The CK's Not-So-Secret Santa Review Swap: A Two Tickets For... Video Review of "Trainspotting" (1996)

Andrew: Hello readers! It's been a little while since Sarah and I have done a video review, and when our friend Nick at The Cinematic Katzenjammer invited us to take part in his Not-So-Secret Santa Review Swap (In July), we figured it was a perfect opportunity to make another one!

The basic idea is that we gave Nick a movie that we want someone else to review and he gave us a random one from a fellow blogger taking part in the blogathon. We can't really say which film we gave out, but be assured that it was one of our favorite films that we wanted someone else to watch and review. The film we were given was Trainspotting, Danny Boyle's 1996 film about heroin addicts in Scotland starring Ewan McGregor. So to check out our take on the film we were assigned, watch the video after the jump! (And don't hesitate to leave any comments after you do!)

Trying Something New, and We're Not Ashamed of It!: Our Video Review of "Shame" (2011)

Andrew: Hello readers! We're trying something new here on Two Tickets For... where we're going to do a video review of any movie that we haven't seen before and are just now catching up on DVD/Blu-Ray. If it has a positive reception and we can make them better as we go, maybe we'll make it a regular feature!


For our first foray into doing a video review, we watched last year's NC-17 film Shame starring Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan. So check out our video below for our review! (And yes, yes we did use iMovie on Sarah's MacBook Pro. Go us!)
