In Defence of… Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart

It seems too easy to bash this girl; everyone seems to be jumping on board. In fact, it has become a meme to find things with more facial expressions than Kristen Stewart. Her sparkly companion, Robert Pattinson, receives criticism too but less for reasons that are unknown – perhaps it’s because of how openly he [...]




In Defence Of – The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy

in defence of the prequel trilogy star wars

Over the past few months, we here at HeyUGuys have offered up a number of arguments in defense of underestimated filmmakers, their flawed films and the trends that haunt Hollywood even to this day. Never, however, has a property been more deserving of a rebuttal than George Lucas’ Star Wars prequel trilogy – an alleged [...]




In Defence Of… Brighton Rock

Brighton Rock

“No thanks, let’s go and see that other one where Romeo and Juliet are garden gnomes”. Being turned down yet again, I concluded it was going to be impossible to persuade anyone to come and see Rowan Joffe’s remake of the British iconic classic, Brighton Rock.  When asking anyone if they wanted to go, the [...]

Whatever my views on the Armageddon director’s trademark Bayhem, there is another filmmaker who I often find myself supporting despite an overwhelming number of detractors. The man in question? None other than M. [...]




In Defence Of… Rubbish Comic Book Threequels

Superman 3

Having constructed a thorough and persuasive defence of the Master of Mayhem himself, Michael Bay, I now shift my attention to a topic at once broader and more problematic. Can the trend for inferior and poor comic book threequels be excused, forgiven, explained, or even challenged as a myth? Read on… I recognise that I am [...]




In Defence Of… Michael Bay!

Michael Bay

Some readers may be familiar with a show on the UK’s BBC Radio 5Live station on a Saturday morning, by the name of Fighting Talk. It is a sports quiz and involves a final tie-break round called “Defend the Indefensible”. Such is my cue for what I hope will become a regular-ish series of attempts [...]
