Charlize Theron Continues Her Bad Bitch Streak

March 12th, 2017 By Krysta Fitzpatrick

I’ve been loving Charlize Theron since the 90’s when she was in that movie 12 Days in the Valley, but over the past few years she’s really come through and taken the role as the top bad bitch in Hollywood.

Back in 2015, she basically made film history as Furiosa in Mad Max: Fury Road, an intensely feminist action film where she challenged beauty, feminine, masculine, and even ability stereotypes. This summer she’s back with Atomic Blonde, another action movie starring Charlize as like a female James Bond, if James Bond was like 50 times cooler.

Game Review: Space Marine

September 20th, 2011 By hecklerspray staff

The Games Workshop has stood as a shining beacon in town centres around the world as gathering spots for nerds, geeks and every available derisory word we can think of.

We don't feel bad saying that because some of us hecklerspray writers (cough ahem) were included in that ?nerdy? few who devoted far too much time to the table top franchise [You’re all perverts – Ed.].

For a number of years, table-top games have dared to jump from dice to the 21st century with several releases such as Space Hulk, Dawn of War, Fire Warrior but to little success except for inside pre-existing fan bases. Developer Relic Entertainment should however buck that trend with Space Marine, a gratifyingly violent third-person shooter/hack-n-slash combo that even non Games Workshop collectors can enjoy.

Lady GaGa Accused Of Stealing From The Corpses Of Japan

June 28th, 2011 By Mof Gimmers

Lady Gaga has been praised for raising awareness for relief efforts in sorting Japan out after the dreadful tsunami that struck the country down. However, like the world’s most weirdly dressed graverobber, she’s been accused of pocketing a load of money that should’ve gone to blighted country.

Less Bad Romance and more bad finance. Sorry. That’s easily the worst joke we’ve ever written.

Anyway, there’s some federal class action lawsuiting going on which is pointing at Gaga and saying that she’s jacked up the shipping costs on the “We Pray for Japan” wristbands she was flogging and keeping a portion of the profits herself, despite saying that all proceeds would go to directly to relief efforts. In fairness, she has a very expensive wardrobe to pay for. Surely Japan doesn’t mind?

Top 10 Most Ridiculous Die Hard Scenes

September 1st, 2010 By Kris Silver

With Sly Stallone’s bizarre announcement that he’d like Bruce Willis to appear as a villain in The Expendables 2 (because apparently flogging a dead horse once just isn’t enough) we here at Hecklerspray decided to man up and have ourselves a good, ol’ fashioned Die Hard marathon, to re-acquaint ourselves with one of our favourite action movie icons.

But something troubled us deeply, Die Hard, Die Hard 2: Die Harder, Die Hard 3: Die Hard With a Vengeance and Die Hard 4.0: Life Free or Die Hard, the scenes seemed to be a lot more ridiculous than we remembered. Happily this meant that we can bring you the top 10 most ridiculous scenes from the Die Hard series.

Be prepared for explosions, gravity defying stunts and an old man who’s harder than the nails in his coffin in this summer’s most action packed, critically acclaimed and hotly anticipated Hecklerspray top 10!

Top 7 Action Heroes You Could Probably Beat In A Fight

August 7th, 2012 By David Schwartz

Some movie action heroes really don't cut the mustard. They may be able to talk the talk. But when it comes to walking the walk, they are a drunken, one-legged tramp with a bad limp, short arms and an itchy arse.

They are all mouth and no trousers. Or as our sweet old grandma used to say, "they are all fart and no shit." Anyway, you get the idea. They're the action heroes in film that you know in the real world would not stand up to much. In fact, without the CGI and the body double they are nothing.

Now, movies are all about pretend. We understand that. But there are limits, right? There is a point when your imagination stands up and says 'wait a minute'. And here at hecklerspray we feel it is our duty to expose such charlatans. For the good of mankind, of course. Oh, and if any of the following want to question it, we will be waiting outside. Bring it on!

Behold, the Not-So-Magnificent Seven…
