The great new lot of movies coming out?

Cinema this year is strange to me. It seems that most of the movies that I am anticipating are the ‘franchise’ movies. There are so many sequels, trilogy conclusions, and movies being launched of TV series’ this year, that I can barely think of a NEW movie to see. Sure, there are a few things that pique my curiosity, but not enough to be like the old days (i.e. the days of little social life) where I knocked back 104 cinema trips in a year. Back then, if it was out, I’d seen it. Now I’d be lucky to go to 12 movies in a year. Of course, this year I’ve seen Hot Fuzz and absolutely loved it, but other than that, the list of the movies I’d like to see reads:
Live free or Die Hard, The Simpsons Movie, Harry Potter 5, Transformers, Sin City 2, Shrek the third, Oceans 13, Evan almighty, License to wed, I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry, Romulus my father, The Bourne Ultimatum, Pirates: at worlds end.
Only three movies in that are actually something new. So does this mean that once again, we are going through a cinematic era of ‘the franchise’, or is it just that my taste is getting really narrow? Worrying. This week I bought myself the latest ‘Empire’ but just didn’t see too many new movies getting good ratings. I used to aim to see new movies if they managed at 4 or 5 in empire, and that worked for me, but there just doesn’t seem to be much inspiration on the horizon.

I know there have been tons of sequels each summer for many years now, but this does indeed seem to be an extreme example ... One I'm looking forward to that's not is the Pixar flick "Ratatouille," which should just be hilarious
