In another Heckler not-so-exclusive, we review the latest tent-pole blockbuster.
Review – Lady Rizo
Lady Rizo is delightfully competent in her delivery and deservedly confident in her vocal range; able to sashay from diva to comedienne on the turn of a dime.
Review – Lindsay Webb
Adelaide Comedy puts shows on every week of the year, and new material night gives comics a chance to hone their craft. You might get as many flat-liners as funnies, but if you’re willing to take a punt you’ll also get some real gems from a solid roster of comedians.
Review – Much Ado About Nothing
The screenplay, as written, is already funny, but in concert with Joss Whedon’s usual sense of humour it’s even funnier still.
Review – Sugartits
Bourgeois and Maurice strike exactly the right balance between light entertainment and cultural critique.
Review – Cassandra Wilson
Cassandra Wilson has won accolades from all over for her talents as a crossover artist, and no one is in any doubt of her talents as a singer and composer. But she is also a gracious host, a sublime entertainer and a wonderful guide to the worlds of jazz, blues, country, folk and pop.
Review – Sweet Dreams
Griffiths is not merely a musician capable of making a song his own, but an actor able to embody a character; a performer able possess a stage and seamlessly carry an audience back-and-forth between heartfelt and hilarious.
Review – Clandestine Childhood
Clandestine Childhood offers a unique perspective on a dark period of Argentine history, but keeps a small focus to prevent those elements from overwhelming the narrative. It’s a good movie, all round, and if it hasn’t made much of a splash since its release its still well worth taking a look at.
Review – Operation E
The filmmaker achieves much with what would be a very small budget, which only limits a few scenes in their scope. The film provides a wonderful snap shot into many different parts of Columbian life, contrasting the hardships of the jungle with the various forms of city life.

Review – Pony Takes a Powder
Mojo Juju is an all round class act: this is a perfect date night activity, or dress-up event.
Review – The Place Beyond the Pines
This is art-house thriller territory, a three-act epic by the director of the somber Blue Valentine.
Review – Snitch
Casual moviegoers may line up at box offices to watch another action movie with The Rock, but this one’s pretty sparse with the explosions and heavy on the plotting and family drama.
