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 [...]

Movie Review: Monsters

by David Schwartz

It takes a special skill to turn a movie about 150 foot killer squids from space walking the Earth so bum-numbingly dull. But rookie director Gareth Edwards somehow manages it.

MacGruber: Blu-ray Review

by David Scarborough

Saturday Night Live has been responsible for a barrage of chuckleheads over the years. But for every success there’s been a failure as miserable as a thousand Night at the Roxbury’s. Will Ferrell, Bill Murray, Mike Myers and Tina Fey all went on to bigger and better things, while Dana Carvey, Jon Lovitz and Chris [...]

by hecklerspray staff

Once upon a time there was a cuddly old man called Lou (Frank Zangella) who looked like Santa and just happened to run a big bank on Wall Street. He was still cuddly and lovable though. He had a protégé called Jake (Shia LaBeouf) whose dad died when he was little, meaning that he was [...]
