Battleship
Date	Location
When aliens invade the waters around Hawaii, wayward naval officer Alex Hopper (Kitsch) must assemble a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits to fight back.

Forrest Gump
Date	Location
Even those with the lowest IQs can rise to the top in the land of the free, as this picaresque tale sets out to prove.

There are some bitter tasting choices hidden among the soft centres. View full details

Iron Sky
Date	Location
Nazis on the moon! In Finland’s first blockbuster, a US lunar expedition discovers a hidden moonbase where Nazis have been hiding since the end of WW II. Shame that Vuorensola’s flat satire and B-movie plotting don’t live up to the inspired premise. For once, a Hollywood remake might be in order. View full details

Puss in Boots
Date	Location
Puss (Banderas) and Humpty Dumpty (Galifianakis) attempt to steal magic beans from Jack and Jill, with Hayek as feline accomplice Kitty Softpaws.

The Raid
Date	Location
An Indonesian SWAT team storms a Jakarta tower block intending to take down crime lord Tama (Sahetapy), but finds itself trapped.

Luke Wright (Statham), suicidal ex-cop-turned-cage-fighter, is about to jump in front of a train when he befriends Mei (Chan), Chinese schoolgirl and math genius who knows how to access a fortune. Generic villains and excessive body count can't tarnish Statham's likable machismo and the unstoppable energy of the action scenes. A guilty pleasure. View full details

17 Jun 8pm	Scotsman Screening Room, Edinburgh

Titanic
Date	Location
Cameron tackles the story of the doomed ocean liner through a touching love story that isn't overwhelmed by the awesome special effects. Rich girl Rose (Winslet) is unhappily engaged to arrogant Cal (Zane) but falls for third-class passenger Jack (DiCaprio). Love blossoms as the ship hits an iceberg in the North Atlantic, conveying both the scale of the disaster and the feeling of claustrophobia as the water rises. View full details

31 May 11am	Cineworld Cardiff, Cardiff

Top Gun
Date	Location
Say what you like about him, Scott undoubtedly has the golden touch at the box office. This emotionless formula adventure about men being grandly upstaged by very fast, very expensive and very dangerous aircraft, with the splendid Ms McGillis thrown for love interest, made a fortune, especially in the US. It had to be those planes, or maybe the rampant 'America the strong' ethos of the film, because it doesn't have much more to offer. View full details
