HecklerPlay Festival Preview: August

by Si Sharp

Ah, festivals. Possibly the best thing about living in Britain is that because the weather is so dreary most of the year we party like idiots as soon as the sun comes out. We used to have to either choose between about four festivals or go to Ibiza to combine hedonism and music. Now we [...]

Review: Batman Live @ MIF

by hecklerspray staff

Following on from the cultural apocalypse of The Manchester International Festival comes Batman Live; another intellectual tour-de-force which sees everyone’s favourite schizophrenic do battle with a bunch of villains for two-and-a-bit hours at the glamorously named Manchester Evening News Arena. It’s worth noting, straight-out-the-gate, that this isn’t really a story about The Dark Knight (old [...]

Movie Review: Transformers: Dark Of The Moon (Or, We Went To Watch Transformers 3 And Things Went Kaboom!)

by hecklerspray staff

Right lets cut to the chase, Transformers: Dark of the Moon has a crap script and the acting is, for lack of a better word, shit. Sorry Michael, but bear with us because you come off good in the end… It’s still got those bloody parents in it, it’s rife with dodgy racial stereotyping, the [...]

Film Review: Bad Teacher

by Justrestingmyeyes

Let’s get one thing straight. No-one, but no-one, likes a worthy teacher film. Nothing brings up the traditional blogger’s lunch of White Lightning and pocket fluff into a hecklersprayer’s gullet quicker than watching some earnest nonsense where some skinny blonde chick like Mickey Piffler changes the lives of a gang of murderous children simply through [...]

Film Review: Attack The Block

by Justrestingmyeyes

Britain’s had a rum old time when it comes to fictional alien invasions. They started early, with steampunk martians getting all up in our Victorian grills before idiotically sneezing themselves to their constituent pieces in War Of The Worlds. We had a bit of respite in the ’50s as the fashion in the alien travel [...]

Belated Easter Film Review – Hop

by Paul Pencott

We hope you all enjoyed Easter. But if you had to sit through the massively dispiriting ‘Hop’ you probably haven’t. We here at hecklerspray hate Russell Brand as much as the next man. We despise the huge gummy gap between his teeth and his top lip, we hate his misguided belief that ex-junkies are interesting [...]

Film Review- We Are What We Are (And You Can Win A Copy Too!)

by Si Sharp

When Jonathan Swift asserted the logic of cannibalism in his satirical essay ‘A Modest Proposal’, he suggested that the poor sell their children to the rich for food. In Jorge Michel Grau’s debut feature-length We Are What We Are the poor have already started eating themselves. This Mexican drama/horror focuses on a family whose principal [...]

DVD Review: Easy A

by David Scarborough

Rumours. Where would we be without rumours? Well, not here obviously, given that this website is fuelled by the gabbing mouths of someone-or-another, spouting amusing stories of vague interest about that person you tell everyone you hate but you secretly admire. Pathetic, aren’t they? Easy A deals with rumours. And with being a dirty skank. [...]

Russell Brand Still Can’t Act (Trailer For Arthur Remake Pretty Much Underlines The Point)

by Kris Silver

A new trailer for Russell Brand’s probably eagerly awaited latest film, a remake of Steve Gordon’s 1981 film Arthur, has been released, so we here at hecklerspray thought we’d take some time to take a peek and try to figure out what we can expect from the latest in a long line of Hollywood remakes [...]

Britney Spears ‘Hold It Against Me’ Video: DECODED

by Mof Gimmers

Britney Spears is making her millionth ‘comeback’, which is certain to make most of the world shrug and get on with its day, leaving those mentalist, fervent Britney devotees to foam at the mouth and hurried try to disembowel anyone who dare offer any criticism against their tragic heroine. And of course, there’s lot to [...]
