The film that effectively launched the star careers of Robert Carlyle, Ewan McGregor and Jonny Lee Miller, Trainspotting is a hard, barbed picaresque, culled from the bestseller by Irvine Welsh and thrown down against the heroin hinterlands of Edinburgh. Directed with abandon by Danny Boyle, it conspires to be at once a hip youth flick and a grim cautionary fable. McGregor, Lee Miller and Ewen Bremner play a slouching trio of Scottish junkies, Carlyle their narcotic-eschewing but hard-drinking and generally psychotic mate Begbie. In Boyle's hands, their lives unfold in a rush of euphoric highs, blow-out overdoses and agonising withdrawals (all cued to a vogueish pop soundtrack). Throughout it all, John Hodge's screenplay strikes a delicate balance between acknowledging the inherent pleasures of drug use and spotlighting its eventual consequences. In Trainspotting's world view, it all comes down to a choice between the dangerous Day-Glo highs of the addict and the grey, grinding consumerism of the everyday Joe. "Choose life", quips the film's narrator (McGregor) in a monologue that was to become a mantra. "Choose a job, choose a starter home... But why would anyone...
 The greatest movie ever?, 2009-12-03
This is probably the greatest movie I have ever seen. I don't say comments like that lightly, either. A complete powerhouse of emotion, humour, poetry, beauty, tragidy, music. Humanity laid bare. An absoloutly beautiful and exhillerating experience. Do not miss.

Offbeat Brilliance, 2009-04-12
This film has it all - sex, pathos, humour, wackiness and superb casting and music. The pedigree IS good and the execution is bob on for me. There is the requirement to suspend a little disbelief but that IS cinema. I watched this because I thought Sam Rockwell was super. Now I think he is Jesus. Great fun - had to watch it a 2nd time the following day and was not disappointed.

The Coen brothers make their finest thriller since Fargo with a restrained adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel. Not that there aren't moments of intense violence, but No Country for Old Men is their quietest, most existential film yet. In this modern-day Western, Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) is a Vietnam veteran who needs a break. One morning while hunting antelope, he spies several trucks surrounded by dead bodies (both human and canine). In examining the site, he finds a case filled with $2 million. Moss takes it with him, tells his wife (Kelly Macdonald) he's going away for awhile, and hits the road until he can determine his next move. On the way from El Paso to Mexico, he discovers he's being followed by ex-special ops agent Chigurh (an eerily calm Javier Bardem). Chigurh's weapon of choice is a cattle gun, and he uses it on everyone who gets in his way--or loses a coin toss (as far as he's concerned, bad luck is grounds for death). Just as Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), a World War II veteran, is on Moss's trail, Chigurh's former colleague, Wells (Woody Harrelson), is on his. For most of the movie, Moss remains one step ahead of his nemesis. Both men are cleve...
 Robbed of 2 hours of my life!!, 2010-02-10
What a waste of time this film is..OK, so it may have won awards but that was probably the first warning sign I should have noticed. How anyone could have given this film a best picture Oscar, or whichever one it got, I will never know. The storyline just doesn't ever get going, it simply stumbles along from scene to scene with no major point to it. The characters in the film seem too shallow to make us care for them and that makes it hard to want to keep watching when it also has a very weak storyline. The ending also deserves special mention, being a contender for worst ever as it gives absolutely no closure to the remaining characters stories. After watching this film you will no doubt feel the same way as everyone I have discussed this film with so far and feel that you have just wasted the last 2 hours of your life! NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN...SIMPLY A POOR FILM.

With hairy warts, a stern-looking unibrow and one extremely protruding buck-tooth, Nanny McPhee is a wonderfully comedic substitute for Mary Poppins in this entertaining family fantasy. By loosely adapting Christianna Brand's Nurse Matilda children's books of the 1960s, Oscar-winning screenwriter Emma Thompson (Sense and Sensibility) has also given herself the plum role of Nanny McPhee, who can tame even the most unruly children with a tap of her magic walking stick. Her latest challenge is the bratty brood of a recent widower Mr. Brown (Colin Firth), who's under pressure to find a new wife or lose his much-needed allowance from wealthy Aunt Adelaide (a tailor-made role for Angela Lansbury). His love for scullery maid Evangeline (Kelly Macdonald) remains unspoken as he wincingly woos the eagerly merry widow Mrs. Quickly (Celia Imrie), but Brown's raucous rugrats have a plan to make things right, especially after they've come under the benevolent influence of Nanny McPhee, whose peculiar brand of discipline works wonders for everyone involved. Both quintessentially British and universally appealing, this wildly colourful comedy (thanks to a bold ...
Amazing Film, 2010-03-01
I brought this for my son who is 4. He absolutely adores this film (as do his mummy and daddy). We have watched this as a family again and again and we still are not bored with it. Its good fun - especially the 'Oglington Fartworthy' bit my son giggles his head off. He is also convinced that if hes naughty Nanny Macphee will come to his house and has been running around with a stick pretending to do her magic! Hence the 5 stars!

An absolutely superb thriller, 2010-02-08
I hate conspiracy theories. They are crass and stupid so most political thrillers tend to become at best ludicrous. But this is superb. A taut intelligent drama which keeps you guessing without ever getting silly.
After the death of a young political researcher and the gunning down of a teenager and courier in London the press kick in to action. Reporter Cal McCaffrey (Jon Simm) is the old friend and political agent of Government Junior Minister Stephen Collins (Morrissey) the researcher's boss. Morrissey is working on a report into the oil industry and a big oil company looms ever present in the background as a sinister but largely unseen adversary. McCaffrey finds evidence which links the murders and the researcher's death but as he begins to join the dots much more begins to fall out of the cupboard including his own feelings for Collins' wife. At the same time a hitman remains on the loose and the police on the warpath when they realise that the newspaper has been withholding information.
The two central performances are excellent as is the tension between two old friends who need each other but don't necessarily like each other that much anymore. All of the characters have depth and the complex relationships within the newspaper offices are particularly good. Bill Nighy's editor's disdain for James McAvoy's cub reporter is especially good. So often these kind of relationships are just pointless tack ons but here they really work as does the transformation of Kelly MacDonald's character after she realizes how much danger she's placed herself in.
If you enjoy thrillers, have more than a five minute attention span and don't require big explosions throughout then I heartily recommend this.

All-time Great!, 2010-01-14
What a movie! Absolutely full of suspense, brilliant production, great performances from all the cast, particularly from the wee Glesca lassie Kelly Macdonald (but then I'm a biased Scot!). Gritty, violence personified. Get it in Blu-ray.

heartwarming, 2009-09-19
