Following the enormous success of our first edition of The Band-Aid you knew a second chapter just had to be written.

The concept is simple: we take a disappointing movie and figure out five things that could have been done to improve upon it.

When Johnson & Johnson sends up a cease and desist letter, I guess we will change it to The Adhesive Bandage.
