Inglourious Basterds Nurmbar Won At Weekend Borx Orifice
You can say a lot of things about Quentin Tarantino - mainly about his great big stupid chin if you like - but don't say he never learns. Remember Valkerie, the movie where Tom Cruise tries to kill Hitler but bollocks it all up? Not a great big hit at the weekend box office. But Inglourious Basterds, the movie where Brad Pitt tries to kill Hitler and then does, is a super duper number one hit at the weekend box office. Or maybe it's because everyone really wanted to see what Eli Roth is like as an actor. No? No, we didn't think so either.

Creased or Folded? hecklerspray Tells You the Way it is
Thumbs up and down for this week. Folded: Inglourious Basterds (nothing like you’re expecting) World’s Strongest Man on Fiver (ever seen a human being go pop before? Well, you might on here) Revisit Dance Wiv Me (a year on and the video is still hilarious: Dizzee Rascal at the school disco, Calvin Harris as the trendy sixth form tutor behind the bar. All that’s missing is Dizzee’s dad showing up and dragging him home for not loading the dishwasher) Linen (best fabric ever. You can sit around in it all day; it’s supposed to be creased) Rick Edwards (okay we got it wrong before, this guy is pretty funny) Creased: Inglourious Basterds (nothing like you’re expecting) Evacuate The Dancefloor by Cascada (‘evacuate’ should never be in any song. It makes you think of evacuating your bowels. No-one wants to do that when they’re dancing) Processed meat (this week’s cancer giver. Guess that means those of us who grew up on the stuff in our lunchboxes are screwed then. Cheers) Lack of subtitles on some video games (turning the volume up isn’t an option. We don’t all live in our parents' house, some of us have angry neighbours with too much time on their hands and easily access matches to worry about) Men over 40 in mod cars (it’s always either a Focus or Impreza and never, ever, with the original paintwork)

Top 5 Future Movie Letdowns of 2009
It is as inevitable as day turning into night, Gordon Ramsay swearing and every odd numbered Star Trek movie being rubbish* – the summer blockbuster season is always ripe with disappointment. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news here but it’s true; this year has already proven that! - hello Wolverine, hello Terminator: Salvation - but there is hope and hype on the horizon - the year isn’t over yet. So here at hecklerspray we have decided to compile a list of films that you shouldn't be looking forward to, no matter what anybody says. *Proven wrong this year so the list is fallible.

Film Foam: Cannes, Tarantino, Drag Me To Hell
All eyes have been at Cannes this week and if the sight of the bikini clad sleaze wasn’t enough to draw attention to the town, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie swanned in to put the place on the front page. Who cares about films when you can have really, really, really good looking people around… Meanwhile Terminator Salvation has been seen and received the critical mauling of someone using a phased-plasma rifle in the forty watt range. Also everyone is talking about the new internet site that tells you when to piss in the middle of a movie. Seemingly people are overlooking that fact that it spoils major points in films and are hailing it as some sort of revelatory bladder-relieving miracle. Back to Cannes though for the big news of the week…
