Blu-ray Review – The Social Network

by David Scarborough

The internet is full of dicks (hecklerspray excluded, of course). Just take a look around: there’s that kid over there, blogging about his pathetic existence; that tweeting celebrity, moaning about their insufferable riches; and what about Justin Bieber? Ergh. The internet is a horrible cesspit of words and pictures, never more aptly demonstrated than in [...]

DVD Review: Buried

by David Scarborough

Plenty of the rich and fabulous have been buried in recent memory: Diff’rent Strokes actor, Gary Coleman, stroking kids musician, Michael Jackson and one of those Corey kids from the ‘80s. Yet, it’s hard to imagine anyone whose managed to do it in such a captivating way as Ryan Reynolds in the suffocating thriller, Buried. [...]

Film Review: Paul (That’s The One With Simon Pegg And The New Jar Jar Binks In It)

by hecklerspray staff

Everyone knows who Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are right? You know, there the guys who beat the crap out of zombies with pool cues to Queen’s ‘Don’t stop me now’ and then had a shootout in a supermarket with Timothy Dalton. You know, Timothy Dalton! Him out of that James Bo- nevermind. Ahh, so [...]

Film Review: Just Go With It

by Limara Salt

What is the point of Adam Sandler? Sure, there was a time when his mongrel-like face, annoying laugh and humour as subtle as getting diarrhoea in a library was kind-of-okay and sorta charming, but now he’s officially gone too far. That manchild routine may have been acceptable in the ’90s, but it’s 2011 and mass [...]

DVD Review: Eat Pray Love

by Justrestingmyeyes

Sometimes it’s hard to be a woman. There’s all that mucking about with howling at the moon once a month, either unsupported or badly scorched boobs, the constant struggle to be heard within an oppresive patriarchal society, and to quote Bernard Black, oh, the dancing! But then again, sometimes it’s hard to be a thunderously [...]

Film Review: True Grit

by Limara Salt

Oh no! Here comes another Hollywood hack remaking a classic that doesn’t need to be made. Whatever happened to the original stories that used to litter our cinemas? John Wayne must be rolling in his grave blah blah blah…etc etc. If this is the dim view you take on The Coen Brothers’ adaptation of Charles [...]

The Other Guys – Blu-ray Review

by David Scarborough

It was only a matter of time until Mark Wahlberg embraced the fact that he was fast turning into bumbling platypus that Tinsletown pointed and laughed at. Firstly, he had the indignity of dubbing himself ‘Marky Mark,’ affiliating himself with the hideously named Funky Bunch, starring in numerous so-so movies (under the guise of serious [...]

HecklerPlay: Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Live At London Troxy

by Matthew Laidlow

To say expectation was high for the return of Godspeed You! Black Emperor was a massive understatement. This year saw the band come out of a hiatus lasting seven years to start performing live again. Further UK live dates have followed their headlining appearance at All Tomorrows Parties with more touring for fans in the [...]

Salt: Blu-ray Review and Exclusive Clip

by David Scarborough

Salt – it’s the stuff of legends. It’s that thing you put on chips. That substance your doctor tells you not to have too much of. You can even occasionally find it in quaint blue sachet, nestled between your crisps. Angelina Jolie has a lot to live up to. Jumping into her latest action-heroine role, [...]

Eastenders Spoilers: Lacking In Very Exciting Tram Crashes

by Matthew Clifton

It’s the biggest, most exciting week ever!…on Coronation Street. But what’s going on in the square? And how much does it involve tawdry criminal activity that you could never actually imagine anyone doing? Let’s see… Well, Stacey and Ryan are still “fooling around”, as your dad might say, but things are getting dangerous as mental [...]
