Paper Heart DVD Review

by David Scarborough

Paper Heart is probably one of the kookiest, honest and unconventional stories about love you are likely to find on the DVD shelf this Valentine’s Day. If, like us, the sight of Sandra Bullock or Matthew McConaughey gurning on a DVD cover leaves you with the uncontrollable urge to be violently ill, then this is [...]

Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs – DVD Review

by David Scarborough

Just because Pixar is flavour of the month, it’d be wrong to assume that all other animated movies are simply half-arsed mismatched buddy capers. Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs is that rare animated breed that happens to be as enjoyable for the drooling infant hordes as it is for the stupid parents who take [...]

by David Scarborough

We’ve seen it and its hard not to realise what the main attraction of this current horror remake Sorority Row is – the ladies. With the DVD and Blu-ray released this week we’ve been given some exclusive pictures of the girls along with our review. Not straying far from the gratuitous nature of the original [...]

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 – Blu-ray Review

by David Scarborough

The quality of John Travolta’s output can usually be attributed to the amount of facial hair he attaches around his dialogue hole. Face/Off was ace/clean shaven; Swordfish was fairly good with his little happy trail and Battlefield Earth was a cesspool of sci-fi gobbledygook and ZZ Top beards. So with his German porno moustache, you [...]

Terminator Salvation – Blu-ray Review

by David Scarborough

Thanks to some unfortunate incident called Charlie’s Angels, the regrettably named McG has been tarred with the same brush as his peers Brett Ratner and Uwe Boll. In fact, his handle on the Terminator story turned out to be a surprisingly decent entry into the muscular Arnie franchise. McG knew he had much to prove, [...]

Moon – Blu-ray Review

by David Scarborough

Warning: Brace yourself for a sickening display of cinematic affection. As far as movies based on lunar missions go Moon is up there with the best of them. With only one man and a computer voiced by Kevin Spacey, this is a film that blows the dust away from the sci-fi genre. Warning: Brace yourself [...]

Sunshine Cleaning – DVD Review

by David Scarborough

The concept of two sexy young women scrubbing the brain fragments off of a bathroom floor might sound to you like some niche Japanese Manga porn. Unfortunately it’s only another dysfunctional family indie drama. Sunshine Cleaning has the indie genre down pat; colourful titles, top actors, interesting backdrop and troubled characters. In fact, it is [...]

Night at the Museum 2 – DVD Review

by David Scarborough

Night at the Museum 2 isn’t a film content with itself. When it isn’t vying for the title of most irrelevant sequel, it decides to take a trip to Ben Stiller’s house for a mass celebrity circle jerk. This isn’t just an excuse to make a mundane sequel, but for a bunch of overpaid comedians [...]

We’re looking at two releases here at Hecklerspray this week; the new Jack Black/Michael Cera Neanderthal comedy Year One and a Blu-ray release of the much maligned lizard dump Godzilla.
