This week we went to see T2: Trainspotting. The first film is truly iconic and a great anti-drug film and a must see! Now a lot of people expected this to be nothing more than a ‘cash grab’ but director Danny Boyle had always wanted to wait to the actors aged, as felt it could be more faithful to ‘Porno’ the Irvine Welsh written sequel, which has been adapted, like the first … [Read more...]
