T2 Trainspotting:
Its finally here! We revisit the trials and tribulations of Renton, Sick Boy, Spud and Begbie twenty years later under the guidance once again of Danny Boyle.
Will we see a matured and mellowed version of our lead characters or have the years taken their toll?
With early positive reviews in, this promises to be treat for all fans of the original (and maybe even gain a few more along the way!) tale of the drug induced culture and life in present day Edinburgh.
At Home:
The Magnificent Seven:
Obviously not a patch on the original (how could it be?) this is nonetheless an entertaining action packed movie with plenty to keep the viewer satisfied.
With a likeable cast including Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke and Vincent D'Onofrio and even allowing for the heavily hammed performance of Peter Sarsgaard as the villain, Antoine Fuqua's modern take on this all time classic contains enough action to satisfy its audience.
On Telly
Raging Bull:(RTE One Saturday 28th Jan 12:00 am)
One to set the record button for,(why are all the good movies on so late?) this bona fide classic staring Robert De Niro in the lead role, along with a strong supporting cast, including Joe Pesci and under a director in peak artistic form at the time, Raging Bull is one of those movies that deserves repeat viewing and is as enthralling and relevant to its audience today as it was on its initial release in 1980.
