Review: This movie is excellent. I suggest you read the book before you see the movie though, otherwise you'll really not know what the hell is going on because its very difficult to understand what thoes goddamn people are trying to say even though it has subtitles. This movie take three main stories from the book and recreates them into live action, following strictly to the written material. It was cool to see the movie after reading the book because it gave me a new view on how to picture everything in my mind, from the way the cities looked, the way that the characters looked and so on. This movie was dead on. Everything that I imagined while reading the book is what I saw on the screen when i saw the movie. Irvine Welsh has done it again. He is a literary god!

Summary: Spellbound
Review: Well, It just so happened that i only "stumbled" upon this film.

It was on Foxtel recently and i flicked over, and it was already about halfway thru, but once i watched only even a minute of it, i could not bring myself to turn it off or change channels.

I have seen Trainspotting and that is not really my kind of film, and this film certainly isn't my kind either, but I can appreciate other people would like it.

I am quite converservative but like to think I have an open mind about most things, but maybe I don't. One of the lines in this film (only being able to realise what it was saying, due to the subtitles) that i found absolutely appalling was "lick ya mother's pi** flaps, ya c**t". I just couldn't not believe it. I was in shock and disbelief.

This film, as did Trainspotting, certainly showed me how some people in the world really live, and their unfortunate circumstances, and as much as I disliked it, i could not seem to look away or change channels. It saddens me to think that there are really situations like that and people living in an everyday hell. Makes me realise how lucky I am.

Summary: WELSH DELIVERS AGAIN
Review: Well, ladies and gents. If you are a fan of Scottish cinema or Irvine Welsh or just strange indie flicks you should take a flight on the Acid House airlines. 3 sorted stories to make your skin crawl. The Acid House delivers yet another one of Welsh's great books. Nice, romatic, sweet people should stay away from this flick. But anyone who likes their movies full flavored should stop and pick up this masterpiece. If you are a fan of Welsh than the accents and slang should be no problem but for anyone else it will take some getting used to. This covers lots of cool things that people were afraid to put in Trainspotting. Thank Zeitgeist filmsfor delivering a fantastic new movie for a real collectors collection. BRAVO!!!
