The only exceptions I can think of are Indiana Jones, and possibly Rocky.
I say this because, having seen American Pies I and II, I'm really not hopeful that Jason Biggs is the next Harrison Ford.

I generally agree with your assessment, Atticus. Though I thought the 2nd American Pie was o.k. (not good but not awful), I do not have high hopes for this one, as I heard most of the female leads aren't in it and one of the guys is out too. While the movies are mostly about the guys' friendship, I'm not optimistic...
As for Indiana Jones, ANYTHING would have been an improvement over Temple of Doom... One of the worst cases of Hollywood nepotism by people not named Coppola ever!!! As I said before, I will have to come up with creative uses for that DVD when it comes out because, like Godfather III, I will NEVER watch it...
