Last Film You Watched

Trainspotting (1996)

Watched it again for the first time in ages. Mainly as I couldn't remember if I liked it, therefore couldn't decide if I wanted to see the new one or not.

Well I do like it. It's bloody awesome. And now I can't wait to see the next one. And what a soundtrack.

Good post. Coming from Leith as I do the original film rouses several strong emotions in me. The accents were not authentic, it has to be said. And I could argue with some of the geography. Also, the film was not an accurate following of the book which is Welsh's finest work.

But it was made for Hollywood so none of these cavils are relevant. As a stand alone film it's brilliant.

The Beatles: Eight Days a Week. What a brilliant insight into the life of the fab four on tour. You can really see why they decided to knock the live shows on the head. Absolute bedlam!

Followed this up with A Life Less Ordinary (1997 I think...) as I fancied a bit more McGergor.

Was a massive fan if this movie in my mid/late teens so was happy that it's aged quite well. Awesome 90's soundtrack too.

It's a bit cheesy, a bit insane, but I still like it.

Cameron Diaz and directed by Danny Boyle, forgot about that film. Was ok though.

Another Irvine Welsh film I've just watched is 'The Acid House' -

'This anthology adapts three stories by Scottish cult author Irvine Welsh. Boab (Stephen McCole) is kicked off his football team and out of his parents' home, loses both his job and his girlfriend and finally meets God (Maurice Roëves) in a squalid pub. Nice guy Johnny (Kevin McKidd) marries pregnant near-stranger Catriona (Michelle Gomez), who starts a tawdry affair with their upstairs neighbor (Gary McCormack). On an acid trip, teen hooligan Coco (Ewen Bremner) trades bodies with a fetus.'

Absolutely off it's trolley!
Funniest of the three parts, was seeing a young Kevin McKidd (Dr Owen Hunt from Greys Anatomy) dancing!

Whilst I'll give Robert Carlyle credit for his general acting, his accents are atrocious. His attempt at scouse in 51st state is laughable.

I wanted to see it, but my wife, who was a serious Beatles fan in the day didn't fancy it. It got great reviews so
I'll have to get the DVD.

We went to see Lion the other day - don't know if it's out yet in Britain - and it was great if you like sad movies.
