'Steve Jobs' (2015)
Writers: Aaron Sorkin and Walter Isaacson
Release Date: 13th November 2015
Hot Rating: 💥💥💥💥
The adaptation of Walter Isaacson's biography underwent many creative shifts, from the initial choice for David Fincher to direct the film with Christian Bale in the role of Jobs, to Danny Boyle's appointment and the pursuit of Leonardo Dicaprio for the lead, audiences were eventually granted Michael Fassbender as the innovative Californian inventor. While the physical similarities between Jobs and Fassbender are few and far between, the German-born actor does a remarkable job of tracking the mannerisms of the Apple CEO throughout three product launches. While this three-act narrative hinders our knowledge of the tech giant's roots, Sorkin's encompassing script ensures that we're at all ears throughout Jobs's professional and personal history. From this enigmatic lead, the supporting roles of Joanna Hoffman (Kate Winslet) and Steve Wozniak (Seth Rogan) provide stability, of which Winslet's performance as the Polish-born marketing executive incarnates the guiding compassion to Jobs pragmatic approach to business.
'T2: Trainspotting' (2017)
Writers: John Hodge and Irvine Welsh (based on the book by)
Release Date: 27th January 2017
Hot Rating: 💥💥💥💥
The pressure upon a director in charge of a sequel is always present, yet Danny Boyle's twenty-year follow up to his original adaptation of Irvine Welsh's 'Trainspotting' (1996), a gritty tale of Glaswegian heroin addicts, had audiences' expectations sky-high. Obviously, Boyle could not replicate the success of his 96' drama with the reprisals of his original cast and writing crew (John Hodge and Irvine Welsh) alone. Instead, he looks to long-time collaborator, Anthony Dod Mantle, to conjure a fresh aesthetic, a challenge that the Oscar-winning cinematographer executes with style. From the wider use of Scottish filming locations, including the capital Edinburgh, Boyle successfully expands the franchise without diminishing its charm. While, like protagonist Renton, the film flirts with nostalgia to guide the chemistry between central characters, the willing supports from Carlyle (Begbie), Ewen Bremner (Spud) and Johnny Lee Miller (Sickboy) ensure that their respective stories never feel outworn or overestimated.
