Rating:  - Instant Review: Great, Brilliant, Oh God make it stop.
A collection of three films strung together with wildly different results.
The first film (The Granton Star Cause 8/10) is a pleasant surprise and high comedy. It is a take on Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis mixed with God, elderly S and M, and a football team. Outrageous and funny it is great black comedy involving a bloke named Boab who is having a very bad day indeed. And as God lovingly points out it is his own lazy incompetence that is basically responsible for his troubles.

I heard about this movie a few years ago from a friend. What mainly interested me was that it was based on a novel by Irvine Welsh who also wrote Trainspotting. I loved the movie Trainspotting and so i decided to watch this, hoping it would be similar. It's really not. The film has its moments, but the camera work and the editing make parts of it very choppy. The story is not one story, but three and there is only a loose connection between them. It doesn't have near the drug content (or the ... Read More

This film was a very bizarre characterization of the Irvine Welsh collection of stories of the same name. While Trainspotting was a spot-on adaptation of a similar kind of book (random stories and characters) and excellent on-screen, The Acid House is better left for the printed page, although the unusual Ewen Bremner (Trainspotting's unforgettable "Spud") is a stand-out here.

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 ... Read More

As I review more and more films they are slowly becoming more and more difficult to review. Why? There are just some films out there that are this solid mix of great and average that it is difficult to give a definitive answer. Did I like it or didn't I? The lines are getting more and more fuzzy as the films continue to pour on. The only ones that I do not have trouble with are the uncreative lacklusters that Hollywood is notorious for releasing. Thankfully, that is not the case with The Acid ... Read More
