Okay, it’s a new year. We’re all feeling a bit rough. What better place to spend your month-long hangover than in a nice dark cinema? Here’s Chris's Six Picks at the Flicks for January. So the big one this month is Trainspotting 2. Nobody’s going to call it that! Hollywood’s been churning out unnecessary sequels for years, so it’s about time Scotland stepped up to the plate and said, “Hey! We can also do that.” A film that's been generating a lot of buzz for awards season is Jackie, with Natalie Portman as Jackie Kennedy, unravelling following the assassination of her husband. We have a new film by Alejandro Jodorowski, Endless Poetry which looks mental. Now for three classics, Not to sound like a broken record that somebody’s been snorting gear off of, but the Transporting sequel’s out this month. So what better time to reacquaint yourself with the original?
It’s back in cinemas for one night only on the 17th of January. You can catch it at the Grosvenor in Glasgow, the Edinburgh Filmhouse, and Cineworld in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Falkirk and Aberdeen. On the 20th of January at the GFT, you can catch a late night screening of one of Chris's favourites: Evil Dead II. It’s either one of the funniest horror films ever made or one of the goriest comedies ever made. Either way, it’s a good time. Strap in.
And finally, to celebrate the release of Martin Scorsese’s latest, Silence, the Edinburgh Filmhouse is doing a Scorsese Season with a selection of his films. There’s tons to check out. Let us know what you’re going to see in the comments below.
