll come to me.
