Second Chance: MacGruber

Stephen O'Nion
March 4, 2015

MacGruber: making life-saving inventions out of household materials. How many films feature a primary antagonist falling to their death? Die Hard, sure. The Return of the King, check. GoldenEye, there’s...

Second Chance: Keira Knightley

Rachel Brook
February 7, 2015
Features, Nostalgia, Second Chance
Over the years, negative assessments of Keira Knightley’s acting abilities have included the phrases ‘woeful’ and ‘so bloody awful it hurts my eyes’, with many critiques specifically focussing on the...

Second Chance: Buried

Patrick Taylor
December 18, 2014

90 minutes in a box. That is one way to describe Buried, directed by Rodrigo Cortes and starring the much-maligned Ryan Reynolds. As the title implies, the film centres upon Paul (Ryan Reynolds), a US...

Second Chance: X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Bertie Archer
November 23, 2014

Why is X-Men Origins: Wolverine considered the bastard child of the blockbusting X-Men? Although it is far from the best X-Men film available, there is nothing to suggest that Origins needs relegating from...

Second Chance: Jurassic Park 3

Andrew Daley

Plagued by the release date being postponed for a year, and the first film in the successful Jurassic Park franchise to not be helmed by the acclaimed Steven Spielberg, it’s little wonder that the most...

Second Chance: The Help

Rachel Brook
October 21, 2014
