It is still a keen area of debate whether Animal Farm remains relevant for readers of this generation, and I certainly believe it is.

Movie Review : Trainspotting
★★★★ It's a really honest portrayal of drugs and is surely one of the finest "drug" movie out there. There's a joyous feeling coupled with despair that really pervades that film and I think it does the subject justice. Danny Boyle's classic holds up terrifically well.

Movie Review : The Wolf of Wall Street
★★★★★ This may be the highest-velocity three-hour movie ever, a delirious and borderline addictive wash of adrenaline, testosterone, and controlled substances.
