Meeting the wrestler formally known as Stone Cold Steve Austin feels like being back at school again, waiting outside the headmaster’s office to be summoned in to talk.

Except we don’t remember our headmaster having the ability to knock our nose to the back of our head with a look. Steve Austin is about our height, but with the muscle mass of a bungalow attached to each arm. Shaking his hand, it soon becomes apparent how brittle we are compared.

Instantly his southern accent and smile are disarming. He has constant stories of the movie biz, his wrestling career as the…

‘Pain has a new name’ says the tagline, although, perhaps the film shouldn’t be so self-deprecating on the cover art. Damage, after all, does what you expect.

Steve Austin stars as John Brickner – a man released from prison and on a trail for redemption. Unfortunately, redemption for his past act of violence comes at a price – kicking the crap out of everyone. It’s not the most ingenious set-up, and appears to be a surprisingly lowbrow effort from the writer of  The Cooler, but this film is all about walls with teeth, so who cares?

It’s hard not to feel jealous of Ricky Gervais, since he seems to have Hollywood in the palm of his hand. Not content with appearing in any old cinematic guff swimming out our shores, one cheeky snaggletooth smile and he is whisked away to star in… well, any old guff swimming out of the US.

Alas, the man from sunny Reading has managed to attract a whole host of star-wattage toward his latest project – The Invention of Lying. Taking on co-writing and co-directing duties, not to mention starring in the film, you may think that this film is just a…

When America’s favourite yellow family The Simpsons (sorry liver-diseased The Johnsons of Massachusets) first appeared on our screens back in the 90s, who could have predicted that they would sustain twelve long seasons (and beyond…)?

Yet while this series packs in the laughs, the guest stars and the characters we all know and love, there is something that is starting to smell a bit off  in Springfield.

Here at Hecklerspray, we love Vin Diesel, we really do. Maybe it’s because he looks like the love child of a polar bear and Chuch Norris, it could be because his voice can cut through a can of baked beans or perhaps it’s because he has to kiss Michelle Rodriguez so we don’t have to.

One thing it definately isn’t, though, is his choice of films!

 Returning to the Fast and Furious franchise, all the cast seem keen and eager to get back to where they began (i.e. obscurity) and get in on the action(i.e. pay cheque).

Going into the fourth installment (which,…

Entourage has been described as the male Sex and the City.

Strange, considering that Entourage has more wit, talent and imagination in one line of dialogue than Sex and the City had in its entirely overlong, over-hyped, self-indulgent, commercialised, horse-faced, mass-menopausal film.

If you’re not up to speed, the plot basically centres around Hollywood A-lister Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) and his tag-alongs. ‘E’ (Kevin Connolly) is Vincent’s manager, Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) is his driver and Drama (Kevin Dillon) is his less successful acting brother. Together, along with the always-modest Ari (Vince’s agent - Jeremy Piven), they try to bag movie roles, women and a good time…

Delve into the underbelly of internet über-geekdom and you won’t be far away from the forum-dwelling hordes who bow down at the altar of one Joss Whedon.

Those inhabitants will tell you stories of how Firefly was cruelly and prematurely cancelled. Hope was on the horizon, as Whedon has stretched his hand down once again to those disciples and bestowed upon them a new gift – one that comes in the form of Eliza Dushku in a leather dominatrix outfit.

Dead Snow is a hilarious, gory and thrilling horror set in the Norwegian mountains with a group of students spending their Easter break fighting Nazi zombies.

Director Tommy Wirkola took the time to give us his top five favourite horror movies here and also took the time to answer some of our questions at the UK premiere at Channel 4’s Frightfest.
